And coming from me, that's saying something bc Lifetime movies in the last 8-9 years have been ridiculous with all the man=hating, sex, death (oh excuse me MURDER) movies. I used to watch Lifetime in college, but now I don't even bother except for Frasier reruns. But I digress.
I saw the preview for this on Hallmark (I think) and as a fan of LL's from back in the Ally McBeal days, and this movie seemed light and fun, so I made plans to tune in. I was verrry pleasantly surprised! The writing was great, the actors were great (very rare that not a single character irritates me), and it was just a great miniseries to watch.
From the previews, I thought it was going to be fantasy-based, but it wasn't. One thing I liked about this romance is that they acknowledged that everything was happening fast. One thing I hate about TV movies/romcoms is that everything usually happens in less than a week, so it just seems weird, but even though this one probably took place in 3 months, that fact was lampshaded enough...and then... SPOILER.....Lucy's character still waited a year to get married. So you can imagine that whichever of the guys she married, she still took the time to get to know him. Another pleasant surprise was that, it was only 50/50 percent predictable. I had my #1 guy, but I honestly thought they were going to switch it up...so I was somewhat on the edge of my seat.
This could become a Lifetime classic, and I prefer movies like this one and The 12 Men of Christmas to all the killing movies they show.
P.S. If I may have a shallow moment: I really loved Lucy's wardrobe! Whomever styled her did a fantastic job.
