We are all aware Hallmark can be as safe and sappy as can be....this takes the cake. A lesser leading lady would have dropped my score significantly.

This movie has the traditional Hallmark warm bright colors that makes an otherwise kinda boring movie engaging. Not much happens and the stakes are very low. Lady wants to get married in January, but work issues make that not possible without some holiday magic and a super quick resolving of inlaw issues.

Very minor spoilers, not that there is anything worth spoiling: While I had no desire to trash or praise this film, I commented for one reason: these characters are so Christian (how christian are they?!), they are so Christian that the idea of living together for a few months before marriage never even crossed their minds as a thing that is possible. Tres bizarre. Additionally, money did not seem to be an issue....couldn't they at least have lived near each other for awhile? Spent a year as engaged? Last minor spoiler, I didn't like how the "bad girl" was mistreated for doing what she thought her boss wanted. Obviously, morally she was not cool, but many are trained to take initiative and know what the boss wants. When the boss changes their mind after acting the stereotypical mother-in-law, the employee shouldn't suffer!

A simple, sweet, and safe movie with light charm if that is what you are after. I honestly don't remember the ending but pretty sure they got married in January as planned. That's not a spoiler because I could be wrong.

A final note to reviewer LisaSwason, perhaps the only human to be offended by a Hallmark movie: that scene wasn't designed to mock the nursing profession, but rather an example of the typical passive-aggressive minimizing technique employed by "mother-in-law" types in many stories. It doesn't matter the profession, these type of people will find ways to knock you down. Please calm down - no one is attacking you, at least not at Hallmark.

From the start the couple didn't seem to have been together for 2 years as they claimed, 2 months is more believable. They don't seem to know each other, and their families seem to have never met. June is a bit too whiny for my liking. She seems like an intelligent rationale person but the wedding made her a real bridezilla. Does it really matter if her further mother in law helped with suggestions as her fiancé couldn't care less? He's put his career over everything and expects her to drop it all and move across the country with him. She had a great career and loving family and friends so why not grow a backbone and put her foot down? I get a rushed wedding is the whole plot but still. The mother in law didn't seem to be the bad guy, she was helpful, hosts expensive high class events. And the wedding was a week away. Why did June flirt with the plumber? Why did the friend approve of this? I really thought this should have been the turning point to say ok let's go our separate ways. Her initiating the flirting was so out of her character . While Alex fought off the thirsty assistant and showed his loyalty. The movie seemed to throw a bunch of cliche and non conventional things together and it made for a very rocky inconsistent movie. It was a disappointing 2 hours.

6.4 stars.

A man who was basically born into money and is pressured by his rich mother has decided to marry a nurse. Of course she is a good nurse, and one of the best people you will ever meet, but that doesn't change the mind of a soon to be mother-in-law who wants nothing more than to have her son marry into the aristocracy.

There are a lot of cringe moments in this film, and my primary take is that this guy does not deserve this woman. In the end he has the chance to prove that he really loves her no matter what the cost. One moment is when she loses her ring down the sink and then puts it on immediately after salvaging it. WASH IT FIRST.
