Just ok

Rachael Harris and Wilson Cruz were missed opportunities for a much better movie. Miranda Cosgrove's influencer job needed more backstory and her acting needed some help. I wasn't so much a fan of Teale, I didn't find much charisma from him on screen, and the chemistry with him and Cosgrove was dull. Same with Brooke Shields and Benjamin Bratt.

The plot was a story that's been told before with nothing that sets it apart. The tropical background did all the heavy lifting, and again, Harris and Cruz were the standouts (as they usually are in their projects).

I'm really glad to see Brooke Shields back on screen, but this movie was filler. Her other Netflix film, A Castle for Christmas, was delightful but Mother of the Bride has very little in terms of plot, just a really good tropical locale.
