I was being generous. I only watched the first 40 minutes and had to quit. Everything about this movie was too predictable, and I normally don't mind that. It's part of the reason I watch Hallmark movies - enjoyable, escapist, a little romance, a little comedy all thrown together.
I'll start with the 2nd to the worst part. I've driven that trip from Denver to Colorado Springs to Wichita so many times. This didn't look like any of that highway. The town where they had to spend the night in the tent (which was when I turned it off) was too backwoods to be believable. Unless they turned west instead of east, they wouldn't find all those trees either. So bad choice on location.
Now for the worst part. It was that toast the friend read. It was silly and a bit goofy, which isn't what bothered me. The line about we'll tar and feather him. Really, Hallmark? In poor taste for anyone, but what were you thinking when the groom is black? Wow. I almost stopped there and wish I had.
Please do a better job with the writing and make sure you are sensitive to and respectful of all the characters and of the audience. This was a big fail.
