You won't be disappointed!

Better Late Then Never

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This is the first review I have ever written but had to comment. I love hallmark movies but this was pathetic. The acting was atrocious. Could not even finish watching it was so bad.

Where to start with this schlock-fest? Casting was clearly aiming for a Goldie Hawn ditzy blonde effect but on a mini-budget. The main character mugged, screeched, huffed and puffed at maximum volume to the exclusion of any acting efforts. This woman was supposed to have a Columbia MBA and yet was such an airhead and kardashian-reject that she was a cartoon. A symphony of "WOOOO HOOO" acting. Left with absolutely nothing after 15 years of marriage because she signed an egregious pre-nup? Was she comatose? Then we have the other characters - the obligatory big-hearted Irish dad (Paddy? Seriously?), the lovable, street-smart black teenager, NUNS in HABITS, handsome rich French- English neighbor...it doesn't miss a cliché. Hallmark movies are all hopelessly corny but this one is such a ridiculous waste of time that it puts others to shame.

This Hallmark TV romantic comedy about how Kathryn Morris' husband dumps her for a twenty year old acupuncturist and she must move back in with her father at his bakery in Flemington NJ has some good performances going for it. Alastair Mackenzie is particularly amusing and knows how to take a comic fall. However, the occasional clangorous line like "Thank you for not selling out your daddy" prevent it from being much above average good.I am taken with Ms. Morris' performance as she goes from pampered upper-class lady to down-to-earth New Jersey girl. A lot of these Hallmark romcoms start by having their heroines starting out obnoxious to make their transformations more dramatic. This one gets you on her side immediately, by a brief, self-satisfied smile at her position and then plunges her into shocked incomprehension as her husband kicks her out, ameliorated by good comic bits. It's those bits that keep this one watchable throughout.

Oh, dear, where to start. First, a squealer (as well as a spoiler) warning.The heroine does a LOT of shrieking and squealing, usually accompanying pratfalls like sparking curling irons, runaway mixers, and cans of flour (who keeps an open can of flour on a top shelf?)falling on her head. There is the requisite bumbling but good-hearted father who helpfully washes a dress and it shrinks to the size of a doll costume. Who didn't see that coming? Then, of course there is the handsome, rich, available neighbor who is miraculously drawn to this dizzy blonde.There is nothing new here, nothing appealing, nothing interesting. Same formulaic drivel from Hallmark.
