Bridal Wave

Hallmark movies are for entertainment purposes only. They have replaced the torrid, racy novels I used to read in high school. There's not alot of substance or plot to them but the characters are good looking. Andrew Walker is my favorite Hallmark movie actor hands down. He is hot and that's all that matters to me. Other people complained about Arielle Kibbel but she's fine. They are fine together. The plot was a little thin but it was fine. I would watch it again.

As Hallmark productions go, this is rather typical, and quite pleasant fare for those us desiring to not be dizzied by millenial directors/cinematographers and their camera operators who think tossing a camera around a set makes for good cinema, or screenwriters who have every single character be sniveling entitled little jerks who preface every sentence with the EFF word...no blood and guts no dark evil clowns...just pleasant (and yes, contrived) sunday afternoon fare... Now with that said, this one hits all the marks... BUT.... BUT...BUT... I know for a fact i'm not the only one to be unsettled by the fact that jaclyn smith's snotty and rude character did Not get her come uppance, which she So Very Richly Deserved... Now We are all sure jaclyn smith is a wonderful kind lady...but she was never that good an actress to pull this off-she simply had to be bringing out some natural true nature to be #THAT. FREAKING. RUDE Come on hallmark, make a movie where rude skinny little jackie has to do community service coaching 9 year old cheerleaders for violating Dr/Patient confidentiality, or for leading the highway patrol on a high speed chase thru 4 counties, then resisting arrest. Then we can all sleep better.

I was practically giddy with delight when I saw the cast of this movie. I love Andrew W. Walker in everything he does and was thrilled that he was again paired with Arielle Kebble who I first saw in 'A Bride For Christmas" one of my favorite HM movies. They were truly marvelous. Plus David Hadyn-Jones, fell in love with him when I watched "Bramble House Christmas" with Autumn Reeser, one of the best movies I have seen him in. He is a fantastic actor. It was also exciting to Jaclyn Smith again, I always thought that she was the most beautiful actress in Hollywood.. She did a great job as the overbearing and disaproving mother of the groom. She is such a talented actress and still beautiful. Plot Arielle Kebble as Georgie Dwyer is marrying David Hadyn-Jones as Phillip Hamilton, her plastic sirgeon fiancé, whose career constantly interferes with their wedding festivities. Trying to avoid her future mother-in-law and a dress fitting for the size 2 Vera Wang wedding gown chosen by who else but the smother in-law to be. While making her escape she jumps into a pickup driven by Andrew W. Walker as Luke Griggs, a handsome,, disillusioned architect .who makes her question her choice of groom. My advice: Watch this movie.
