Simply Perfect

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

A Masterpiece!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Please don't go after the reviews you see ! It was such a good movie. One of the best from Hallmark. It might have been predictable for some but whats wrong with that when its such a perfect one ? Andrew Walker and Ariella Kebel have become my favorites after watching this movie. I wish there were more movies like this one that pleasantly surprise you and sort of make you believe that the right one is out there and you don't want someone who just suits you, but someone who genuinely cares about you and loves you for who you are. Bridal Wave is one of those movies for me which you can watch over and over again and still feel good about them. Its one I will remember for a long time.

Here is the thing. Those of us that love Hallmark movies know what we are getting into, and we love it. I'm so tired of the negative comments against these type of movies. If Hallmark isn't your cup of tea then don't watch them. They are my favorite kind of tea. ***SPOILERS**** This is a story about finding someone who values the right things. Contrary to another reviewer, our hero is not a loser. He is a guy who has been successful, but taken a break to find himself. Since when does that make one a loser? He owns a home and is a wonderful hero for our movie. It's a story about not getting married because it makes 'sense', but because of the unexplainable connection that you feel with the right person. Another reviewer commented on wealthy snobs winning over everyday people. Huh? The movie is the opposite of that, sounds like bitter grapes to me (or total immaturity). It's the journey of three people, two of whom are not seeing clearly and it took the presence of the third character and his absolute certainty to bring clarity to all three. What is so great about this story is that none of our three main characters are 'bad' and all of them end up with what/who they really want.

Why I wasn't exactly thrilled with this film? When you think of it, snooty Jaclyn Smith got exactly what she wanted when this marriage didn't come off. It is as if it is a victory for the wealthy snobs against the everyday people. Yes, it is fact that such a marriage was destined not to be, but this is how I feel.I just loved the way our doctor gave in when his bride to be called things off. It was as if he couldn't wait to jump ship. Working together for 4 years, you would think that the doctor and nurse would come to realize that something wasn't just right about them.In very typical Hallmark fanfare, she meets her true love while at the resort and how convenient that our good doctor's time is taken up.

What is it with Hallmark movies and female protagonists marrying the wrong guy? In Bridal Wave, beautiful and intelligent George Anne is engaged to her handsome, brilliant plastic surgeon co-worker, with whom she enjoys such a rapport that they both comment on the fact that they've never had a fight. So naturally, she will meet up with a complete loser, and fall in love with him instead. Luke is a non-conformist architect who refuses to play by anyone's rules. We know this because he wears flip-flops everywhere, and refuses to take any job that requires him to socialize with clients, yet he somehow has enough spare change to afford a house next to a five star wedding destination hotel, and make beautiful hand-crafted wooden benches to leave in the middle of nowhere. Naturally, the mother-in-law is overbearing, and George's mother is smothering in her attempt to live out her wedding vicariously through her daughter. Predictably, Luke and George will wind up together, despite the fact that he is an unemployed, anti-social jerk.
