Pickler is not great but she doesn't ruin it as much as the parents of the couple did. Basically this is the story of a wedding planning trainwreck, so much so I thought it was intentionally horrible. Instead of bridezilla it was momzillas. And Laurel's dad is just as bad. David Keith didn't have to act. He just had to stand and look miserable and condemning. And don't forget the ridiculous wedding planner. Talk about no clue.
Except for the singing, this movie had none of the fun of the Christmas episode. I was starting to wonder if there would be any performances by the stars and the first came just before the half-way point. I'm not the biggest country fan (or Elvis) but the leads nailed it in the one performance. I wasn't as thrilled with the guest performer later, but I'm sure many will be.
Fortunately the last part of the movie dumped the parody motif and became sweet and sappy like a typical Hallmark rom/com.
I can't personally recommend this movie and probably won't watch it again. The good things weren't enough to balance out the bad.
