A Wedding Wonderland

I love most Hallmark movies and I did enjoy watching this but not as much as I would have with different actors. The two main characters were not suited to each other at all. The male lead was far too handsome for Andrea Bowen who is a very pretty girl but no where near pretty enough to be matched with the male, I kept thinking, why is he with her and not with someone like her best friend. I also couldn't understand why anyone would think the two choices of wedding dress were nice in any way. They looked cheap- like a supermarket wedding dress. Definitely not a dress that someone who came from a rich family would wear. This was a big fail for the wardrobe department and they were also very on the lovely Andrea. I hated the mum character- she was horrible to everyone but loved the dance scene in the barn- it put a smile on my face. The other two parents had great chemistry and looked to be very much in love,

The bride to be is so annoying, spineless and gives in too easily to everyone. How can you get married when you don't even know yourself and your own mind. Her mother should have been told to back off well before half way through, if not by the daughter, by her husband. There is no chemistry here, I think because of the brides shallow attitude. Gosh if you had a man like that love you you'd get married anywhere.

This film was deceitfully on the Christmas channel in December. It is not a Christmas film at all, but rather set just beforehand. So it is wintery and in some ways festive, but not to the standards I look for. I was able to watch it to the end however, as it wasn't a bad film at all, it just wasn't amazing, although I did like the romance.

I found it easy to watch because Nick Bateman (The lead male) is basically sex on legs and it helped that his characters brother was played by Adam Senn, who is also rather nice to look at. Some would say gorgeous!

The main female is not what I would call leading lady material, but does the job ok. None of the rest of the cast do a bad job either, but the girls mother is really quite a piece of work. I can't stand these sorts of characters.

If you want some eye candy then tune in, but don't expect Carols and Snowmen.

Nick Bateman Saves this movie.

Unfortunately this movie's plot is thin, focusing on one superficial aspect of planning a wedding. So the drama is very light. Dont expect life altering lessons from watching this movie.

However most of the actors do the best you could expect with the material. The main couple's chemistry is tame but then again it's a Hallmark movie not Showtime. Plus there's a secondary couple with a romanctic plotline too.

Ultimately, if you're looking for romantic escapism this will certainly do the trick because lead Nick Bateman is not just adorable but oozes charm. (Heart him!)

This movie is not very good due to miscasting of the bride and groom. Also, the character of the bride's mother is awful. She needed to be put in her place much earlier in the story rather than continue to be a very negative and awful influence in the story line. Too much of the story line is take up by "making the mother happy" rather than what the couple's wishes are and what they want. I kept waiting for the daughter/bride to grow a spine but she never did before I turned it off. She was pathetic because she let her mother run over her and also for not supporting her fiance/. This movie was so bad I didn't finish watching it.
