Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

penelopesodyssey Lisa Whelchel doesn't look like Edward Ruttle's mother. She looks like Antonio Cupo's mother! I mean really, if you feel the need to cast a much older woman, use someone gorgeous like Jane Seymour! At least that would be more believable. I just couldn't get past it. Other than that Antonio Cupo was lovely as usual. Reviewers talking about "incest" because the children were getting married, are being absurd. If the kids grew up together, they might be in some serious need of therapy. Even then, however, it's still not incest. The only problem with the parental figures ever getting married is the fact that Lisa Whelchel could have actually given birth to Antonio Cupo! Definitely pass on this if you've just eaten!

labbysexy-544-183001 Started off well but somehow unrealistic what with such a young Lawyer having eyes for a frumpy much older woman. Whilst their kids at 22yrs of age seem so sure about marriage having dropped out of college seems a far stretch on the imagination the shocker was despite this, both parents of said kids also have a thing for each other...........eewwww!! No matter the chemistry felt, the minute they discovered that their kids were sleeping together and preparing to get married should have nipped that relationship in the bud very quickly. It is totally inconceivable and sick on every level to think the children are married then the parents are dating or perish the thought, get married. I can just hear them with guests at the dinner table. Meet my stepson/son-in-law or meet my step-daughter/daughter-in law. Who comes up with these nonsense.

Laura Okay, pairing a 51yr old woman with a 37yr old man who looks 30 was not a good idea when they could have easily properly cast this male lead. It was just ridiculous, not to mention that both of their kids were supposed to be 22 which means he would have been 15 when he had his daughter. By this reasoning she could practically have been his mother in the movie instead of his romantic interest. I have enjoyed other movies with a younger guy and older woman but it did not work at all in this movie.Aside from that it was a typical Hallmark romance, cheesy but enjoyable in parts. I'm not that picky when it comes to these types of romances but these leads just annoyed me through the whole movie, they way overdid the animosity in the beginning, there was no chemistry between them at all and that, combined with the age difference, really reduced the believability factor for me.

utgard14 So I'm flipping through the channels and I see a commercial for a Hallmark TV movie that reunites Blair and Tootie from The Facts of Life. Naturally I had to see it. The story is about a wedding planner (Lisa Whelchel) who's not happy about a divorce attorney (Antonio Cupo) setting up shop next door to her business. Things get more complicated when Lisa's son shows up with his new fiancée, who just so happens to be Antonio's daughter. Neither parent is crazy about the relationship, believing the kids are rushing into things. But gradually they learn to accept it and also start to fall for each other.There is one spoilery thing I wanted to address. I don't think this is a huge spoiler given how these sorts of movies are but consider yourself warned anyway. At the end of the movie the son and daughter marry while the mother and father kiss, signaling the beginning of their relationship. So basically if the two parents ever marry, that would mean their kids would become siblings. But they're married too. So Lisa's son would be married to his stepsister and Antonio's daughter to her stepbrother. Seemed kind of odd they involved this incestuous element when it really wasn't necessary to the story.It's nice to see Lisa Whelchel acting again. I liked her on Facts of Life and I liked her on the season of Survivor she did. I'm a child of the '80s, so sue me. Kim Fields plays Lisa's best friend and business partner. Her role is to basically say sassy things and encourage stuffy Lisa to' get some.' You get the picture. The rest of the cast is kind of generic but nobody was particularly bad. There's a ceiling on how good this could have been, given the fact that it's a made-for-TV movie. Honestly, it wasn't that great. If it wasn't for Blair and Tootie, I doubt I would have finished it. If you're a Facts of Life fan, by all means check it out. Everybody else, I guess it depends on if you generally like these sorts of movies. If you do, then you'll probably like it a bit more than I did.
