And so the wedding veil both literally and the franchise gets passed from Lacey Chabert (who just about kept part 1 afloat) to Autumn Reeser.
This didn't inspire much confidence in me, because while Reeser is one of Hallmark's stalwarts in terms of leading ladies (and they've been losing a few lately), her films can often be a bit patchy. She plays uptight characters who seem to take an age to soften.
Much like part 1, this just about works. The story feels thinner this time around, with the constant "oh, I bumped into the leading man" element wearing a bit thin.
Reeser remains likable though, and this had enough nice moments for me to stick with it, and go into part 3 with a vague sense of curiosity about how it will all end up.
Fine overall.
