(I will preface this review by saying, I am the epitome of the target audience for this type of movie. I'm an absolute sucker for made-for-tv rom coms, and I've watched hundreds upon hundreds of them. Seriously, I have a list.)
The writing in this movie is, in a word, atrocious...
Shortly into watching, you are introduced to the "Bridal Boot Camp". The theme: If you don't conform to the 1950's stereotype of the "perfect" wife, you suck, your marriage will suck, and your husband won't love you. Yep, you read that right. Seriously, I'm not kidding.
The "instructor" starts off with the cliche of insulting all the participants, and then proceeds to give a set of rules which may have well been titled "How to set gender equality back 60 years". And she's actually serious about them, it's not written as a joke. Any self respecting woman who wasn't born 4 generations ago not just walking out of the class at this point defies belief, but yet...
I made it through the second segment of the "Boot Camp" (which was just more of the same message), about 30 minutes in, before actually turning the movie off. Perhaps only the second or third time I've ever done that in my 500+ history of rom-coms. It's among the worst writing I've ever seen in a rom-com.
If you want to see women desperate to learn from an instructor trying to mold them into Donna Reed while treating them like crap, then this movie is for you! If not, then avoidance is suggested.
