My brother gave me a compilation of the classic romance comics from the middle of the 20th century. There are three plot themes from these comics.
#1: Overbearing husband wants the perfect trophy wife and makes her feel like a looser when she tries to think.
#2: The wife feels like she has to compete with other women for her clueless husband's attention because of the evil designing woman trying to steal him.
#3: The husband and the apron strings that were never cut.
I think someone was reading them when they came up with the plot for this movie.

This Hallmark film starts out brightly when the priest speaks to the camera but once he collapses it rapidly descends downhill.Erin, Casey and Stella all decided on a June wedding so these gals are newlyweds but it seems that the minister who conducted all of their ceremonies passed away before he could sign the marriage certificates. They will have to go through a ceremony again but some of them might have second thoughts after the first few weeks of marriage.Casey gets upset when an ex-girlfriend gets a job working for her new husband. Erin a doctor finds that her mother in law is pushy and resents her for taking her son away. Stella has a rich but domineering husband who does not want her to have a career.The film is derivative, fails poorly as a rom-com. The husbands are so bad you wonder why these ladies married them in the first place.

This film has several strong performances from its principles and a generally good chemistry between everyone in the ensemble. It takes common issues related to love, loss, and marriage and posits them in three intersecting story lines, an effective setup for what eventually becomes a light, family oriented morality play.My personal favorites are Danielle Panabaker and Jessica Parker Kennedy, who remain grounded in material that might fly away from lesser actors.This film is sure to play well to its audience, and will spur additional interest amongst country fans for the rare non-musical performance from country staple Naomi Judd.

Good acting, good cinematography, and good direction cannot save a boring screen play. During the first 85 minutes I wondered to myself several times whether it was worth it to continue watching. The only thing that kept me from turning off the TV was a made-up game I created, where I tried to guess the outcome.I did enjoy the interactions between the three almost married couples, and the interactions between the three girl friends.The three things that most detracted from the story were: 1) The dog. 2) The mother-in-law. 3) The ex-girlfriend. As written, these three characters were over-the-top to the point of being painful.
