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.

This movie had potential in the actors, supporting cast and diversity, set location. However it fell short because of the poorly written story with lots of gaps and editing that left more to be desired. The leads, and entire cast, were owed more.

I hate to be negative, because I love hallmark movies! But this movie lacked so much! The characters were annoying! ALL OF THEM ! CRINGE (molly)D' ORSAY AS THE MAID OF HONOR and sister (she was so fake and cheesy.) The groom character was so disconnected, as a actor just seemed off. They Were UNlikable characters. Normally you grow to love and fight for at least one character. I did like the Beverly Hills wedding coordinator lol. Maybe different actor, actresses it could've been a better show. Thankful we will quit seeing ( and hearing ) the commercial for this movie with the Beverly Hills song since it has aired now....the commercial for this movie was annoying af too!

I usually like the leads but this movie had no redeeming qualities. I don't know who was more annoying, the bride's sister or the whiny groom. Maybe the groom's brother should have married the bride. They were the only normal people in the movie. It took until fifteen minutes before the end for anyone to "see the light". The bride's sister wasn't just a typical, domineering older sister. She was a pushy nightmare steamrolling everyone into a wedding she had no real reason to want for them. The groom was petty and deliberately boorish. Who demands beer instead of champagne at their wedding? Why not just ask for both? Who demands cobbler instead of a wedding cake? I doubt most guys care that much about those details. And poor Matthew MacCaull had to play this over the top wedding planner straight out of Father of the Bride minus the charm of Martin Short. They didn't even get costume details correct. The bride's dress did NOT have a sweetheart neckline. All it would take is a Google search to find the correct name or don't say what kind of neckline it has. Hallmark should start paying attention to the viewer reviews in IMDB. A lot of them are saying they need better writers and they're spot on. The writing on this movie was terrible and the actors suffer for it. It's impossible for them to give a good performance with such a lousy script.
At one point the "professional photographer " while taking a photo, had her pinkie in front of the lens. She would have seen it in the SLR if she was actually taking a picture, not acting

I have seen a lot of wedding films, but I have Never Ever seen a movie quite like this one. It was so bad. It was beyond bad that I don't even have any words to describe just how Bad It Was. It was so terrible from start to finish. Honestly the only character I actually like is Cory the brother/best man. I hate how Molly kept trying to force the wedding on her sister and soon to be brother-in-law. She quickly lost focus and only cared about what she wanted and as for her romance with her ex... I did not feel any connection between them and all the bickering wasn't helping their relationship either. Plus I feel like we didn't get much focus on Cory at all. Too much Molly and not enough Cory.
As for the bride and groom... I liked them, but they were also annoying since Sophia aka the bride pretty much let Molly get away with a lot in this film and I got where Jordan aka the groom was coming from. This wasn't the wedding he or Sophia had in mind, but all his constant complaining was beyond annoying and he never gave anything a chance. Plus the wedding planner was supposed to be helping the bride and groom, but he acted more like Molly's partner in crime, trying to force the couple into a big fancy wedding when all they wanted was something simple. Overall, this is one of the Worst Wedding Films I Have Ever Seen and I Will Never EVER Watch It Again!

So bad I smashed my own TV up! Unlikeable characters in an unlikely yarn (except for the wedding planner - he was good).

Am not saying this with pleasure and am hardly a serial Hallmark detractor, a long way from that. The story didn't sound anything special, but Hallmark have more than once made something worth watching out of nothing special stories. Brooke D'Orsay has been very charming in many other films, although her filmography is not consistent. Brendan Penny is more take and leave (mostly watchable) and it has always been dependent on the character in question and what he is given in the script.
'Beverly Hills Wedding' just doesn't work at all and fails in nearly every area. Am one of those people who has always tried to see good in the bad, though there are films etc where it is hard to find any good. 'Beverly Hills Wedding' comes very close to being one of those films but manages to be not quite irredeemable. Of Hallmark's 2021 Love Ever After films, this to me has got to be down there as among the worst. There are some watchable 2021 Hallmark films, but 'Beverly Hills Wedding' isn't one of them.
There are two things that stop 'Beverly Hills Wedding' from being completely disposable. One is the production values, which are quite nice. The scenery particularly.
Matthew MacCaull deserves some credit for being the only person who tries in the whole film and doing so without resorting to scenery-chewing.
D'Orsay however has never been more irritating and Emma Johnson overacts one of the most annoying film characters of 2021. Meanwhile Penny and Ben Sullivan look completely miserable throughout, Penny particularly looked as if he didn't want to be there. All the chemistry is disconnected between everybody, especially the underdeveloped central one. Count me in as another person who intensely disliked, and even downright hated, pretty much all the characters excepting MacCaull's. Especially Johnson.
Also risible is the excessively cheesy and repetitive script, that goes well overkill on the childish and whiny bickering to the point that you want the characters to shut up. The story is paper thin and has no surprises, charm, fun or heart whatsoever. Much of it drags as a result of stretching the thin material out too much and the middle act is just cringe-worthy beyond words. The direction lacks distinction, the music is forgettable at best and the too pat and undeserved ending can be seen from miles off.
Overall, very, very poor. 2/10.

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!

Ghastly script...taking over her sister's wedding and steamrolling both bride and groom into a lavish unwanted event just because it's all free and might propel her career is wrong on nearly every front. I look forward to any Brendan Penny movie and have enjoyed Brooke D'Orsay since Royal Pains but lordy this was a slog. Rate this one at the rock bottom of the barrel.

I always attempt to read the reviews and look at rating(s) after we watch the movie. Wow...there were quite a few negative reviews, so I guess I was amongst the few who enjoyed it. Yea, we all look at and evaluate movies in different pairs of eyes, so I would never disparage those who ripped this movie, along with Brooke and Brendan. I like Brooke a lot and Brendan is growing on me, they are both very authentic and in my eyes they were that way here too. I look at the chemistry between the leads, and I likes it.
Yea, a predictable movie with its evolution and ending, but that's what HM delivers, so go along with the ride.
Would I watch it again? Probably.

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.

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.

It's your normal hallmark movie of ex's meeting again and falling in love. The sister is too pushy about her sisters wedding. In discussing the moms wedding dress that the sister wants to wear, it is described as having a sweetheart neckline and an empire waist. However when the wedding happens, the dress has neither. I know the wedding planner said they could alter the dress but he was talking about the fit and not the design. Come on Hallmark pay attention to the story and make things fit!!

Molly and Cory's chemistry was natural! Not overplayed.
I would like to see a love story unfold for them but stick with the story line
This movie was charming. This is by far one of my favorite Hallmark films, as of now.
I really wanted to love this movie, but it was kind of disappointing. The complaining groom cast a dark shadow over the entire movie and sent a poor message - lack of gratitude. I liked the maid of honor - she's always a favorite - and the wedding planner was also likeable - but this movie missed the mark somehow. Super disappointed.
