I Do, I Do, I Do

I've watched this movie with my mom over and over again! Probably as many times as the day repeats! Love when it's playing on tv and will watch it any time of year. Beautiful background, great casting, and funny cute story. I enjoy that all the characters grow and realize what's best for each of them. It's a very simple premise and you don't need to think when watching. One thing is I can't figure out how she has a new outfit every day? Didn't she just pack for a weekend and yet have multiple outfits for different things to do? Even a swim suit? Or how she can order an orchestra online and arrive the day of? Quick service.

I wish I could give this movie 5 stars for its first third and 10 for the other two. Why do so many Hallmark movies start off so bad just to become great after the point in which a lot of viewers most likely stopped watching it? You can read my review on the movie "It was always you", it applies to the first part of this movie just as well since the two are practically identical. Then it takes a turn for the best and becomes both legitimately funny and legitimately cute and romantic, unlike a lot of movies labeled as "comedy/romance" in which the comedy is just silly and cringeworthy farfetched dialogs and the romance is the two leads deciding they want to get together in the last minute before the ending. This one, however, and despite the fact that the premise has the potential risk of falling into a boring and repetitive execution, manages to stay dynamic and entertaining adding continuity and uniqueness to each of the same day she relives. I liked to see fantasy being used outside Christmas. There's still a little bit of cringe though, like when she relives the wedding for the first time she acts fully aware of the time loop mechanics for some reason while she freaks out the next time, but what kind of made-for-TV rom-com would it be without a little bit of cringe, right?

If you are considering watching this movie, then you know what to expect. It is a Hallmark romance. You know the plot. The timing of the first kiss, but do pay attention for the timing in this movie. You don't need me telling you more than the storyline tells already. You want to know whether you should watch it? The time anomaly angle gives the story a new angle for the writers to pursue. Interesting enough and the few repeated scenes where the continuity is messed up aren't that disturbing and are largely missed. Nice message about taking risks in life. I would have given it a 5.7 and not just a 5, but it was either a 5 or a 6 and nothing in between. Watch it once!

Of course it goes without saying that Ali Leibert should have been the lead actor here, but Autumn Reiser has some charms. The movie has a quirky charm and fun sense of humor. I also love the Canadian extras that pop up in so many Hallmark movies.

There are very few movies I'll watch more than once but this one of those rare ones that I never get tired of watching. Autumn's performance is spectacular as she evolves from confused and angry to embracing the situation whole-heartedly.

The main reason I love this show is because it is all about the marriage and not the wedding (even though the wedding does take place over and over again). Too many Hallmark movies make life to be all about the wedding, almost as if the perfectly executed wedding would absolutely guarantee the absolutely perfect marriage - which is the premise of every Bridezilla that graces the screen. Honestly, I had really low expectations when I started watching this show. If the acting is bad and the characters unlikeable, who wants to watch them do the same thing over and over and over again ala Groundhog day style. Fortunately, Autumn Reeser is amazing in this show and she really carries the movie. She is believable, likeable and we feel for her but are delighted to see her embrace her situation and make it work for her - you go gal! I have never liked Antonio Cupo in any Hallmark movie - to me and just to me (I am sure there are many women who think he is fabulous), there is something very effeminate about his mannerisms and for the fact that he has Italian blood and is so tall with great features, one would imagine him to cut a dashing and charming Hallmark lead, which to me, he is not. I have never seen him look at his female leads with any believable chemistry and this movie is no different which works fine, I guess, because he is not the lead romantic actor. And then there is Shawn Roberts, the actual lead romantic actor. I saw him in 'Recipe in Love', that was a nice show as was this one, but there is just something about him that I am not crazy about. He has a smile that is too 'jock' to be taken seriously and it is like he is trying too hard to be charming. I do however love the chemistry between Jacyln and Max and I like the premise that they spend so much time together before falling in love - even if he doesn't actually remember anything but hey, if they have proven to be good together on days he can't remember, they will be good together on future days together so I like! p.s. I am not sure why a couple of reviews say that Ali married Antonio ... didn't Autumn marry Antonio (over and over again at that). Ali was the sister no? #confused

I watched this one morning and the premise is about a girl named Jaclyn (Autumn Reesor), an architect, who relives her disastrous wedding day over and over until she faces her fears and discovers what she really wants in life. It's not bad. It has some humour in it and the scenery is wonderful, but it's been done before called 'Groundhog Day' with Bill Murray. I gave this a low rating because of the cliche of a gal gets married and has second thoughts. I was a little disappointed with the plot, but if you're an Ali Liebert fan as much as I am, then this movie is for you. Not worth your time.

I do, I do, I do, love this fun movie! Autumn Reeser experiences her own type of Groundhog Day on her wedding day. She is adorable and her chemistry with Shawn Roberts is perfect. This is one of my favorites that I watch often and highly recommend!

A woman keeps reliving her wedding day, until she figures out what she really wants. It's Groundhog day except it's your wedding day. This was a cute, typical hallmark film. I must say the characters have no depth, but that's hallmark. They are one-dimensional. To top that off, I wonder how the man she falls in love with could fall in love with her that fast too, since they only had 24 hours since they met. Sorry, spoiler alert. Even with its flaws, this isn't a bad film. It's a cute let's push them out film. With that said, it's a watchable hallmark film. www.what-to-watch.com
