The Perfect Bride

Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith are familiar to you if you watch When Calls the Heart.

Their chemistry is perfect in this light hearted movie about being your best self when you get married and how to make sure your marriage lasts.

Funny and sweet this movie will make you smile and laugh.

8.0 stars.

There is a rare and engaging chemistry between the leads that makes this a very satisfying film. I was impressed by their spontaneous and exciting interactions. He is fun and energetic and she adeptly reciprocates, and there is no denying their on-screen harmony. Funny I just saw them both in 'You Had me at Aloha' earlier this week.

'The Perfect Bride' is original and skillfully tells the story of a woman and man with an undeniable affinity for each other. One of the most remarkable aspects is that neither one of them attempts to hide their feelings even though one of them is engaged. The fact they are soulmates is obvious and their hearts are exposed from the very first scene.

'The Perfect Bride' could motivate you to give yourself another chance at love. Through the medium of a woman who is a marriage counselor and fitness trainer, we learn a few lessons about the importance of communication in relationships. What this film also teaches is that love is a gift and just as we would not deny others the right to be loved, we often forget that we equally deserve it. And finally, the story is uniquely constructed to convey a powerful statement that marriage is about friendship and not about obligation.

This television movie includes most of the elements of a typical Hallmark film. And it is rather predictable, as expected. But it does a couple of things that are different or unique.

The main character, Molly (Pascale Hutton), conducts Bridal Boot Camp sessions in a fitness center. She combines exercise with counseling for brides-to-be. During her course, she incorporates six necessary skills for a healthy relationship, like communication and honesty. Writer Rick Garman cleverly uses these teaching moments to advance the story, showing that one relationship might not be so perfect, and indicating that another match might be in the cards.

While this story includes the usual fairytale elements, it also includes a dose of realism. Not all of the relationships end with a walk down the aisle. And it demonstrates that brides who try to create a wedding experience to match the perfect fantasies in their heads should consider taking a more relaxed approach to planning a memorable wedding. This film is recommended for all potential bridezillas.

The chemistry between the two leads is fairly good. Perfection is not necessary anyway, right?

Hallmark sure knows how to write 'em. Molly is a marriage counselor/fitness instructor. I think that's all that needs to be said. Oh yes, and she meets the man of her dreams and of course, lots of predictability because it's Hallmark. But a cute movie, and what you would expect.

There is an old saying you can't buy chemistry or fake chemistry something like that and it is so true so when you see chemistry like Pascale and Kavan's you just want to watch them anytime they are in anything.

I loved this movie and its sequel, it had enough stuff to keep it interesting and real well as real as any movie on Hallmark can be.

Just watch them in anything together and I would love to Kavan do a cooking show check him out on Home and Family cooking.

By way Kavan is so super cute/hot I love his smile.
