Unthinkably Good Things

So - I've reviewed this a couple of times - and my review never gets posted.

I wanted to like this movie. The concept seemed fun. All about friendship - longterm friendships. Trusting each other. Having fun together ... sounds fun!

Well - in some respects it was. The friendships were genuine. The problems friends have were real. The resolutions - a little farfetched ... but acceptable.

I felt there was WAY too much stuff going on. Trying to follow what was going on with each was confusing. (The Wedding Veil trilogy did it better - focusing on one friend at a time - but still playing on the friendships.) I was having trouble following what each of the women were involved doing and if/how it affected the other friends.

Also - seemed more suited to BET than Hallmark. Just my opinion ...

I really hope they make a series of movies. It was funny and charming and of course it had Lance in it so add extra stars for that! I would love to see what happens next for all of the characters in the movie. The setting was Italy and that made it even more enjoyable to watch. I wouldn't listen to the haters, my only wish is that it were a 4 part series like they do other Hallmark movies. About 4 movies a year would be nice. I don't think I would tire of seeing Lance Gross and Luca Seta. Teri Vaughn did a great job setting things up for a series of films. We can only hope there's more stories to tell.

I really loved this movie. The women had wonderful chemistry and truly brought us into their stories. I loved following each woman's journey. It is charming, peaceful, clever, beautiful, and I want more from them. It reminds me of all the good sisterhood-type movies and shows, with complex and developed characters, subtle and clever jokes, and the hope that each woman makes the choices that will bring out their best and happiest futures. We know these women. I love and appreciate that Hallmark has created the Mahogany sector, and I'm looking forward to the richness the movies will bring to the channel.

I really enjoyed this movie. It had a warm feel about life and the importance of having good friends (girlfriend) in your life to support you through life's trials and tribulations. It touch on infertility issues, cancer illness, relationship ups and down and new career starts as well as exploring life in a new country. Great acting and story line and the Jill Scott song, Golden, was the perfect song for this movie.

I especially enjoyed and appreciated that the women were professional women already established in life but each going through different things. It was a down to earth, real life movie. 👍

I'm sorry, but there were too many plots going on and took too long to merge into a cohesive story. Too many times the storylines were resolved in unrealistic fantasy which made me lose interest in the characters and whatever mainline plot was attempting to be achieved.

Some good acting, but overshadowed by the lack of cohesiveness between the storylines. I had a hard time relating to the characters being portrayed as it seemed to be a scatterbrained attempt to bring multiple plots together. I guess because the main story was about friendships, it's really hard to develop a storyline that isn't quickly boring. I unfortunately lost interest about half way through and only half paid attention until it ended. I tried, but couldn't stop being cynical about the dialog in many cases. It may have been that many of the interactions between the characters were too lackluster and unrealistic for me.
