Autumn Dreams (2015 TV Movie)
5/10
Very vanilla
22 September 2017
First of all, I was not convinced that any of the eligible partners would make a fit match. Certainly not Jovanna and Ben, although Jovanna was not nearly the evil villain that is often the case in these stories. Not Joe and Annie, although there was nothing terribly wrong with their match - just nothing terribly right either. And although they were already married, even Annie and Ben didn't convince me.

The acting was decent, although I didn't see any fireworks between Annie and Ben.

The already married/ never divorced theme was weak. I suppose it could have happened in the first place, but being missed by everyone, including the IRS, for 15 years is lame.

Writers of these things never think about how much money things really cost since Annie has to fly across the country and the judge wanted it twice. Then she buys a wedding dress approved by Jovanna which had to cost at least 5 times what she would have bought (and been happy with) in Iowa. Then this farm owner, who is worried about both a grant and making quota, buys a high-fashion dress in NY. Lucky that Ben was putting her up in the corporate suite because it would have cost her several hundred a night anywhere in that district otherwise.

The story was very straight vanilla with no real surprises.
