Marrying Mr. Darcy

This is the first Hallmark sequel that has been worth watching. I have eagerly waited for this one with some degree of anxiety, and was somewhat pleased with their offering. The return of the original cast was a plus with one exception. The worst part of the original was the "aunt Violet" character over played by Francis Fisher. Near the end of the first film we got rid of her. To my dismay she returned in this sequel to spoil things again. This story had enough conflict without her annoying trouble-making, and over playing the role. If Francis Fisher just had to be in this one she should have had no more than 3 lines max. It was more than obvious that in every scene with Cindy she tried to steal the show. The time saved by leaving her out could have better been spent on the romance itself. Ryan and Cindy are both great and have onscreen magic together. Our leads needed more "magic" like they had in the first one. Over all a good movie but it could have been a 10. my score 7

I liked the content of this movie. Worth watching. Better then most. Ryan Paevey is a good actor, believable. It would have been better if Cindy busby wasn't in it. She forces her acting, stiff not relaxed.

I knew from the beginning that this was going to be a dud. There was no romance at all but drama and silly drama! I could barely get through it.

When I saw the first film I thought it was decent and good, but after watching the sequel I can honestly say I much prefer this film compared to the first film. Elizabeth and Donovan have a much better relationship and although there were still a few bumps, their love and relationship grew more stronger because of it. Aunt Violet is back and it was so annoying and wrong of her to take complete control over the wedding. In the end though, Elizabeth and Donovan got married in exactly the kind of wedding Elizabeth first imagined and in the end they finally get their long awaited happily ever after.

Ryan Paevey is, maybe, one of the good motives to see this film. And his aunt. But, for many reasons, it seems not exactly enough. Maybe, being myself bachelor or seeing too many weddings preparation films ,I am not exactly entusiastic about it. But it has a poor story the expected chemistry is missing, the busy Darcy is forced and the stubborn bride is terrible. The dog and mister Paevey , for their presence are reasonable solutions for a story to superficial . So, the expected Hallmark. With the old solutions , nice dogs and some presumed twists.

Is it nice ? Maybe. It can be definesc as reasonable. And that is all.
