Review of Yes, I Do

Yes, I Do (2018 TV Movie)
6/10
Alternate reality
27 March 2023
6.2 stars.

What are we supposed to do with a story as outlandish as "Yes, I Do"? I will not try to count the absurdities and list them here simply because I have nothing better to do, but I am required to meet the minimum number of words. I've run into a string of mundane and strange Hallmark films this week, and I think it's because they clump them together on purpose.

This is an odd story about a poor deranged woman who is unfortunately played by Jen Lilley who gets all of these crackpot female parts. I suppose she is very good at presenting a neurotic, unsympathetic sort of person. I'm sorry for that, but she is very pretty and quirky no matter who she represents, so I will always watch her films. The character is bonkers, she leaves her man standing at the alter not once, but twice, and it's all due to an anxiety disorder. I wish Hallmark didn't make light of these sorts of conditions, because they are real. Some people can be very psychologically challenged with over dramatization, and over thinking stuff. It's a disease, it requires treatment in many cases. Her character is no different. Let's not glamorize the whole thing by chuckling at our TV screens out of ignorance. It's called psychosomatic - look it up.

7.2 stars for Jen Lilley and 5.2 stars for the rest = 6.2 stars.
