Il velo nuziale - L'eredità

This was a cute idea for a trilogy with a magical wedding veil bringing love to it's owners. The first movie was pleasant enough, although Lacey Chabert is over used in the Hallmark movies. I loved the 2nd one with the always sweet Autumn Reeser.. But this third and last instalment was not quite as good as I had hoped. I like Alison and Victor and have enjoyed them in many of their other roles. And their connection seemed real enough. But the story was rather contrived with so many coincidences. We finally find out about the history of the veil but again, just not really believable. Everything was tied up in a neat bow. Still, it's an enjoyable series and I would like to see more trilogies, as you do get drawn into the interconnecting stories and the development of the characters and their relationships.

This movie was entertaining and funny from the start. Alison Sweeney and Victor Webster were really good together. The entire cast did a great job.

I watched all 3 of these and this one was the best. I'll watch this one again.

7.2 stars.

What Hallmark has done with the Veil movies is obvious to me now. I didn't quite see it at first, but it's a marketing ploy to crank out a bunch of films based on a mysterious veil. This third installment is totally different than the first two, actually none of them are similar. They each have vastly different plots, different writing styles, acting styles, dialogue, and pacing. Each movie could be a standalone from the others and it would make no difference. The only links are the three women and a talisman of love.

"Legacy" is about the same as the first film for entertainment value and flow, but it sorely lacks romance. I enjoyed it for the museum, art, and the Italian family. The lead female's assistant was fun too. The production value is obviously very high, and that usually makes for a great Hallmark film. It lacks the romance, history, and mystery of the first two films. Chabert and her guy seemed more in tune with the younger audiences, whereas this film is so different, more for a 40+ age group, and yet these women are supposedly the same age. The male lead in this seems much older than she.

At the end when she is feeling remorse for shunning him a bit too hastily, her performance is contrived and devalues the scene. I'll let it slide for now, because I really like the potential of these veil stories. Fingers crossed for the fourth installment...

Ok, so I may have teared up when the credits rolled bc it means the trilogy is over. I've truly enjoyed seeing these women together, their friendships, and where the veil would take them. I've always been a fan of Sweeney and chabert. All three girls were a joy. Love women being supportive and uplifting to other women.

Just Hallmark showcasing the good in people. It's why I continue to subscribe to all Hallmark channels. It's full of joy and goodness and it's rare to see on tv anymore.

As the third episode of the trilogy begins, the women are more inclined to believe the legend: that the possessor of the veil will find true love. But Tracy (Alison Sweeney) is already dating someone.

He ships off to the west coast in no time, leaving our third girl open for business. She meets a charming man, Nick (Victor Webster) immediately and they begin the dance. He is a chef and she is in need of a catered affair. Also connecting them is a long-lost document with historical significance.

This episode brings the romance back to the States where, unfortunately, there is less magic. The two leads fit together well, but this final chapter does not live up to the Italian segment. And it's not just the locale; the writing lacks the energy of the other two. Still, it is satisfying to watch the summation of this three-part story arc.
