Road Trip Romance

The sister of the bride doesn't know what church her sister is getting married at?? Come on!!

Hallmark movies are generally lame but enjoyable but this was really,really lame. Yet I continued to watch.

This is pretty much what you'd expect. There are no great highs or lows or any surprises. Like so many movies about being stranded or a bad road trip, the only tension was if Megan would get to the wedding. It doesn't really matter what the obstacles were but there were definitely a flight cancellation and a car break down.

The tone and style of the movie reminded me so much of Cross Country Christmas. The silliness was a little too much at times. The sequence where everyone added "eth" to the end of every verb got annoying. But otherwise the Renaissance Fair was a highlight.

I tend to enjoy Natalie Hall, but not always. I did not like the character Megan in the early stages. I thought she was unnecessarily mean to Alden. But she and Corey Sevier had modest chemistry.

I used to tune into every single Hallmark Channel movie when new ones premiered, but this one...nope. The whole festival was way too drawn out and long. The Hallmark writing department must be scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find a decent script. This was unwatchable. I suffered through it though because I like the two leading actors a lot. The two didn't have any chemistry whatsoever and I felt like they were over acting during certain parts. I hardly paid attention to this one. Definitely a one time watch for me.

She's one of my favorites but didn't care for this movie. Something didn't mesh. Not sure if it was the dialogue or the chemistry but I was disappointed.

5.4 stars.

Take a Hallmark barrel of wine and you'll find "Road Trip Romance" submerged in the dregs. How am I going to get through this film? I am not. How far did I get before I opted to delete from my DVR? You may guess if you like. 51 minutes is where I am at this moment as I write this review. I have 260 (give or take) characters left before I've met the minimum requirement. I feel obligated to finish the review if only for the responsibility I have toward all those who will someday read this. I don't think anyone will ever read this but myself next year when I'm trudging through the huge list of Hallmarks to eliminate the dross. I will never return to this failure of an attempt at light humor. Maybe there's an audience for this, who knows.
