Matrimonio a Clare Lake

Not the best sequel. Why was she so suspicious? It was unnecessary. Just kind of meh. I watched it because I liked the other two movies.

I think they should have at least acknowledged the shaved head. We know why he did it in real life - but it wasn't even acknowledged in the movie. No reference at all - just like it was normal, every day behavior. It could have been explained in some fashion.

Won't watch again ... not enough magic.

Cara and Ben decide to get married before their schedules takes them to Europe and Asia respectively. Of course, they choose to marry where they first met.

We were expecting this movie to go in that direction, being the final one (probably) but weird things happened: one the leads wasn't there, the locations changed, our main lead didn't have hair and new characters showed up. Personally, I can excuse a few of things, because, you know, COVID, and the world is changing constantly, but all of these together? It's like I was watching a whole different movie. They probably should have waited a little bit longer.

I have been looking forward to this movie and was excited (OWW is one of my favorites), but if it doesn't stay true to the other two, (which I loved) what's the point? Someone who didn't watch the previous two could have watched this without problems and that's the issue here.

We all know Taylor and Jack have good chemistry but that wasn't enough to save this one. Unfortunately, this was disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it because I already fell connected to these characters, specially Cara and Ben but it wasn't enough.

Storywise: another fail. These two are getting married and are suspicious/keeping secrets? They could have used so many plots but they chose one of the worst (a third party being the worst idea EVER).

Anyway, this is the worst of the trilogy. It hurts to say that because One Winter Weekend is one of my favorites of Hallmark. HOWEVER, if they decide to make another one, I will probably watch it.

'One Perfect Wedding', or 'Our Winter Wedding', is the third film of the 'Our Winter' series. Of the three, 'Our Winter Proposal' (the second) was by far the best for me. Was not a fan of 'Our Winter Weekend', though it did do some things very well, but 'Our Winter Proposal' was pretty good and improved in some areas (for instance Taylor Cole). Was not that excited for 'One Perfect Wedding', despite being about the wedding there was the worry about it feeling like a sequel too far.

That unfortunately was the feeling that was gotten watching 'One Perfect Wedding'. Do absolutely agree with those saying that it is the worst of the three, by quite some way, and don't have much to add to the reasons as to why. As far as the 2021 Hallmark films go, 'One Perfect Wedding' is one of the weaker ones. And one of the weakest, maybe even the weakest, of the 2021 Spring Fling films. The previous two 2021 Spring Fling films were far from perfect, but with the vast amount of things that goes wrong here this film makes 'Chasing Waterfalls' and 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' seem like masterpieces in comparison.

Are there good things? Yes. The best actor is Rukiya Bernard, which was true of the previous two films as well. She is on sparkling form and generates a warmth that the rest of the film badly lacks. Jack Turner also doesn't come over too badly, though his role seemed underwritten.

Best of all though is the scenery, which is stunning and beautifully shot.

However, a lot is wrong. Taylor Cole acts like too much of a cold ice queen and there is no chemistry between her and Turner. Tedra Rogers irritates as her character, one that is completely unnecessary to the story and probably was just there to fill in for Sean. The chemistry with everyone is too disconnected and only Bernard's character is likeable. The others suffer from being bland and from the character flaws being overdone. Absolutely agree that the suspicion was irrational and overused.

Furthermore, the script is stilted and feels both forced and too thick on the schmaltz. The story is paper thin and predictable, but it also feels like it was made and written in a rush. With too many events moving too unrealistically fast and rash near senseless decisions being made too quickly and in a contrived way (i.e. One of the cheesiest ways of proposing to someone to ever happen in a film in recent memory). The direction is routine at best and the music is neither memorable or particularly fitting.

Summing up, pretty weak. 3/10.

I don't care if Turner was bald, since it's easy to find why he shaved it off. I did care that Dewshane was not there. I don't understand why he wasn't, and maybe he was on another shoot or something, but this movie should have had a halt put on it till they had all the ducks in a row. When you have gone to all the trouble to make 2 other wonderful movies, I never understand why the 3rd one, frequently, is always ruined by things that make no sense whatsoever. I liked the mystery, but at times it seemed as if Cara was more interested in that than her wedding. Why was his sister put there? Again, another oddity that made no sense. But, the absolute WORST of all of this movie? Dewshane proposing on an iPad? What the heck was Hallmark thinking? No. I don't buy the digital age explanation. It was horrible. If a man cannot propose in person, then don't do it at all! It only serves to make a woman believe he doesn't care about her. There was no reason for him to propose this way, so it should have just left that up in the air, or said he had something to ask her when he returned from wherever he was. I give this movie a 5 in that the first 1/2 was not too bad, but the second part seemed totally and completely rushed as if something happened at the last second, and they decided to proceed with whatever someone came up with for the end.

Dewshane Williams had to video in his role. Jack Turner may love his new look, but I agree with one reviewer to the extent that it at least makes me wonder if he was sick. And with another who asks why is Cara so suspicious?

I'm not a fan of wedding planning movies. I want to watch the getting to know you stage. The wedding planning part of this movie wasn't that interesting, different, or funny.

The plot in this one is so thin that Taylor Cole has to channel her Ruby Herring roles so they could put a mystery in to fill time. The mystery is mildly interesting.

The last scene is the best part of the movie for two reasons: 1) it was a unique and sweet way to do what they were there for; and 2) absolutely gorgeous scenery.
