I was not familiar with any of the actors or actresses so had no expectations on them beyond wanting a couple hours of resting my mind and body and watching a G rated rom/com.

Other than the lighting making the female lead looking washed out half the time, this story followed a fairly predictable course but was fun. The lead female character definitely had some emotional issues to work through, lol, but the formula works...nice movie if you just need to slip into neutral and just play along with the plot...

Yes it was silly but that's what made it easy to watch.

This was not one of Hallmark's finest. The movie begins with her leaving him at the altar twice and then she basically calls off the third and he's still head over heels with her... man, leave this woman already! Jessica Lowndes is the only redeemable part of this film because she plays the villain so well. I haven't finished it yet (though I'm sure we all know how it will end) but honestly both women are so manipulative that all I find myself rooting for is this guy to leave them both and start over elsewhere.

This was listed under "most popular" on Hallmark. Now, I don't need much excitement, I just need a storyline that makes sense and I need the characters to do things that make sense. I thought it was funny, the other reviewer said she or he could not make it to the end of the movie because I couldn't either. It was excruciating. I find some good things on Hallmark. I watch it because it's refreshing. I don't want to see violence or cursing so I like Hallmark movies. But, some of these movies....I don't know what they're thinking. It's like these directors get together and they're bored and they're like, hey who wants to make a movie today? Let's get some of our regular actors together and blow some money. 🤔

6.2 stars.

What are we supposed to do with a story as outlandish as "Yes, I Do"? I will not try to count the absurdities and list them here simply because I have nothing better to do, but I am required to meet the minimum number of words. I've run into a string of mundane and strange Hallmark films this week, and I think it's because they clump them together on purpose.

This is an odd story about a poor deranged woman who is unfortunately played by Jen Lilley who gets all of these crackpot female parts. I suppose she is very good at presenting a neurotic, unsympathetic sort of person. I'm sorry for that, but she is very pretty and quirky no matter who she represents, so I will always watch her films. The character is bonkers, she leaves her man standing at the alter not once, but twice, and it's all due to an anxiety disorder. I wish Hallmark didn't make light of these sorts of conditions, because they are real. Some people can be very psychologically challenged with over dramatization, and over thinking stuff. It's a disease, it requires treatment in many cases. Her character is no different. Let's not glamorize the whole thing by chuckling at our TV screens out of ignorance. It's called psychosomatic - look it up.

7.2 stars for Jen Lilley and 5.2 stars for the rest = 6.2 stars.

Expectations were not massively high. 2018 did see some good Hallmark films, but your expectations are dampened a bit if you are not a fan of some of the actors. Jessica Lowndes usually does not do much for me and Jen Lilley is wildly inconsistent dependent on her character. Have generally found Marc Rosner quite amiable though, so expectations were not completely low. Hallmark have done quite a number of decent and more films before and since, so there was hope.

'Yes I Do' didn't deliver sadly. Am not a fan of too many of the June Weddings films from Hallmark (with a small group of exceptions, as generally they tend to be more of the same plot wise and with very similar strengths and flaws), and 'Yes I Do' does nothing to change my mind. Hallmark did do a lot worse certainly, before and since, there have certainly been worse June Weddings films (in all the years that that that block has been occurring) but they also did a lot better on both counts.

The best thing about 'Yes I Do' is the easy going and charming performance of Rosner.

Also thought that the production values were good, with the scenery being particularly beautiful.

Having said all of that, 'Yes I Do' had a lot wrong in my view. Lilley is ill at ease and tries too hard, and also found her character too self absorbed and manipulative. Have seen a few good performances from Lowndes but also a lot of bad ones, and this is one of the one note wooden ones that is for me seen a lot from her. Didn't care for any of the characters, other than Rosner's to begin with but later on he began to dull and frustrate.

For me, the romantic chemistry was very underdeveloped and bland, nothing looking natural or genuine. The script is very stilted, especially Lilley's with so many incomplete sounding sentences that come over as gobbledegook. The story is very predictable, has very little charm, heart or lightness, is very forced in conflict and dragged out. Did find it too easily resolved and there is nothing distinctive about the direction. The music is also far too loud and constant.

In conclusion, weak. 3/10.

This story is a little different, but it is still all over the place.

Charlotte is so neurotic that it makes me cringe. I struggle to see what James sees in her. This story isn't about a developing relationship. It is about a woman constantly embarrassing herself while trying to save a relationship.

I was sorry to see Jennifer Lowndes as the villain. She is controlling, possessive, selfish and downright mean, not to mention dishonest.

Hannah, the best friend, acts like a middle school girlfriend.

I didn't care for the acting of either Jen Lilly or Lowndes, but especially not Lilly. I wouldn't call what Lilly and Marcus Rosner had chemistry. Rosner is not one of my favorites (none of the three are), but I thought he did this role well.

Basically this movie made me cringe too much to enjoy.

The script is a hot mess and feels more like something out of a soap opera than a Hallmark movie.

So Charlotte has left James at the altar twice. Any reasonable person would say that this is points to a massive issue in their relationship that will take time to address. The movie actually backs this up, because it shows us that James has trouble setting boundaries with Charlotte and that Charlotte has a fear of commitment. It also tells us that Charlotte's fear makes her so anxious she breaks into hives and feels faint. This is the point where Charlotte needs counselling, and where James and Charlotte need premarital counselling.

I asked the people watching with me, "Are we supposed to want them to get together?" multiple times. Even when I was rooting for the couple on an individual basis, the movie failed to convince me this relationship was a good idea.

While it's novel for a Hallmark movie to have a plot that couldn't be solved with one conversation, the movie also treats its central conflict like it's relatively inconsequential. The first act sets up this major conflict while the second and third act try to resolve that conflict by convincing us that the problem isn't that big of a deal (while still repeatedly referring back to it, and adding in a bunch of convoluted other things).

Major props to Jen Lilley. Lilley does everything she can to make Charlotte a likable everywoman who's in over her head. Unfortunately, she can't change the fact that the script makes Charlotte do really manipulative things (the rest of the actors similarly do their best with this script, I think they're all pretty solid).

How are they getting all of the wedding guests to come back? Why are their friends so supportive of this obviously dysfunctional relationship? How do they afford to have these multiple weddings? This movie is truly amazing.

Also, massive artistic licence when it comes to how allergies work, to the point of really really downplaying their severity (or maybe even reality). If it hadn't been so ridiculous I probably would have found it offensive.

tl;dr: Skip this unless you're in the mood for a hate watch.

Not sure why this is getting so many negative reviews. It's a typical Hallmark movie. It was quite cute and I enjoyed it. Didn't have to give it too much thought, was just able to sit back and enjoy it.

You have a woman in the leading role, completely immature, acting nervous and manipulative in all aspects of her life. A man with severe self esteem troubles accepts the psychological mistreatment that his girlfriend puts him through because he thinks he loves her. An egocentric and manipulative ex girlfriend that wants to win him back to put him through another kind of calvary. Could the man ever be able to realize that he needs therapy and end both relationships? Will the leading lady get somebody in her life that talks to her with the truth and gets her to see how immature and obnoxious she is while behaving like a little child? Will the ex girlfriend leave and search for a mature and capable man, so she can stop looking for a poppet? Will the leading lady's friends stop enabling her misbehaviour and quit fixing her mistakes? I don't know, I didn't get to the end because the movie is repulsive.

One of the worst Hallmark movies I have seen. Female lead character was a total ditz, self absorbed and inconsiderate . How her fiancé put up with all of her hurtful (and bizarre) behavior and kept coming back for more was ridiculous, and what a waste of money over and over. Many people can't afford even one wedding like the ones shown. Who the heck wrote this, they have no moral compass. Some of the better Hallmark actors starred in this and I can't believe they agreed to do this movie.

The female lead was severely irritating. She took too many sharp inhales to portray the delicate cute nature of the character. She made me wanna smack her up the head. I really couldn't watch to the end. Terrible dumb movie

This movie is terrible. The lead characters actions throughout this movie were unbelievable. It wasn't entertaining at all. It was a struggle to keep watching until the end, because I didn't care how or who ended up the clueless groom.

He should have told her to "tell her story walkin' "a long time ago. Fool.

Two pathetic and manipulating women and the guy who loved them. What does that say about him? Does he think things will improve once she says "I do"? I don't. Really good actors trying to make this sad story line believable. I've tried to watch it a couple times and still have to shut it off in disgust. Don't waste your time.

I really looked forward to this movie. Two great leading ladies (that can actually act), a great supporting cast, a good leading man,and what did we get? Disappointment. A story so lame it made no sense, and direction so bad it was almost impossible to watch. At 30 minutes in I wanted to turn it off, but I kept watching the ladies trying to bring it to life with their talent. It did not get any better. The promotional stills were more exciting than the movie. my score 1 because we have no zeros

In spite of some viewers' low ratings, I thought the film was charming. The rivalry with the former girlfriend gave the story some tension and the actors performed well. Good looking cast too!

Charlotte (Jen Lilley) leaves her fiancé waiting at the church, standing in the lurch, because of her over-powering fear of making a commitment. In fact, she does it twice to the same guy, James (Marcus Rosner). He still loves her, but he's afraid to believe she won't leave him at the altar a third time, though she says she won't.

Still, she can't even talk about wedding-related things without feeling the itchy stirrings of that phobia for which she has no explanation.

As she plans for a third assault of the citadel of James's bachelorhood, Nicole (Jessica Lowndes)---a former sweetheart of James'---walks into the picture to complicate things.

The plot of this Hallmark film is a little difficult to swallow. James is certainly forgiving, considering the heartaches and complications that Charlotte has provided him. Not to mention the embarrassment. And the film too easily dispenses with the realistic solution that is elopement (you could have a formal ceremony afterwards.)

The actors are fine in their performances. And I found myself enjoying the musical score a few times. But this is not one of Hallmark's best.

I tried, but never in a million years would this work. If I was braking into hives everytime I'm getting married then that's a sign, don't get married. If my best friend was braking into hives I would be telling her not to get married. If marrying him isn't the easiest thing you can do, he's not the one. Why force it? Weird storyline.

Wedding-phobic Charlotte Bennett (Jen Lilley) does the runaway bride thing twice. She gains some success as a chocolatier. Her groom-to-be James Cooper gives up on another attempt and cancels their upcoming wedding. She decides to secretly organize it herself. She has an interview with an important chocolate magazine's Nicole Sweeney (Jessica Lowndes) who is selecting America's top chocolatier. It turns out that Nicole is James' the-one-who-got-away.

Why not just elope? Just go to city hall. The premise of this Hallmark romance is a little light. It could still work. I don't think the lead has the comedic chops to pull this off although she's nice enough. Lowndes' looks is a little shocking. She seems to have done one too many surgeries. It's probably the movie's intention to make her look high maintenance to take on the villain role. I can see this being reworked to be a much better rom-com. As it stands, it's an average Hallmark at best.

Disclaimer: I am the consummate Jen Lilley fan.

I felt bad for Jen Lilley and the other actors/actresses. This movie was a flop not because of them but because of a poor script and story line. The premise of the story was a woman (Jen Lilley) who had twice left her fiance at the alter and was trying for the hat trick. I actually watched this movie twice, thinking maybe it was me because Lilley, in particular, is tailor made for these Hallmark Movies. Sadly, my 2nd viewing was no better. Surely, the writers can do better than this.
