Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

skippymagrue My brother gave me a compilation of the classic romance comics from the middle of the 20th century. There are three plot themes from these comics. #1: Overbearing husband wants the perfect trophy wife and makes her feel like a looser when she tries to think. #2: The wife feels like she has to compete with other women for her clueless husband's attention because of the evil designing woman trying to steal him. #3: The husband and the apron strings that were never cut. I think someone was reading them when they came up with the plot for this movie.

Amy Adler Erin, Casey and Stella all decided on a June wedding so these gals are newly weds three times over. But, alas, problems arrive. Casey, who owns a dog care business and lives in the apartment right below, experiences woe when a former flame of her new hubby's applies for the job as his assistant. She gets it, ugh. Naturally, the husband doesn't see a problem. Stella, alas, discovers her mate is one domineering guy. Yes, he's wealthy and successful, so Stella had a secure feeling, but he soon resists her accepting a terrific job for herself, saying she doesn't need to work. Meanwhile, Dr. Erin has the difficult mother in law of all mothers in law, Renee (Naomi Judd) move in with her and her handsome husband. What results is no privacy, no peace. Into these situations comes an even greater curveball. It appears the minister who conducted all of their ceremonies passed away before he could sign the marriage certificates. NONE of them are truly married in the eye of the law. The gals learn this information and wait to tell their partners, for all of them are now having second thoughts about their futures together. Will these folks all walk down the aisle again in a month or so? This fun film has one attractive, talented cast although none of the stars is famous, except Judd, who is a hoot and a half as the domineering mama. Also quite gorgeous are the costumes, sets, and makeup jobs. Add on a clever script and a fine direction and the end game is a nice rom-com for all dedicated fans and even those who aren't.

rebekahrox This Hallmark movie had no characters worth rooting for. All 3 of the husbands were class "A" stupid jerks. All of their better halves could have done so much better considering their beauty, overall niceness, and successful careers. But they still settled for their men with one (thank-God) exception with a minimum of grovelling on their part. Naomi Judd (why do women who aspire to be actresses freeze their faces?) is a truly evil pervert and her husband, oops, son, is so in her thrall and so weak and naive that words fail. She literally almost murders her daughter-in-law, a doctor, by the way, and all is forgiven after a not very believable apology. The solution to their little problem is that the couple pay her to move out of the house she should not have been in to begin with. Stupid girl #2 makes a fool out of herself longing for and stalking a husband who hires as his secretary his ex-high school sweetheart, "his first love," he tells her, who tortured and bullied his new (very cute) wife when they were teenagers. And he has the gall to leave her when she dares to call him on it. Our heroine #3, actually does not take her psychotically controlling male chauvinist future wife abuser back, even though he begs her (quite satisfyingly). She would have been OK had it not been for her devotion to her very irritating dog, causing a modicum of sympathy for the husband. It is hard to enjoy a movie when 5 out of 6 protagonists is worthy of nothing but contempt.

edwagreen While the theme of the movie regarding 3 friends who marry and then discover that the required paper work was never finished, yes, we've seen this theme before. What makes this movie so good? Usually, everything ends well after spats and all reconcile their differences. This was not to be the case in one of the marriages and although it's heartbreaking, it's dealt with realistically.That being said, we have a fine movie here showcasing the girlfriend from before who suddenly appears and the traditional overbearing mother-in-law.Sometimes opportunities present themselves so that remarriage is not possible. As stated, this happened in one of the cases and it was refreshing to see something different along a traditional theme.
