Destination Wedding

There was zero chemistry between these two actors. I wouldn't have paired them together. Big thumbs down unfortunately. With other people these actors are pretty good most of the time. Not this time.

I loved this movie. It is not complex or rocket science. Perfect summer movie. The actors are sweet and compelling. Other than the acting and the story, my favorite part was the scenery. Most of the scenes took place in warm sunny weather on amazingly beautiful beaches. As all hallmark movies do, this had a misunderstanding close to the end but ended in romantic happily ever fashion.

Ellie played by Alexa PenaVega plans her sister's DESTINATION WEDDING and must endure spending time with her ex boyfriend, the best man Greg. Ellie and Greg then spin lie after lie after the bride and groom begin having problems and don't board their plane to Mexico.

Will Ellie and Greg patch up their differences and rekindle their romance? Will Ellie's dolt of a current boyfriend propose?

Cute funny film. No tissues required.

Alexa's acting often felt forced. The plot was so-so. Somehow, the wow factor was not there in this movie. They need to do better with casting. First time I turned off a Hallmark move 1/4 into it. The main and supporting actors just felt bland. The plot was not developed well.

7.3 stars.

I give this over 7 stars because I really wanted it to be better and although it disappointed me several times, there is still something special about the ambience and the characters. The family are all endearing, the father and grandmother do a good job. The main characters made something of a disjointed storyline. The concierge wedding planner fill in guy was interesting, if not entertaining from time to time. I liked how he was everywhere doing everything, just showing up to play every other role in the film basically. They could have made this aspect even more hilarious. I think this film just comes up short a little bit on every single point. The acting was average, the story was engineered defectively, the characters have so much potential, the whole film has so much potential. The best part is the ocean. Oh well, but it was still ok because PenaVega is extremely alluring. She has a presence and a poise that most actors fail to attain. I hope she makes it to the big time one day, the really big time like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston level.
