Sì, lo voglio

This story is a little different, but it is still all over the place.

Charlotte is so neurotic that it makes me cringe. I struggle to see what James sees in her. This story isn't about a developing relationship. It is about a woman constantly embarrassing herself while trying to save a relationship.

I was sorry to see Jennifer Lowndes as the villain. She is controlling, possessive, selfish and downright mean, not to mention dishonest.

Hannah, the best friend, acts like a middle school girlfriend.

I didn't care for the acting of either Jen Lilly or Lowndes, but especially not Lilly. I wouldn't call what Lilly and Marcus Rosner had chemistry. Rosner is not one of my favorites (none of the three are), but I thought he did this role well.

Basically this movie made me cringe too much to enjoy.

This was listed under "most popular" on Hallmark. Now, I don't need much excitement, I just need a storyline that makes sense and I need the characters to do things that make sense. I thought it was funny, the other reviewer said she or he could not make it to the end of the movie because I couldn't either. It was excruciating. I find some good things on Hallmark. I watch it because it's refreshing. I don't want to see violence or cursing so I like Hallmark movies. But, some of these movies....I don't know what they're thinking. It's like these directors get together and they're bored and they're like, hey who wants to make a movie today? Let's get some of our regular actors together and blow some money. 🤔

Wedding-phobic Charlotte Bennett (Jen Lilley) does the runaway bride thing twice. She gains some success as a chocolatier. Her groom-to-be James Cooper gives up on another attempt and cancels their upcoming wedding. She decides to secretly organize it herself. She has an interview with an important chocolate magazine's Nicole Sweeney (Jessica Lowndes) who is selecting America's top chocolatier. It turns out that Nicole is James' the-one-who-got-away.

Why not just elope? Just go to city hall. The premise of this Hallmark romance is a little light. It could still work. I don't think the lead has the comedic chops to pull this off although she's nice enough. Lowndes' looks is a little shocking. She seems to have done one too many surgeries. It's probably the movie's intention to make her look high maintenance to take on the villain role. I can see this being reworked to be a much better rom-com. As it stands, it's an average Hallmark at best.

Charlotte (Jen Lilley) leaves her fiancé waiting at the church, standing in the lurch, because of her over-powering fear of making a commitment. In fact, she does it twice to the same guy, James (Marcus Rosner). He still loves her, but he's afraid to believe she won't leave him at the altar a third time, though she says she won't.

Still, she can't even talk about wedding-related things without feeling the itchy stirrings of that phobia for which she has no explanation.

As she plans for a third assault of the citadel of James's bachelorhood, Nicole (Jessica Lowndes)---a former sweetheart of James'---walks into the picture to complicate things.

The plot of this Hallmark film is a little difficult to swallow. James is certainly forgiving, considering the heartaches and complications that Charlotte has provided him. Not to mention the embarrassment. And the film too easily dispenses with the realistic solution that is elopement (you could have a formal ceremony afterwards.)

The actors are fine in their performances. And I found myself enjoying the musical score a few times. But this is not one of Hallmark's best.

Yes it was silly but that's what made it easy to watch.
