I looked forward to this movie. Ashley Williams always brings something special to the screen in energy and joy. Ryan Paevey is also always a sure thing. The premise of both-stood-up and go-on-the-honeymoon-anyway sounded like a good one. Even a little unusual. And for the most part, my expectations were met with a but.
Near the end someone says something like "I'm not sure what I think about that." Well that's how I feel about the messages the characters were saying toward the end of the movie. These Hallmark movies and their clones have messages. They may not always be deeply profound, but there are messages. In this movie, I think they were confused and possibly even contradictory.
There was chemistry between Williams and Paevey. But there were some little disconnects also, intentional ones. There were a lot of funny lines and situations. There was a lot of breathtaking scenery.
I Tweeted during the movie: Dear Hallmarkchannel, please make text messages bigger, at least twice as big. Hannah was laughing at a series of them and I never got the joke because even with rewind and pause, I couldn't read them all. That is so frustrating.
Perhaps next time I watch this in a year or so, it will make more sense, but despite some good fun, the feeling I was left with was confusion.
