feel good romance

I'm gonna give this one 9 stars. This is a general feel good romance movie. Some people may find it cheesy. And, OK, so it may be predictable like several reviews have mentioned but if you want a romance movie that leaves your heart feeling lighter and happier at the end, then this is it. I loved this movie. Something about it reminds me of my own relationship with my spouse maybe because sometimes the person you think you are supposed to be with is not the person you would be happiest with. And the somewhat ordinary person causes you to be happier than you would have ever guessed. I was having kind of a lousy day and this movie cheered me up.

Trivia
The young lady who attempts to steal Hillary's wedding dress in the store was played by Jennifer Elise Cox, who played Jan Brady, in the first two Brady Bunch movies that starred Shelley Long.

Goofs
When Hillary and David are discussing wedding plans with Father Macy, David reveals he is Jewish. Father Macy says he will not be able to perform the wedding and Hillary says that David will convert. The Catholic Church has allowed interfaith couples to get married in a church ceremony for decades without the need for the non-Catholic partner to convert.

Quotes
Hillary Burns: [seeing the family house filled with people] Oh, my god. I thought you said this was family only.
Meredith Burns: Well, I didn't want the whole town to think that you were going to be a spinster forever.
