Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters

I wish rather than placing the time of this a continuation of the last episode (Oliver and Shane returning from their honeymoon), they would have had them further along in their married life. It would have been a lot more interesting. Shane's personality drastically changed with her responses to Oliver always being oddly sarcastic or infantile. Like she no longer functioned as an intelligent woman. And true to the formula of these type movies (and I did enjoy all the other shows in this series), if the characters would simply have a real conversation most all angst can be avoided. But these two went straight into counseling because they couldn't discuss how the household might run. Ridiculous.

Can you imagine trying to resurrect your character from the mothballs after three years and after you have played other characters, and maybe you even thought your character was dead! PLUS you gained fourteen pounds since you last played yourself (your movie "self").

That's a lot to bring back to the fore. Well, I think they did a pretty good job even if this movie didn't quite evoke the emotions the others have. I usually have to drink lots of water during these movies (keeps me from swallowing my tongue, big lumps in my throat, during the really emotional parts!)

Anyway, we, my Bride (of forty years) and I, enjoyed the movie. We had (intentionally) JUST finished watching all the others in order, including the TV series, so that we could keep the flow as we saw this one.

As I said, this one didn't draw out the emotions as well as the others but it was REALLY cool to have all the characters back! They grow on you!

The cutest couple, IMO, is still Rita and Norman! The most romantic couple is still Ovilear (thanks to Ramon) and Ms McCinerney (sp). ("Vows" was disappointing when Oliver called his new Bride "Ms Mckinerny". Are they married or not?! Maybe it will forever be his nickname for her?)

Anyway, it was somewhat entertaining to see newlyweds learning how to live together under one roof: an OCD neatnik and a SLOB clash for MONTHS before they get their act together. (This is so real! Happens to the best of us. Learning to live under one roof is one of the greatest accomplishments in marriage, ESPECIALLY when, in some areas, we are polar opposites. Well done Hallmark!)

I am hoping this movie is not "the End"! SSD is my fave series from Hallmark. My Bride has others as well. Clean entertainment, some modern, some not so.

One thing that bugs me. Not about this movie. Saw a profile on IMDb about one of the actors in this film, a MALE one, who, as far as I know only PLAYS male characters, and the staff referred to HIM as "THEM" and "THEY"!!! Give me a break! You're gonna lose me IMDb.

I love the Postables, aka the dead letter department or Signed, Sealed and Delivered. It is a franchise that has always touched my heartstrings and I was thrilled to find out that we get to see more beyond the "I do's". The friendships and love in this series make this a must see for this romantic and as I think about it, of course they would tackle the after wedding, after honeymoon marriage.

Ten weeks, four days from I love you to forever...

A tale of three letters begins where The vows we have made left off...with Mr. And Mrs. O'Toole's honeymoon and subsequent return to the Dead Letter Office. The honeymoon was very Shane and Oliver...as was the plane ride home, but I kind of felt like the growing pains of them living together was a little out of character. But in true postables fashion, I really liked the recovery. A counselor, one of Norman's many cousins, helps the two find themselves and their stride as a married couple...and just in time.

"Lovers must learn how to become husbands and wives."

One of the things that is truly special about the postables is the camaraderie between the cast of characters and their continued storylines throughout the series. I loved seeing Norman and Rita's relationship continue to grow and flourish, as well as Oliver's father Joe in his continued support and love for his son. I'm thrilled that they have continued to keep the character of Ramon and I love his little shared pearls of wisdom.

"What do you think that letter said?"-Rita "Enough."-Shane

The dead letter office tackles letters that were destroyed in a potential mailbox bomb, one or two of which involve their own office's Charley. I love that there is always a sweet sub story involving the lost letters and this movie was no exception. A teacher, who is having a bad day in her personal life, takes a hard stand with a student who acts out in anger. The teacher sends a harsh letter to the student, one which she now regrets. Through the love and compassion of the dead letter office, the teacher is offered a solution to her former student only receiving the harsh letter that she now regrets.

"The honeymoon is over and now it's time to get down to the business of being married."

As a romantic and a huge fan of Postables, I was thrilled with this film and particularly loved the beginning and the end. I highly recommend and think that fans will love this entry. I am really hopeful that there will be more...I can't wait to see the additions to both the O'Toole and Dorman families.

"I would go just about anywhere with you, Mr. O'Toole."-Shane.

I loved this movie. This is my favorite Hallmark series and this last movie did not disappoint. I will watch it many many times. Beautifully written and I love the actors. Well done! I am looking forward to the next one in 2025 and hopefully many more to follow. The actors really come through telling Martha's stories, they absolutely have my heart. I have watched all the episodes and movies many many times, never get tired of it. The fans are really hopeful there will be many more to come. There are a lot of fans out there from everywhere that absolutely love this series. Keep them coming, we will watch.

We were excited to actually see a new Hallmark production with a Mystery bent.

But these characters are written as the most dimwitted souls on the planet. . We were truly disappointed and annoyed.

When my wife says turn it off after twenty minutes then it must be really awful.

I try not to render my opinion too soon.

Oliver has so little emotion as to be an android. And what Shane sees in him is a mystery unto itself.

From the flight home babbling through to the ...we can't fix things in the house ...it couldn't get more ridiculous.

The whole baby theme was bizarre. Norman and the baby. Jeez, what a mess.

You couldn't even wait to find the mystery given the level of stupid unrealistic drama they threw up.

A 12 year old could have written a more enticing story.

Hallmark has really lost the great mystery vibe from 2019-2021.
