Molly Callens (Katie Findlay) and Ryan (Wyatt Nash) can't find their way back together after her father's secret interference. It's 7 years later. She's 25 and working for her media mogul father in Seattle. She is being pushed to be the CEO and engaged to Preston. Ryan moves back home to Franklin, Tennessee for an unknown reason. The Bridge is closed after some storm damage. Donna (Faith Ford) and Charlie (Ted McGinley) don't have the right insurance. The Bridge is fated to be closed forever and then Charlie's car accident puts him in a coma. Molly comes to visit Charlie.

This is an improvement over Part One. Her dad's scheme is still very sitcom but that's the last movie. For this movie, he is a proper villain and is able to find redemption. Molly and Ryan keep circling the same problem. The passage of time helps a lot. It's believable that these two don't want to revisit their past pains. The young couple are very beautiful and they deliver the sappy romance with gusto. Katie especially can really weep up a storm.

7.9 stars.

I like part 2 juuuuust a little bit more than the first. It does seem to take its time with the two lead figuring out that things were manipulated the first time around. For two very intelligent adults, they sure aren't very emotionally intelligent. There is an extreme lack of trust between them, some sort of disconnect. Why can't they figure out what happened, why can't they just ask each other the simple questions and get to the root of the issue? No, no, they can't do that, because it would hobble the drama factor. They must string us along so we can enjoy the confusion and eventual revelation that leads us to closure and love. I wonder if these two kids will get married. Stick around for the end, maybe you'll be rewarded.

This movie is so unnecessary. It dragged on and on and on. The first movie should have just been a half an hour longer. No need to drag this story out over two separate movies. Many of the scenes were redundant. As is this review since there's a minimum character count. The acting was decent, even the storyline was good, just, stretched out too much. Where they left off in the first movie also made this second movie rather gloomy, since it was all the conflict and sadness before the inevitable christmasy happy ending. Its not too bad as a romance movie though. Somewhat different of a premise. Just. Too long.

The stars of The Bridge are awesome. I would love to see Wyatt Nash in the show "Nashville". He would be wonderful on that show since he lives in Nashville and can sing and play the guitar! Wyatt Nash looks like he could be related to Reese Witherspoon and he is very handsome and a good actor. Please forward my comments to the Nashville producers and to the Hallmark Channel. Katie Findlay is a very pretty young lady and a very good actress. I have not seen her in many productions but she has a beautiful smile and eyes. I have seen Faith Ford in many Hallmark Channel movies and she is an excellent actress and pretty lady. The author of the book "The Bridge" has done a great job of proving that "reading books" and buying them from a friendly neighborhood bookstore is healthier for people than reading books online. This author has done a great job showing the public that lives are enriched by buying books from a bookstore like the Bridge.
