Haunted Wedding_1080P

Another Hallmark movie that was rushed out and running on the fumes of the final promised fall movie. What I thought was odd was that out of the new fall movies this year, this one was saved for last and was the weakest of all of them. The dialogue in the movie was boring and lifeless. The characters were the same. When the ghost girl appeared, it was ridiculous and over the top. Then later when the ghost guy appeared, it just got really cringeworthy with the cheesy centuries ago scenes and lines they were given to recite. Then it got even worse with the ghosts kissing. It was just another unnecessary movie banking on a mediocre pumpkin spice frenzy. The movie we didn't need. Please, just go to the light.

At first I had high hopes for this movie, something other than saving another business. The plot is about two ghost busters Brian and Jane who plan a wedding at a haunted Inn. A ghost appears named Angeligue, and she shares her story how her fiancée was killed before they had a chance to elope, therefore, she plans to do everything possible to stop the wedding. It turns out Brian is an ancestor and bears a remblance to Angelique's dead fiancée. Brian and Jane vow to help Angelique reunite with her dead fiancée for eternity. Bordome sets in as BOTH Angelique and the viewers watch the couple's fail in their attempts to rejoin the ghostly couple. The middle of this movie just horribly drags on. These attempts represent an attempt to add some comedy but the efforts fail miserably. The ending is very predictable and concludes with a classic hit song from the 70's. This movie is just a waste of your time.

As I watched Haunted Wedding, I couldn't shake the feeling that it resembled a 1990s Nickelodeon production. The characters are exaggerated and forced to deliver clichéd lines, the physical comedy seems aimed at children, and the paranormal elements evoke a nostalgic Goosebumps vibe. Overall, it felt overly simplistic and somewhat silly. Although basic and predictable narratives can work if the performances enhance the story, that wasn't the case here. While I appreciated Sherwood's dual roles, I found the main characters irritating, and the film was filled with stereotypes and unrealistic characters. I'm unclear about the intended audience, as the tone feels muddled. The film alternates between Angelique and Malcolm's dramatic Revolutionary-era romance and the present day, where the main characters are so preoccupied with ghosts that they forget about their wedding. While the movie has its sweet and silly moments, it ultimately comes off as frustrating and inconsistent, lacking a clear direction.

I went into this with very high expectations and the haunted house "tale" was awesome!!! The Pros.....I love anything about ghosts especially "Victorian" ghosts in beautiful haunted houses so this the reason I am giving it a 10 rating. Naming the beautiful ghost "Angelique" was a wonderful idea because of its nod towards Dark Shadows which was one of my all time favorite shows. Now for the cons.......the comedy was really BAD!!!! They put comedy in where it definitely did not belong. Should have just stuck to the romance ghost story type of movie. I know this was Hallmark and that is what they do but they just went WAY overboard on this one with the stupid "ghostbuster" guy. BUT it is what it is so just enjoy a fun spooky ride in this wonderful "haunted" month!!!!! Happy Halloween to all!!!!!
