7.2 Stars.
The first movie was kinda like the statement: "once upon a time" a stray fair maiden stumbled on a handsome rugged prince. The second movie was like "a dark mystery shrouded their love", and then they nestled into a happy relationship. This is the third installment, and it is best described as "they lived happily ever after".
I so totally understand why they made three movies (and hopefully more) out of this storyline. The actors never disappoint, all three movies are wonderful. This movie is easy and breezy, just flowing along as they prepare for the wedding. It's possibly the conclusion to a fairy tale 3 years in the making, and they certainly have my blessing for a fourth installment. I hope they do. Maybe they could call it "Babies for Father Christmas". LOL.
This is an epic saga of a long and pleasant journey of two people who make it work because they value family and Christmas. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no uncommon moral lesson but to live life with an honest heart, importance of family, friends, and community in your life, be good to others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. I see the Christian values they are ever so subtly conveying. I suppose you can take it or leave it. By now you should realize that Hallmark teamed up with a Christian company some decades ago. Their values are written all over these movies. No fornication, no swearing, no innuendo, full of kindness, forgiveness, and love. I suppose that's ultimately the secondary motivation for why I watch these movies. Peace.
