Falling in Love in Niagara (2024)
Am I the only one
I really enjoyed this movie but it seems I am one of few. At the beginning of it, with the female lead character being over the top with her demanding ways, I was getting pretty annoyed with her. Why would Hallmark make her so annoying? I didn't like the fiancé any better and wasn't surprised by the break up. Also, the sister going with her on the "sister moon" was trite but then you find out about their chaotic childhood and a couple of things make sense. Going on and allowing tour guide Mike to show our lead how to enjoy an adventure was fun. It moved a bit faster than reality but it's not reality so just go with it. As usual with Hallmark, the ex fiancé shows up and promises he's changed, she's different and please come back! This greatly disappoints me because he shows almost immediately that he has not changed at all. In fact, he rushes her to pack and leave immediately. What he doesn't tell her is it's because he wants to play golf the next day. What I truly enjoyed the most in this movie is Jocelyn Hudon's energy and willingness to learn how to enjoy the adventures "Mike" has in store for them. Dan Jeannotte never disappoints and Jocelyn Hudon is always fun and energetic to watch. The beauty of Niagara Falls was awesome to see again. Last time for me was in person many years ago. While the writing wasn't impressive, this was a fun way to spend a couple hours when you can't go there physically. Worst line-"Jason" says ,"you're going to have to stop nagging me", while he was planning golf rather than talking to her.
The Wedding Veil Journey (2023)
Just enjoy it!
Ok, yes, there are things in this last of the second trilogy that should not happen IRL but they do here. Suspension of disbelief, people. Allison Sweeney as Tracey lets her heart shine through more in this one. There are several subplots-just go with it. Nobody should have their friends along on their honeymoon but by this point the ladies are basically sisters under the skin. The husbands are sweet enough to just go with it. Subplot with Leo- is he not the cutest little actor? The main thing is ask yourself if you want a hard hitting true life drama or a little escapism. For me, real life has been a little too hard hitting and I love the escape. Of course it's not realistic! It's a Hallmark movie. Beautiful scenery, a pretty good story, good looking people (so sue me, I like the looks and fashion). The worst thing is now I want to go to Greece!
