Mistletoe Connection (2023)
One of the Season's Best
There have been a few other good ones this season, all on Hallmark, in all honesty (Great American really needs to hire some real writers), but this is right up there with the best of them. This concept has been done a million times, but the chemistry between the leads is off the charts, and, as other reviewers have commented, Jessica Siposs is amazing. It is almost shocking to see this particular network put out a movie of this quality, especially considering the limited budget. Be on the lookout for a short, very touching scene between Ms. Siposs and Jennifer-Juniper Angeli (who plays her mother) toward the end. A genuinely pleasant surprise that I have to admit I never saw coming.
The Wedding Veil Inspiration (2023)
Worst of the Series
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other review thus far posted. I will not go into the sordid details that make this by far and away the most lame installment of this series, but suffice it to say that Emma's husband comes off as a wolf in sheep's clothing, and Emma is reduced to being yet another educated and talented woman with a dream of her own who gives everything up for her man. I mean, come on now, here we have a tenured university professor who loves teaching but is by the end of this travesty reduced to producing videos for free. All so that her husband, who by all accounts has lied about everything he agreed to do for her when they were in Italy, can return home permanently at the first sign of family problems. This disgusting reprobate even had the nerve to suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, announce that he was homesick for his family, having to be reminded by his wife that SHE was now his family. (BTW: He was going to leave a brand-new, multi-million dollar store in the hands of a novice?) It is shocking that both Lacey Chabert and Autumn Reeser, who executive produced this disaster, would allow a woman to be diminished so thoroughly. This is their idea of a marriage of equals?
