This is "episode 5" of a loosely related series of RomComs united not by a thread but by an Italian wedding veil.
The familiar cast of favorite TV (and Hallmark) veterans is strong and likable. It is nice to see a G-rated movie with fun and respectful behavior and language throughout. There is an elegance present within the characters and throughout the story itself.
Life's journey has twists and turns. Husband Paolo's dad becomes ill in Italy and calls him to return to be with family. Wife Emma's college teaching job success is on a path toward moving into the administrative higher position of department chairperson.
Love involves sacrifice. We see such love expressed by the couple towards each other, by a child for a parent, by friends (and even co-workers) for one another.
I loved learning that 1. Croissant-like breads are called "cornettos" in Italian.
2. one can prevent wall damage when hanging a painting by "forking a nail."
3. "FOMO" is used beyond texting.
4. new words in Italian, explained throughout the two hours.
5. how a retiring chairperson prepares the protégé for the transition.
6. that there's a baby on the way.
I feel good after watching this flick.
