Sisters of the Groom (2016)

During the start of this TV movie you would ask yourself if the title is a misnomer or not.  You know what, it does not matter.  I got interested and I watched it.  Who cares if the sisters aren't really the central characters?  They were still instrumental in bringing Jason and Sarah together, even if it was not on purpose.  Yes,  you guessed it right.  I convinced myself with those words.

As the story progressed, especially towards the end, the sisters of the grooms(present and future) have their own highlights, so maybe I'm wrong.  It's not a misnomer after all.

There was a time when I tried stopping myself from watching Hallmark/PixL movies because I wanted to get out of dream zone.  Life is not a movie, yes, but we all know that life (also) imitates art.  

It's good to have reality checks, but once in a while, especially when you are almost down in the dumps or have a major concern in life, these movies are the things to watch.

In all fairness there are Hallmark movies that are very real.

Back to the movie...

Jason and Sarah have an instant rapport and they didn't realise that.  Coming out from the mouths of babes, "They were doing googly-eyes at each other."  Not sure if that's verbatim or not.  If Jason and Sarah have an instant rapport, do Jeremy and Melise have chemistry? Yes, indeed!  Maybe they are not real life sweethearts, but they made us believe they are.  They made me wonder.  Would I check it out?  Maybe later...much, much later.  I'm still in the zone of being in love with this story.

To be honest, the only person familiar to me in this movie is Greg Evigan(My Two Dads). For the longest time, he was Joey Harris to me.

Maybe Matthew Atkinson is a little familiar and so is Michelle LaRue, but maybe she just resembles Emma Roberts.  I dunno.

Was the story over the top? Maybe, but it works for me. 

To prepare something in such short notice? It worked because somebody like Sarah didn't panic, Molly was there to help and Ben had all those connections.  It could happen.  Yes, it could.  

Would I watch it again?

Sure, but like what I said before, the list is getting longer, so I guess it'll take a while before I do.
