... View MoreMy 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.
... View MoreThis Hallmark film starts out brightly when the priest speaks to the camera but once he collapses it rapidly descends downhill.Erin, Casey and Stella all decided on a June wedding so these gals are newlyweds but it seems that the minister who conducted all of their ceremonies passed away before he could sign the marriage certificates. They will have to go through a ceremony again but some of them might have second thoughts after the first few weeks of marriage.Casey gets upset when an ex-girlfriend gets a job working for her new husband. Erin a doctor finds that her mother in law is pushy and resents her for taking her son away. Stella has a rich but domineering husband who does not want her to have a career.The film is derivative, fails poorly as a rom-com. The husbands are so bad you wonder why these ladies married them in the first place.
... View MoreThree newly married women discover they are not actually married in this 2013 Hallmark Channel movie.The same gimmick was used in a minor comedy in 1952, WE'RE NOT MARRIED and its appearance here is also a gimmick, permitting the makers to hold the sanctity of marriage at risk without using the ugly word "Divorce". The point here is laid out in the prologue: do you want a marriage or just a wedding? Although the focus is on the women, the serious point underlying this movie is that couples must talk and reach agreement.Although the situations are sitcom material -- one has an evil mother in law, another has her old high school tormentor and ex-girlfriend of her husband working for him and the third has gotten a dog and he wants a baby -- all the actors are good looking and very competent. I wouldn't go looking for this one, but if you find yourself looking at it, you should stick until the end.
... View MoreGood acting, good cinematography, and good direction cannot save a boring screen play. During the first 85 minutes I wondered to myself several times whether it was worth it to continue watching. The only thing that kept me from turning off the TV was a made-up game I created, where I tried to guess the outcome.I did enjoy the interactions between the three almost married couples, and the interactions between the three girl friends.The three things that most detracted from the story were: 1) The dog. 2) The mother-in-law. 3) The ex-girlfriend. As written, these three characters were over-the-top to the point of being painful.
