Sisters of the Groom

The central story of Sarah and Jason is cute, and well done to the extent there was room for it. Trouble is there is a lot else going on from Jason and his dad, to Molly and her ex along with the couple arguing over adopting a baby. Along with all the story threads, there are a lot characters to keep track of. The movie jumps around a lot with a lot of very short scenes.

Sarah is easy going and likeable. The rival story thread with Cassie annoyed me since she seemed more intent on being mean to Sarah than in winning Jason. The sisters unintentionally enabled her plotting. If you like mean girls, Cassie is up your alley.

Jeremy Sumpter and Melise have chemistry. The story settles down a little in the second half. It develops some believable tension between Sarah and Jason.

THis Pixl rom com is similar to the usual Hallmark rom com but different in a few ways. Weddings and caterings are familiar themes. The difference is there seem to be several parallel romances that confuse a little. The cast is quite attractive and watchable. Malese Jow of Vampire Diaries and Savannah Jayde look like they could be sisters. Good casting choice.

OK for one watch.

I gotta say I'm surprised at how much I really enjoyed this movie. It was great from start to finish. I love everything, from the main couple, Sarah and Jason to all the songs that were played throughout the movie. I also loved how there was a good balance to focus not only on Sarah and Jason, but the two other couples in the movie. It was a perfect balance. One of Jason's sisters having problems with her husband as they try and adopt a baby while Sarah's sister, Molly begins to rekindle an old relationship as she works together with her ex boyfriend. All the characters got equal screen-time, development and focus, making it even better. I also enjoyed the other side plots like Jason wanting to pursue his true passion to become an outdoor architect, the struggles of adoption and challenging yourself. I will admit I was expecting the sisters to try and meddle more regarding Jason and Sarah's relationship, but I'm really glad they eventually see through their errors and accept their relationship.

Overall, this was a really great movie.

I liked that there were several storylines going on at once. Really did not find it that hard to follow. To me having several storylines keeps that movie more interesting and moves it along much faster. My problem with Hallmark movies and especially the Hallmark Christmas movies is they have one central storyline that always follows the same theme and you might as well fast forward to the end because you know exactly where it's going. That type of storyline I find monotonous and boring. I find that most UPTV (at least the ones that came from Pixel) movies having several storylines.

The background music did not bother me too much, but I agree it could have been toned down to make the dialogue more understandable. I have searched all over the web for the title to the song that was played when Molly and Ben were together in her catering kitchen and Ben was looking at the yellow sheet of paper. Some of the lyrics were "All my life I've been searching for somebody like you, now you're gone and I'm praying that just can't be true". Does anyone know the title of the song and the artist?

First - let me say that this WAS a cute movie, but could have been SO MUCH MORE. The title is a little misleading. The only thing about the 'sisters of the groom' is that they play matchmakers. The more prominent sisters are Sarah and Molly. The story is more about the brother of the groom and his need for a date(because of his matchmaking sisters); there is a small storyline for one sister that just seems forced in - for really no reason. And why show what is going on in her life but not in the other sister's? Like I said - it was cute (and it is ALWAYS nice to see Greg Evigan!!).
