I love being surprised by movies! After viewing and studying movies for too many years to mention, I enjoyed the dynamic between the big event and the big debt. It was very fun to see the pros and cons played out. Fun movie!

OMG! I haven't seen a movie that is absolutely terrible in my life. Don't don't don't waste your time.

Oy! It's just too realistic! Love her as an actress but he should stick to action movies. 👎

I had to watch this through several days. Save yourself going through it all for the most ridiculous ending ever.

Normally a movie this bad doesn't deserve a review, but maybe I can save future people some time and tell you not to bother. Let's be honest, most romantic comedies aren't exactly realistic but they're still enjoyable and most of us have a little part inside that hopes we will have our own fairy tale someday. This. Was. Ridiculous. I still don't understand how the ending helped anyone, and I still don't understand what in the world the male lead could have seen in Libby. Skip this, unless you want to see an over-the-top ending that makes zero sense.

I usually enjoy a good amount of Hallmark movies, even though they're not amazing, but this one was the worst movie I've ever seen! It made absolutely no sense and was just bizarre! The person that wrote this movie had to have been inebriated.

Libby Boland (Alexa PenaVega) is a hard-working wedding planner starting up with her assistant Michelle. She meets Ben Reynolds (Shawn Roberts) at a wedding convention and sparks fly. He's a writer and he's promoting his first book, 'Wedding Day Do's and Don'ts'. To her horror, his book advocates for cheap unadorned weddings. This is Hallmark doing a Hallmark movie. Of course, Libby is a wedding planner. The guy is so clueless that he doesn't get why she's mad. He's literally destroying her business and doesn't know why she's not head over heels over him. It would be so much better if he doesn't do the puppy dog face and go full antagonist. He comes off as dumb which his character is definitely not. It's not endearing to her and it's very frustrating. He needs to understand her point of view or else he comes off as a bad match. That's the crux of this movie. They need to be a good match but the movie does nothing other than they're relatively photogenic. She's no catch either in her superiority. Neither are appealing and they only match as infuriating characters. There is a way to do this but this movie has no clue getting there.

What more can I say? I just can't believe this movie got produced and nowhere along the line nobody said "you know what... This is a pile of crap. Let's just not." The best part of the movie was when I discovered the lead actress was Carmen Cortez in Spy Kids. Also kinda sad because clearly that was the highlight of her career.

I'm afraid I don't see the problem that lots of people seem to have with this film. With a wonderful central performance from Alexa Penavega and some good twists along the way, I thought this was a good Hallmark film. Forget the cheesiness, suspend your disbelief and cynicism - enjoy a good film.
