So I liked it. It was a cute movie with an interesting premise. What I couldn't buy into was the fact that the leading man assumed the leading lady was getting married for over half the movie. (An hour and 15 minutes to be exact) She wasn't wearing a ring, she flirted with him heavily. While there were some red herrings when she was helping her friend plan - not mentioning who was getting married anytime she was in the presence of the leading man during the planning - there was no male person ever calling or visiting her, not one mentioned. She was also obviously into the leading man and spent all her free time with him, so not sure how he continued to think she was getting married. His awful Boston accent was extremely distracting as well. He didn't have one for the first 20 minutes, then he had one, then he didn't, then he did, etc. If he never had one, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference, since no one else in the movie had one anyway. The other sad part was while the leads had some great chemistry, the kisses were chaste and awkward. Since Covid, Hallmark ceased to be about romance and more about buddies who share a chaste, short, awkward kiss or two. I hope the movies get better, because I miss the romance part of the rom-com movies....
