Unthinkably Good Things

I really hope they make a series of movies. It was funny and charming and of course it had Lance in it so add extra stars for that! I would love to see what happens next for all of the characters in the movie. The setting was Italy and that made it even more enjoyable to watch. I wouldn't listen to the haters, my only wish is that it were a 4 part series like they do other Hallmark movies. About 4 movies a year would be nice. I don't think I would tire of seeing Lance Gross and Luca Seta. Teri Vaughn did a great job setting things up for a series of films. We can only hope there's more stories to tell.

So - I've reviewed this a couple of times - and my review never gets posted.

I wanted to like this movie. The concept seemed fun. All about friendship - longterm friendships. Trusting each other. Having fun together ... sounds fun!

Well - in some respects it was. The friendships were genuine. The problems friends have were real. The resolutions - a little farfetched ... but acceptable.

I felt there was WAY too much stuff going on. Trying to follow what was going on with each was confusing. (The Wedding Veil trilogy did it better - focusing on one friend at a time - but still playing on the friendships.) I was having trouble following what each of the women were involved doing and if/how it affected the other friends.

Also - seemed more suited to BET than Hallmark. Just my opinion ...

I think they couldn't get Simone Missick of All Rise! A powerful figure of a female judge would be a powerful woman anywhere.

When that happens, casting is told to find someone like' that person. Then voilà! The viewer thinks of Miss Missick through-out the entire movie though she is not hired in it, psychologically she's in it. It can stunt the capabilities of the other actresses to perform their jobs well...they pull it off anywhere!

Good try but could be better. Rom Coms have a common sweet, often sticky sweet templates like shoe sizes that are so predictable though it's nice to be in Italy.

How refreshing to see these lovely, beautiful Black women depict a strong bond and sisterhood.

We don't always want to see trauma, severe pain and social woes (although there's importance in telling the stories as well -and they are needed). A balance of seeing the sweet side of life is also imperative and inspiring.

Loved all the ladies and was immediately impressed by Karen Pittman! Who IS this woman?!?You can see her depth.

Erica ash's comedic talent comes through; Joyful Drakes sweetness is clearly evident through the character she portrays.

The scenery, fashion, setting was a pallet refresh!

I was there with them and enjoyed the journey.

Id love to see more films like this; depicting our beautiful Black women!

I really enjoyed this movie. It had a warm feel about life and the importance of having good friends (girlfriend) in your life to support you through life's trials and tribulations. It touch on infertility issues, cancer illness, relationship ups and down and new career starts as well as exploring life in a new country. Great acting and story line and the Jill Scott song, Golden, was the perfect song for this movie.

I especially enjoyed and appreciated that the women were professional women already established in life but each going through different things. It was a down to earth, real life movie. 👍
