June in January (2014)

Excellent but underrated film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

...with its virtues and sins. nice, seductive, familiar, boring. predictable in large lines. and nothing surprising. that is all. no new things, an exercise of war between the women from the life of a young man, moral lesson and not credible situations. and a new sort of modern fairy tale, perfect for a precise target, nice for many of its viewers.

Wow......Hallmark is literally my FAVORITE channel on Comcast! So much so that my husband makes fun of me for watching all the "corny" movies. I never care what he thinks because I absolutely LOVE the Hallmark movies! I think they are sweet and poignant and I totally love them.........UNTIL!!!!!! UNTIL I came across this movie, June in January!! It's a lovely enough movie but there is a scene where the main character and her fiancé are running through the park and she is telling him how she thinks his mother doesn't like her and that she is sure she had someone better in mind for her son to marry than a nurse" and he said, "ya but you're a Nurse Practioner" and she says, "oh like your mom knows the difference?" WTF??? Like being a nurse isn't prestigious enough?!! Now we all have to be Nurse Practitioners to be recognized?? I am a Registered Nurse and I went to school for 4 years to be one. I make more money than a lot of CEO's of companies and that is coming from a "head hunter" who used to find jobs for CEO's! I find that whole scene BEYOND offensive to all my fellow Registered Nurses and I am thoroughly disgusted with Hallmark that you allowed such a scene to be put in one of your movies. How dare you! I have worked so long and hard in my career and frankly most nurses I know blow doctors away with their intellect and saviness!! Anyway....I had no idea where to direct my anger, so I chose to display it here on IMDb! Thanks to anyone who got this far in the review! I appreciate you reading my post!Ps....I don't also mean to put down doctors because there are so many wonderful docs who deserve our admiration. peace,Lisa :)

Leave it to Hallmark to totally sweeten down a great plot. A wealthy woman practically conspires with her secretary to prevent the former's son from marrying a girl she feels to be totally unsuitable for him.Marilu Henner steals the show as the conniving mother with a cold veneer. I thought they would have made her as cruel as a Bette Davis could be.Our bride-to-be, a lovely girl, had always planned with her mother what type of wedding she would have down to every last detail. With her mother dying, the girl still wants it the way she planned and her future mother-in-law use that to her advantage to plan everything instead, especially when the marriage has to be moved up as the groom has accepted a high job in an extremely prestigious law-firm.There's the girl's widowed dad with his new girlfriend, reading the letter that her mother sent. There is the assistant as vicious as ever.Henner does a total double-take when she sees she is overwhelmed. The secretary, who is fired, plans one last act of revenge. Remember, this is Hallmark, so all must end with a sugary taste.

Another in a long line of boring, predictable pap. Nothing new, nothing that cannot be figured out in the first 10 minutes.Perky bride has the requisite dead mother who encouraged her daughter to have a lifelong obsession with her wedding day. In the cast: supportive father (naturally), evil mother-in-law-to-be that sees the error of her ways and does at 180 and embraces the new daughter-in-law in the nick of time, vindictive wannabe girlfriend who is so obvious in her deceit that she might as well be wearing a neon sign, and two totally chemistry-free lovers. Obligatory crisis occurs in the last 10 minutes and is solved in mere seconds and this mess is blessedly over.And yet again they film in a location that expects a suspension of belief with the premise that the entire wedding will be ruined because it's January instead of June and "too cold for roses" and yet every tree is fully leafed out. Apparently Hallmark has no budget for anything but the same tired studio back lot.Don't waste your time. You've seen it all before about 50 times.
