One Perfect Wedding

'One Perfect Wedding', or 'Our Winter Wedding', is the third film of the 'Our Winter' series. Of the three, 'Our Winter Proposal' (the second) was by far the best for me. Was not a fan of 'Our Winter Weekend', though it did do some things very well, but 'Our Winter Proposal' was pretty good and improved in some areas (for instance Taylor Cole). Was not that excited for 'One Perfect Wedding', despite being about the wedding there was the worry about it feeling like a sequel too far.

That unfortunately was the feeling that was gotten watching 'One Perfect Wedding'. Do absolutely agree with those saying that it is the worst of the three, by quite some way, and don't have much to add to the reasons as to why. As far as the 2021 Hallmark films go, 'One Perfect Wedding' is one of the weaker ones. And one of the weakest, maybe even the weakest, of the 2021 Spring Fling films. The previous two 2021 Spring Fling films were far from perfect, but with the vast amount of things that goes wrong here this film makes 'Chasing Waterfalls' and 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' seem like masterpieces in comparison.

Are there good things? Yes. The best actor is Rukiya Bernard, which was true of the previous two films as well. She is on sparkling form and generates a warmth that the rest of the film badly lacks. Jack Turner also doesn't come over too badly, though his role seemed underwritten.

Best of all though is the scenery, which is stunning and beautifully shot.

However, a lot is wrong. Taylor Cole acts like too much of a cold ice queen and there is no chemistry between her and Turner. Tedra Rogers irritates as her character, one that is completely unnecessary to the story and probably was just there to fill in for Sean. The chemistry with everyone is too disconnected and only Bernard's character is likeable. The others suffer from being bland and from the character flaws being overdone. Absolutely agree that the suspicion was irrational and overused.

Furthermore, the script is stilted and feels both forced and too thick on the schmaltz. The story is paper thin and predictable, but it also feels like it was made and written in a rush. With too many events moving too unrealistically fast and rash near senseless decisions being made too quickly and in a contrived way (i.e. One of the cheesiest ways of proposing to someone to ever happen in a film in recent memory). The direction is routine at best and the music is neither memorable or particularly fitting.

Summing up, pretty weak. 3/10.

Considering the importance of the story series,how about give him a hair piece?

The overall feel of having the wedding where they met,just didn't have romantic vibes.

Felt like she was getting married to a man,who was having health issues.

Was hoping for something grander,that would compliment previous two movies.

Casting,overall acting,cinematography was ok.

Still.. Worth checking out!

Cara and Ben decide to get married before their schedules takes them to Europe and Asia respectively. Of course, they choose to marry where they first met.

We were expecting this movie to go in that direction, being the final one (probably) but weird things happened: one the leads wasn't there, the locations changed, our main lead didn't have hair and new characters showed up. Personally, I can excuse a few of things, because, you know, COVID, and the world is changing constantly, but all of these together? It's like I was watching a whole different movie. They probably should have waited a little bit longer.

I have been looking forward to this movie and was excited (OWW is one of my favorites), but if it doesn't stay true to the other two, (which I loved) what's the point? Someone who didn't watch the previous two could have watched this without problems and that's the issue here.

We all know Taylor and Jack have good chemistry but that wasn't enough to save this one. Unfortunately, this was disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it because I already fell connected to these characters, specially Cara and Ben but it wasn't enough.

Storywise: another fail. These two are getting married and are suspicious/keeping secrets? They could have used so many plots but they chose one of the worst (a third party being the worst idea EVER).

Anyway, this is the worst of the trilogy. It hurts to say that because One Winter Weekend is one of my favorites of Hallmark. HOWEVER, if they decide to make another one, I will probably watch it.

Until first male lead, Jack Turner, had hair, second male lead, Dewshane Williams, was personally available and they had a stronger plot.

Came away feeling "things" happened just before filming and the powers that be decided to go ahead anyway because Hallmark is a movie machine with a limited production schedule and the clock was ticking.

Disappointing sequel.

I liked the movie. However, I felt Shaun's absence left a void in the movie. I would love to see the characters back for Shaun and Megan's wedding.
