A Winter Wedding

Why is this called by a different title in Hulu??? It was cheesy. Typical hallmark type of film. I couldn't figure out who one of the woman were, it's the gay ex wife of Ross in friends; that was fun to see her again.

I may sound superficial. But this couple match just didn't do it for me. The bride and groom didn't look like a real couple at all. The chemistry just wasn't there, especially when it came the romantic scenes. It just seemed forced. The story didn't need to be told, the acting was over and under done, and once again the bride and groom didn't work as a couple for me. But I finished the movie anyways in hopes it would get better. All I can say is.... I wish I could get my 1hr 29min back.

And on top of everything this wasn't even a Christmas movie. I know it's called "A winter wedding". But they are pushing this movie as a Christmas movie.. which it is not! I definitely won't be watching this movie again.

This movie is not very good due to miscasting of the bride and groom. Also, the character of the bride's mother is awful. She needed to be put in her place much earlier in the story rather than continue to be a very negative and awful influence in the story line. Too much of the story line is take up by "making the mother happy" rather than what the couple's wishes are and what they want. I kept waiting for the daughter/bride to grow a spine but she never did before I turned it off. She was pathetic because she let her mother run over her and also for not supporting her fiance/. This movie was so bad I didn't finish watching it.

I love most Hallmark movies and I did enjoy watching this but not as much as I would have with different actors. The two main characters were not suited to each other at all. The male lead was far too handsome for Andrea Bowen who is a very pretty girl but no where near pretty enough to be matched with the male, I kept thinking, why is he with her and not with someone like her best friend. I also couldn't understand why anyone would think the two choices of wedding dress were nice in any way. They looked cheap- like a supermarket wedding dress. Definitely not a dress that someone who came from a rich family would wear. This was a big fail for the wardrobe department and they were also very on the lovely Andrea. I hated the mum character- she was horrible to everyone but loved the dance scene in the barn- it put a smile on my face. The other two parents had great chemistry and looked to be very much in love,

Nick Bateman Saves this movie.

Unfortunately this movie's plot is thin, focusing on one superficial aspect of planning a wedding. So the drama is very light. Dont expect life altering lessons from watching this movie.

However most of the actors do the best you could expect with the material. The main couple's chemistry is tame but then again it's a Hallmark movie not Showtime. Plus there's a secondary couple with a romanctic plotline too.

Ultimately, if you're looking for romantic escapism this will certainly do the trick because lead Nick Bateman is not just adorable but oozes charm. (Heart him!)
