My Best Friend's Bouquet

One of those lovely Hallmark films that sneak up on you and suck you in with its charm and humour.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, I thought it was well played and had some lovely moments.

The story was OK but the female lead was so subdued, she came off as over medicated, no energy or emotion. The issue was highlighted by the good job the rest of the cast did. Prepare to be lulled

Unfortunately got bored early on,but stuck it out! Seen the lead in other things,haven't been too impressed. Didn't have much Autumn feel,more like Summer-wedding season.

Plus! Enjoyed seeing other actors in this,versus typical choices.

This movie didn't make my list,of ones to remember for watching again. Before deciding based on my review,see it & judge yourself.

Josie and Alex are friends, they've known each other since college. Josie doesn't know Alex is in love with her. One of their mutual friends is getting married. Josie has a hobby which is creating wedding bouquets, and the family legend says the bouquet "knows its way". (kind of stupid if you ask me, but this is still Hallmark)

There a lot of things I liked about this. Firstly, the diverse cast. Well done, Hallmark. Keep the diversity coming! Secondly, new actors, new faces, which is very refreshing. Decent acting, good chemistry between the whole group. Different jobs for the characters, which may be a small detail but they always have the same boring jobs. While the plot is nothing we don't know already, it was a different pace, you don't expect a wedding at the beginning of the movie.

However, it was very slow at times, and I kept being distracted by my phone, forcing myself to come back so as not to miss anything. While I was expecting a time jump for the final scene, the confession scene was very anticlimatic...

Not a winner, won't rewatch it, but may be worth a watch for all of you who enjoy these movies. I feel like giving this a 6 now, may change later, I am unsure of how to rate it.

Love the movie. Love the diverse cast even more. Great job on this one Hallmark!! Keep it up. :)
