Bridal Wave (2015)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Let's be realistic.

Awesome Movie

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I didn't know the Groom's mother was Jaclyn Smith (One of the original Charlie's Angels). I wish I would have recognized her when I was watching the movie. The guy who played Luke is cute too! My favorite part of this movie is when the Bride said to her Groom 'We don't have what most people who are in love have'. I knew she meant a romance and flame....well, he was married to his profession. Thanks Hallmark for a cute flick!

I watched this movie purely because I saw that Arielle Kebbel and Andrew Walker were together again. Like every girl who saw it, "A Bride for Christmas" is one of my favorite Hallmark romances. While it wasn't as good as their previous movie together, "Bridal Wave" was still a really good effort.Arielle was, as ever, a strong female lead, and she made the audience sympathize with her. Her character was sweet and dependable, yet she had the right amount of spunk to combat Andrew's character. While I hated the buzz cut that Andrew Walker was sporting, he was still charming and funny, and I really liked how he came to see something in Arielle's "Georgie". The penultimate confrontation made me laugh and I really enjoyed how the movie ended. It wasn't cliché which was a breath of fresh air.The gorgeous surrounding scenery was also a plus. Well done, Hallmark.

The good: The scenery is wonderful and I'd love to see it in person.The bad: pretty much everything else. If you couldn't figure out the ending in the first ten minutes, you've never seen one of these insipid Hallmark movies.Every character was a caricature, the work-possessed fiancé, the evil mother-in-law to be, the perky heroine at odds with her future, the too-good-to-be-true hero (her soul mate, naturally) and the cutesy mom and pop. And all of this overlaid with nonstop, constant, loud, cutesy music. There isn't five minutes of this flop that has silence in it. Hasn't anyone at Hallmark heard the expression "less is more"?This is 2 hours of my life I will never get back. What a waste.

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.
