Beverly Hills Wedding

But gee how handsome is Matthew MacCaull? 10 stars for him

There was a nice beginning with the sweet proposal and setting up the photos to catch the moments. There was a sweet ending, but I won't describe it. The middle was absolutely cringeworthy.

I have loved Brooke D'Orsay since Royal Pains and everything she's done on Hallmark. She should have stayed home for this one. I thought her acting was poor, but maybe that was what the director wanted. Her overreactions to Cory in the early scenes were terrible. She probably got whiplash. The character of Molly was probably what the writers wanted, but between Molly's being pushy and Jordan's negativity it made the middle of the movie drag badly for a Rom/com. Usually the bride is the zilla, but in this case it was the maid of honor. I'm a little surprised the wedding planner isn't a little more sensitive to what the bride and groom want, but maybe not in Beverly Hills.

I prefer this type of movie to give more screen time to the lead couple growing, or renewing, their relationship. There was far too little of that. D'Orsay and Brendan Penny probably could have had chemistry, but between Molly's whiplash and too little positive screen time, I didn't see it.

I did like Emma Johnson.

For once there was a story that didn't have every formula trope known to rom/coms, but having a couple is unavoidable.

Fight, argue and dislike between the two main characters is the new Hallmark way! Every single movie this season is the same. This film holds true to the new cookie cutter style of movie, except for the last 4 minutes of course. I can't watch many more of these!

This one got on my nerves. Molly was overbearing, but her sister and the fiancé were stupid. They gripes about so many things they agreed to and knew were going to happen. Like how they reluctantly agreed to be filmed as part of an entire wedding being paid for, but then were upset about the videos being online later on. That's childish and a plot device to put more blame on Molly for taking over. Just irritating, shallow characters and lazy writing all around.

We couldn't believe how bland this was. Almost no emotion from anyone. Dialogue was nearly monotone from every character. I think the father and aunt were the only two who smiled before the finale. Definitely not an annual valentines watch.
