I Do, I Do, I Do

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?

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.

Its 2023 now. I'm watching it for the second time in the hope I've become less cynical . I havent. I first watched it one Sunday 8 years ago with my husband and 11 year old mildly autistic youngest son. My husband and I thought it was rubbish , our son liked it. Which was nice . But for me the acting is over the top, the concept ridiculous and makes you yawning wonder, if you're that bored, what happens in the future ? . Still the same old mother in law to deal with, and probably she wont be Impressed at the son swap. If you have young kids and nothing better to do on a rainy or snowy day give it a go. If you're in your 50's and intelligent turn if off and watch almost anything else. Sorry. Zzzzzzzz.

It is definitely a different spin on the regular Hallmark fare, but it is definitely a "keeper". I even would buy the DVD for this one!

It didn't start off that great, I found Max too much like a "player" at first. But the movie started to get much better 1/4 of the way into it. It was a refreshingly honest movie about what not to do when getting married to someone one barely even knows (I've been there). This movie really spoke to me unlike a lot of other Hallmark movies that have no deeper meaning behind the gloss. I highly recommend this one especially to anyone who has married the wrong person due to lack of getting to know them well prior to going down the aisle.

If you are considering watching this movie, then you know what to expect. It is a Hallmark romance. You know the plot. The timing of the first kiss, but do pay attention for the timing in this movie. You don't need me telling you more than the storyline tells already. You want to know whether you should watch it?

The time anomaly angle gives the story a new angle for the writers to pursue. Interesting enough and the few repeated scenes where the continuity is messed up aren't that disturbing and are largely missed. Nice message about taking risks in life. I would have given it a 5.7 and not just a 5, but it was either a 5 or a 6 and nothing in between. Watch it once!
