Nearlyweds (2013)

You won't be disappointed!

A Masterpiece!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

Erin, Casey and Stella all decided on a June wedding so these gals are newly weds three times over. But, alas, problems arrive. Casey, who owns a dog care business and lives in the apartment right below, experiences woe when a former flame of her new hubby's applies for the job as his assistant. She gets it, ugh. Naturally, the husband doesn't see a problem. Stella, alas, discovers her mate is one domineering guy. Yes, he's wealthy and successful, so Stella had a secure feeling, but he soon resists her accepting a terrific job for herself, saying she doesn't need to work. Meanwhile, Dr. Erin has the difficult mother in law of all mothers in law, Renee (Naomi Judd) move in with her and her handsome husband. What results is no privacy, no peace. Into these situations comes an even greater curveball. It appears the minister who conducted all of their ceremonies passed away before he could sign the marriage certificates. NONE of them are truly married in the eye of the law. The gals learn this information and wait to tell their partners, for all of them are now having second thoughts about their futures together. Will these folks all walk down the aisle again in a month or so? This fun film has one attractive, talented cast although none of the stars is famous, except Judd, who is a hoot and a half as the domineering mama. Also quite gorgeous are the costumes, sets, and makeup jobs. Add on a clever script and a fine direction and the end game is a nice rom-com for all dedicated fans and even those who aren't.

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.

While the theme of the movie regarding 3 friends who marry and then discover that the required paper work was never finished, yes, we've seen this theme before. What makes this movie so good? Usually, everything ends well after spats and all reconcile their differences. This was not to be the case in one of the marriages and although it's heartbreaking, it's dealt with realistically.That being said, we have a fine movie here showcasing the girlfriend from before who suddenly appears and the traditional overbearing mother-in-law.Sometimes opportunities present themselves so that remarriage is not possible. As stated, this happened in one of the cases and it was refreshing to see something different along a traditional theme.
