From Friend to Fiancé

This one was terrible and truly unbelievable. How, oh how, can two of the bestest of best friends be such best friends that one can be in a relationship long enough to propose - while the other has no clue what's going on? No idea! What? No. That was just one of the many puzzling choices that went into this movie. Besides a major lack of chemistry and intimacy that would be between two of the bestest of friends who each secretly loved the other. There are better, so, take a pass on this one.

My husband and I watch nearly every Hallmark movie and some are definitely better than others. We thought this one was refreshing mainly due to the acting of Jocelyn Hudon. She played her part very well and it was nice to see a relatively new face. We hope she becomes one of the regulars.

The cast was good, the acting was great, slightly weak story, improbable, but enjoyable.

It is a decent film for family viewing.

My advice - watch this movie, just don't overthink it.

I don't like the June Weddings theme and everything related to it, but decided to give this a chance because Jocelyn Hudon is a new face and we'll get to see her soon in the new When Calls the Heart spin off, so...

I didn't love this exactly, it was a different plot. I loved the idea that the main characters were best friends, but some things are just not believable. How did he get engaged and she didn't even know he was dating? Seriously... too much soap opera for me. Kimberly's minions? Come on, Hallmark you can do better.

I personally really liked Jocelyn. I'm getting tired of the same 2 or 3 actresses having ONE movie PER SEASON (and by season I mean, Christmas, June Weddings, Summer, Valentine's etc. Jen Lilley, Danica and Lacey, i'm looking at you). I didn't hate Ryan Paevey but his character was "meh", he was not interesting, at all.

I did get me in one part. The fact that she was willing to let him go... it killed me. And there were some meme worthy times too.

So, I don't get why the reviews are SO negative. This is still Hallmark, you can expect believable and trashy scripts, but it wasn't neither that bad of some award-winning performances.

Surprising is to not can be very critic about this Hallmark film. In my case, the main virtue of it remains the tree house .And the cake. And the realistic story of friendship, preserving the scent of memories from childhood. The second good point is the fine chemistry between Jocelyn Hudon and Ryan Paevey. Not the last, the nice job of charming Derek McGrath. And , sure, the way to reflect the motives of the relation between main characters.

It is a beautiful film for emotion , first.

So, just a very good surprise.
