Le moment de s'aimer

This movie uses a lot of the common formula plot threads. TV host, Gwen gets dumped by her fiancé and a video of the breakup goes viral. She escapes to a small town for her best friend's wedding. She works closely with the best man, Josh, on wedding details. Career worries dog her time there. Brad is facing career choices as well. There are more such threads, but that gets close to spoilers.

I thought Andrea Brooks and Patch May had quiet chemistry. Tristan Shire was poor as Brad. The dialogue was average and maybe even flat at times. I got a good laugh out of the scene with the county clerk.

I was a little disappointed that the various directors took advantage of Andrea's more obvious features and her wardrobe in at least two scenes. Not quite dirty, but it was noticeable in those instances.

Based on the above, you might expect I didn't enjoy the movie. Yet I did enjoy it. I think Andrea Brooks, her character and personality, was mostly responsible for that. (Don't get me wrong. She is also easy on the eyes.)

Living in the present moment, beyond the need to always have a detailed plan, we need to assimilate this! And the relaxed and happy healthy smile of the bride? .... a breath of fresh and clean air is this film. One day we will be able to live like this in everyday reality.

This is a comfort chick flick with predictable plot and passable acting, elevated by beautiful scenery.

Every character is stereotypically nice. But what is a feel-good ROM-COM without its harmless tropes? Just kick back, suspend your belief, and enjoy this little gem!

This movie had all the potential to be a relaxing feel-good movie but the screenplay was lazy and the actors didn't have the chemistry to pull off a lacking script.

Without giving the ending away, I can tell you that it's a lazy one and very unrealistic. It felt like they just glued a couple of really quick demo clips at the end and called it a day.

The chemistry also falls flat. The leads aren't really given the opportunity to create that spark, that obvious undeniable romance the viewer feels when an on-screen romance just works and the chemisty is flying through the screen. As a result, this movie completely falls flat. I don't think there's anything wrong with the actors, they're of the reasonable quality I would expect from a tv romance movie, they just weren't handed the script and production quality to make this movie work.

In summary, it's a compilation of individual elements of the standard maid-of-honor romance movie but there is no sliver of that movie magic that can make an easy to watch, predictable movie work. This screenplay lacks so much effort that it prevents the cast from pulling off a very standard tv romance movie.

The actors are okay. But I was shocked to hear one of them say "tooken", which is NOT a word!!! Ask a second grader.

The idea that anyone who drives a boat can legally marry a couple is CRAZY!!! Even a Captain of a real ship is not authorized to perform a wedding just because he's the Captain. There were several other little things that should have been caught.
