Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Jack Vasen When I saw that Brooke D'Orsay was the star, I was excited because I thought she was a powerful character in Royal Pains. And as the movie started out, it looked like this would be another chance to see a wonderful woman similar to Paige from Royal Pains. But the movie was boring. Most of it was about wedding planning. There was an attempt to set up a daughter-in-law/mother-in-law conflict. But that conflict was muddled. There are other details I didn't like, but expanding on them gives away too much. In some ways this was not your typical Hallmark movie. There were no competing love interests and the leads started out in love (having had a two year uninterrupted relationship). The male lead was a virtual non-entity. I don't blame D'Orsay for the shortcomings because I think she did the best she could with the script.

Prismark10 June in January is another Hallmark chick flick which comes out with a cookie cutter plot and some bland but good looking leads and a small budget.Alex is a rising lawyer and from a wealthy family. June always planned a dream wedding with her late mother in June. However a job in another city means that they bring forward the wedding to January and have only a few days to plan the wedding. The cog in the wheel is Alex's mother (Marilu Henner) who has her own wedding agenda and shuts out June, she is aided by her new assistant who carries a torch for Alex.Alex takes little interest in the wedding planning, eventually realises that her mother is domineering and he is at risk of losing his bride. After a brief showdown, the mother eventually has a change of heart.The film is breezy and inoffensive. Its also very predictable and not very good. The director shows little flair, the script is by the numbers.

boblipton Brooke D'Orsay is getting married to Wes Brown in only a few weeks and she has a wedding to plan. She turns into Bridezilla and freaks out when future mother-in-law Marilu Henner tries to help because not every detail is just as she imagined it would be.This is a movie quite evidently aimed at women. Mr. Brown doesn't care about the details of their wedding and neither do I. This makes Miss D'Orsay's mania obnoxious. Since I did not care about Miss D'Orsay, I do not care about the details of her wedding, Mr. Brown's is a handsome but rather bland character and even the old pros don't give me much of interest, even though they turn obnoxious in order to give some sense of dramatic conflict to the movie.By the time that happens and the inevitable crisis occurs, I had lost interest and expect that every man whose girlfriend makes him watch will do likewise. I also believe that a lot of women who believe that a wedding is a nice party and that it's the marriage that counts will feel the same.

caseybones Another in a long line of boring, predictable pap. Nothing new, nothing that cannot be figured out in the first 10 minutes.Perky bride has the requisite dead mother who encouraged her daughter to have a lifelong obsession with her wedding day. In the cast: supportive father (naturally), evil mother-in-law-to-be that sees the error of her ways and does at 180 and embraces the new daughter-in-law in the nick of time, vindictive wannabe girlfriend who is so obvious in her deceit that she might as well be wearing a neon sign, and two totally chemistry-free lovers. Obligatory crisis occurs in the last 10 minutes and is solved in mere seconds and this mess is blessedly over.And yet again they film in a location that expects a suspension of belief with the premise that the entire wedding will be ruined because it's January instead of June and "too cold for roses" and yet every tree is fully leafed out. Apparently Hallmark has no budget for anything but the same tired studio back lot.Don't waste your time. You've seen it all before about 50 times.
