Eine Hochzeit an Weihnachten

Premise is fun ... but hiring people who can actually act should be high on the list. Most of the people in this movie seened to be reciting their lines - and are totally unbelievable. The woman playing Haley is horrible - and her character is very immature-and we're supposed to believe she's the best wedding planner to the stars? Um --- absolutely not. Does she not understand it's a small town AND it's a last minute Christmas Eve wedding? SHEESH. Ion - stick with your reruns --- they are far more enjoyable.

This movie had a lot wrong with it. Probably the most glaring problem was that the Christine Prosperi's acting + a sub-par script. I haven't seen any of Christine's other work but for _this_ movie she wasn't able to carry the role. The worst actor in the movie shouldn't be the lead. I broke out laughing at her "fake typing" skills. I can understand someone faking an instrument that they don't know but the fake typing was bad. The movie cuts corners in a lot of ways. You'd just have to watch to see...or just skip it.

The plot and storyline are a great idea especially for a romantic drama. But, there are some serious problems. The main character is very much miscast; Prosperi seems more high school than a successful wedding planner and her intermittent giggling is foolish; she is not a believable character at all. And her character's snide remarks, dismissive attitude, and condescending dialogue is a definite minus for this movie. The setting consistency is off; the weather is supposed to be in the teens with a huge "snow storm" coming but the scenery looks like late spring in southern Cali complete with green trees, birds chirping, and pink flower blooms (bad directing). Just thoroughly not enjoyable and I quickly lost interest even though I watched the whole thing with a lemon face.

It's ok to have the movie play in the background while doing other things. The story was below average. The leading guy was ok, but the leading lady could use several acting classes. She seemed somewhat fake to me; I was like watching an instagram person, not a real one.

This character is so petty you don't feel any empathy for her. She's annoying, arrogant and during the entire movie I was hoping another lead female character would step in and kick her out of town. I'm not sure who wrote her but she's not likeable.

Then there's the lead character who is so nice but we have no idea why he is in love with this woman who is everything he left the big city for.

Haley's boyfriend is just a cliche of a character. And so is Vivica Fox's character...total cliches and boring characters.

And how the heck does a person die by "running out of gas"?

What an annoying movie. Not really worth a second watch.
