Well, it was always going to be anodyne, wasn't it? What gets me is the pointlessness of this as a movie.
Arriving on UK TV less than a week before the nuptials of the couple it purports to portray, this glossy TV movie is extreme soap.
Filled with people who slightly resemble other people when seen from a certain angle, this effort has a script which is not so much feeble as the sort of thing one used to see in comics which adapted real-life stories.
The problem here is that the real-life events portrayed are so recent that they haven't stopped happening yet. Drawn, as it must be, from matters of public record as filtered through a strong dose of imagination, this is a bit like listening to someone narrating your life to you 5 minutes after it has happened, and making it sound like a fairytale as they do so.
I suppose if it's what you're looking for, it gives you what you're looking for. But it is essentially a very glossy soap.
