There's nothing really wrong with this film but there's nothing that I saw that was exciting, or grabbed my attention more so than other scenes. I mainly watched this for Lochlyn Munro; I remember the first film of his I saw: 'Unforgiven'. It wasn't a huge role but it was memorable, to me at least. Then other films of his I enjoyed 'A Night at the Roxbury', 'Scary Movie', 'Duets', and "White Chicks'. He's great as a comedian; except for 'Unforgiven' and a minor few other films, never really thought he had range in anything else. The only other person I have heard of in this film is Emily Tennant, and she was good in it for what this type of film is but nothing more, really.
I disliked the composition. Not talking of the other music like in the bar scenes etc., just the composition. Didn't like it. It doesn't sound bad it's just a boring composition. The plot was okay, I guess. Not too much to it, sort of reminded me of the film 'Sweet Home Alabama': small town girl goes to the big city to live a life and then comes back to the small town (in this case for a wedding) and an old flame sparks feelings again and should she stay or go back to the big city? That's a problem with these types of films: when another film with a similar plot pops in your head while watching it. 'Made of Honor' also popped in my head mainly because of the boyfriend of the girl who comes back...As I said: it's not a bad film (if it was: based on my other reviews my review here would be ten times longer) but nothing grabbed me.

Doc Dupree runs the successful garage in his sleepy town Caterton, ably assisted by hunky mechanic Jake Henderson, who is also devoted to the family. Doc's fashionable daughter Clare returns home, for her wedding to sweetly-doting local TJ. Also home for the event is her sister Matti, with her fancy fiance, classy businessman Devin, who balances between his workaholic socialite habits and efforts to fit in with the commoners gang, whom Jake steers to welcome him like other wedding guests, despite retaining a youth crush on Matti, who gradually reconnects with him and her original career dream: Jake's, vintage cars, and he has just the right concept.

Small Town Love
Dude. Run for the Hills!
I'm used to dumb stuff to choose to overlook when I am looking at Hallmark or Hallmark-style movies. But this one takes the cake for the most petulant, stupidest, most incompetent bride ever. With about a week to go before her wedding Emily Tennant plays the bride who hasn't done her seating arrangements, hired a caterer, purchased flowers, decided on a cake, or chosen her colors yet. All she does is sit around and whine about how her wedding is "out of control" as far as complications, guest list, and expense. All things she has complete control over. Oh and she's an artist, so it's not like she has an inflexible 48 hour a week time-suck of a career.
She viciously turns on her sweet fiance who had the utter gall to give her a fun jokey gift of muffin tins for a surprise extra gift for getting their marriage license. She sulks for days over this and almost cancels the wedding. She is petulant and unreasonable over everything. She selfishly and thoughtlessly disappears on her wedding day throwing her family and her fiance into a panic just so she can sulk some more.
The main lead, her sister, Shenae Grimes, arrives to save the day and while she is back home, dump her bad boyfriend, quit her engineering career as the head of design to become an auto-mechanic, and find a new boyfriend. Tyler Hines is as reliable and attractive as the new guy who has loved her since middle school.
The only thing I loved about this disaster was the bride's head dress which was gorgeous and very unusual. Yes, unfortunately for the groom, the wedding took place.
The band...
...is really good! This movie definitely has better music than you've come to expect from these kinds of movies.
Apart from that, the movie seemed a little phoned-in. Not bad, but not good either. I watch a lot of these, so I knew what to expect! Wouldn't re-watch.
