This is the first Hallmark sequel that has been worth watching. I have eagerly waited for this one with some degree of anxiety, and was somewhat pleased with their offering. The return of the original cast was a plus with one exception. The worst part of the original was the "aunt Violet" character over played by Francis Fisher. Near the end of the first film we got rid of her. To my dismay she returned in this sequel to spoil things again. This story had enough conflict without her annoying trouble-making, and over playing the role. If Francis Fisher just had to be in this one she should have had no more than 3 lines max. It was more than obvious that in every scene with Cindy she tried to steal the show. The time saved by leaving her out could have better been spent on the romance itself. Ryan and Cindy are both great and have onscreen magic together. Our leads needed more "magic" like they had in the first one. Over all a good movie but it could have been a 10. my score 7

6.5 stars.

Well this is about as entertaining as a bucket of dirt. A bunch of hoity toity rich people in New York City slowly adapt to this lower class gal is going to marry their precious Darcy and be a part of the same family with a condescending matriarch. This is totally unrecognizable from the first installment of the two films. As a sequel it is literally in a different universe completely. The whole attitude from the first movie is gone. Now we are dealing with her personality changing, she transforms into a totally different person. He, on the other hand, is the same dry guy and yet he's also different. I don't see how two adults their age could change so drastically in appearance, personality, and everything that goes with it. This is not even a sequel in the usual sense, because nobody is the same are they? Maybe the first one was so forgettable I don't recall, and I don't care, just trying to get this review done for my own future review so I make sure not to watch this again. But it was better than the first.
