A Christmas Wedding Date (2012) Reviews
Pretty bad
I have watched a lot of Christmas movies in the last month and honestly this was one of the worst so far; I can't believe the rather well known cast members agreed to be in it. It is basically a very poorly done remake of Groundhog Day. The characters were barely developed and I didn't care about any of them. So much of this movie was just plain stupid and annoying, from the miscast lead, to the way-too-good-looking ex boyfriend, to the undeveloped plot, to the unanswered questions. The causes for the behaviors of the characters were never even explained, just a lot of vague innuendo...what a mess. Basically I wish I had the two hours back.
Lazy All the Way Through
Combining various elements of Groundhog Day with other Christmas themes could be a cute idea, but these filmmakers just didn't want to put in the work. The spotty script didn't deliver either a solid plot or clever dialog. And if it had, there is no evidence the actors would have taken advantage of it. The movie is not just miscast, but the director seems to have made no effort to get everyone on board. At times the characters are understated, and at others way over-the-top, giving the film an uneven flow. It is also difficult to invest much feeling in the characters. Marla Sokoloff's Rebecca is generally mean, her would-be boyfriend is a handsome dishrag, and the supporting cast are all caricatures. Catherine Hicks came closest to rising above the foam, but they didn't give her much to play with. The movie in not completely unwatchable, having a few good moments, but for a plot that relies on magic, it has way too little.
good-hearted but not especially good
I love Marla Sokoloff, and the cast is all nicely chosen here, but the script and the directing just leave something to be desired. The entire affair feels gauzy, which isn't a surprise for a Hallmark movie, but underneath that there should still be some substance. In this case it just feels like they started with a mood they wanted to create and half-heartedly filled in whatever would produce that mood, without working much on details like whether any of it made sense. (Lots of it does, but there are some head-scratchers too.) Honestly, it felt like a sleepwalk, emotionally. The key revelations which play a central part in the story barely made any emotional impact at all on the people involved. So the chance for some real acting to intrude on our gauze-fest was mostly wasted -- just about entirely wasted, in the case of the revelation about the past history of the main characters. Shame. Still, it wasn't a bad way to spend a little time, if you like this kind of sappy movie. There are some fun moments, and I never get tired of watching Marla. 5/10 for me.
Another Christmas Movie Rip-Off of "Groundhog Day"
BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM VERY FARE. This is the third or fourth film that not only a rips-off of "Groundhog Day" but also rips off other rip-offs of "Christmas Theme Groundhog Day Films". This is a creative bomb. There is nothing unique about this film. The film not only waist the talents of the actors they also could of had a unique film had the lead been OLDER and perhaps been cast with Catherine Hicks in that role instead of pushing her into "The Mother Role" in which she has very little to do. In fact her part is thin and not very essential to the film. Truth is that all her scenes should of been cut. Something tells me her part was shoehorned into a thin script. My problem with lead actress (Marla Sokoloff) is that she is miscast as a ball buster. She comes across as someone who would be the secretary of a ball-buster who is secretly in love with the boss. Here she is the boss who gets fired on the eve of returning to her hometown to see her high school friend getting married. Now of course our protagonist is a very flawed and for this she must relive the same day over & over again until she finally learns not to be "Nice". Maybe had this film been cast with older (or better) actors it would of been more convincing! There is plenty of "GOOD FAMILY SAFE" Christmas theme films. This is not one of them. If this is playing on an airplane you will more entertained by reading the instructions on a vomit bag!
I loved this movie and the song towards the end.
I thought this movie that showed on ION was really cute. The movie is about a guy and a girl who reunite years later at a wedding. I thought the movie was cute and I like the actress Maria Sokoloff (The Flower Girl). Some parts were predictable but I like romance Christmas movies, and this is one of my favorites this year. She also tries to become close to her estranged mother who she has ignored for years. I like how she realizes things are not really up to her and can't force things to happen, which I liked about the movie. If anyone find or knows where I can get the song "Come on Let's find a way" played towards the end of the movie - it's sung by a guy and a girl, please let me know! Thanks!
