I Do, I Do, I Do

I've watched this movie with my mom over and over again! Probably as many times as the day repeats! Love when it's playing on tv and will watch it any time of year. Beautiful background, great casting, and funny cute story. I enjoy that all the characters grow and realize what's best for each of them. It's a very simple premise and you don't need to think when watching. One thing is I can't figure out how she has a new outfit every day? Didn't she just pack for a weekend and yet have multiple outfits for different things to do? Even a swim suit? Or how she can order an orchestra online and arrive the day of? Quick service.

Despite really liking the 'Groundhog Day' premise and loving the film 'Groundhog Day', which handled the premise very creatively, that formula has since been done to death to varying success and generally with little of that film's uniqueness. Still watched 'I Do, I Do, I Do' anyway, despite not caring for the previous 2015 Countdown to Valentine's Day film 'A Wish Come True', having liked Ali Liebert and especially Autumn Reeser in other things. And because 2015 had some good films before and since 'I Do, I Do, I Do'.

While not great or flawless, 'I Do, I Do, I Do' is still a solid entry in the generally pretty good 2015 Countdown to Valentine's Day block ('All of My Heart' being particularly good), the only disappointments being 'Just Say Yes' and especially 'A Wish Come True'. It may not be one of the best 2015 Hallmark films, but it is charming and fun to watch and a good representation of Reeser and Liebert. So this reviewer definitely recommends it, while not quite raving.

Maybe it could have done with more variety in the repeated relivings, structurally it was a little repetitive at times.

Like a lot of Hallmark films, the music is too loud, could have been used less and like the story structure could have had more variety and not felt too much like hearing the same thing or similar. The ending is a little too neat.

However, Reeser is very charming with a character that is easy to like and identify with. Liebert brings plenty of charm and zest to her role too and the chemistry is warm and natural. Reeser also has sweet chemistry with subtly charismatic and down to earth Shawn Roberts, his character isn't as meaty but he is a long way from being a blank. The characters are not complex, but they are also not too much like ciphers or too cliched. They are also not too perfect or have exaggerated character flaws, and this is a premise where the latter was a danger, having seen it happen in other films with the formula.

Furthermore, the scenery is beautiful to look at and the camera was clearly in love with it. It is very nicely shot, not static or self indulgent. The script has a natural flow, and has fun playfulness and some depth while not getting too cheesy, too sentimental or having contrived conflicts. Despite being repetitive at times, the story goes at a lively clip and is light hearted and heart warming, with no mean spirited-ness.

Concluding, nicely done though flawed. 7/10.

I wish I could give this movie 5 stars for its first third and 10 for the other two. Why do so many Hallmark movies start off so bad just to become great after the point in which a lot of viewers most likely stopped watching it?

You can read my review on the movie "It was always you", it applies to the first part of this movie just as well since the two are practically identical. Then it takes a turn for the best and becomes both legitimately funny and legitimately cute and romantic, unlike a lot of movies labeled as "comedy/romance" in which the comedy is just silly and cringeworthy farfetched dialogs and the romance is the two leads deciding they want to get together in the last minute before the ending.

This one, however, and despite the fact that the premise has the potential risk of falling into a boring and repetitive execution, manages to stay dynamic and entertaining adding continuity and uniqueness to each of the same day she relives.

I liked to see fantasy being used outside Christmas. There's still a little bit of cringe though, like when she relives the wedding for the first time she acts fully aware of the time loop mechanics for some reason while she freaks out the next time, but what kind of made-for-TV rom-com would it be without a little bit of cringe, right?

I do, I do, I do, love this fun movie! Autumn Reeser experiences her own type of Groundhog Day on her wedding day. She is adorable and her chemistry with Shawn Roberts is perfect. This is one of my favorites that I watch often and highly recommend!

Delightful movie, some great lines, and perfect chemistry between Autumn Reeser and (hunk) Shawn Roberts. Reeser's skilled comedic timing and Roberts' playfulness keep the story moving.

The supporting performances aren't as successful (they tend to overact and hit us over the head with their eccentricity). In other words, they don't quite live up to the honesty and authenticity of the two leads.

The storyline may not be original, but the way it's executed is really hilarious thanks to Reeser's comedic abilities. The way she uses her knowledge of the future to resolve past situations is absolutely charming and creates some laugh-out-loud moments.

Mostly, the two principles are so good in their roles, that any shortcomings are easily overlooked.
