Jesse Deserves Better

Before I address the quality of the movie, I'd like to let Darlene-Steve know that you did NOT hear what you think. The only thing that comes close to that, and what you must have misheard, is when Jesse says, "You'd have a fake name, of course! Raoul Credenza." Get your mind out of the gutter! (I'm teasing you - but no, he said nothing shocking.)This movie was a disappointment, but never have I seen a whole string of reviewers give a movie with Jesse Hutch a "1" rating. I may be awfully cynical, but I'm going to come right out and say it: Are a bunch of people from a rival channel on here giving a bunch of "1" reviews?? Just wondering.As to the movie, itself, the plot is a little outlandish, the writing isn't the best, it's really too unrealistic - but this can apply to many of these romances. I'm wondering if it was the director. Some of the actors - especially the insufferable sister! - play their roles as if they were in a farce. ("Haul Out the Holly" actually was a farce and - if you understood what a farce is - it was wonderful, hilarious, and the over-the-top acting was a natural fit for that movie.)Wedding Dreams, however, is not supposed to be a farce! Jesse is a splendid actor, and he seemed so subdued in this movie that I felt he was somewhat embarrassed. He probably knew it wasn't going well. The sister overacted terribly, and the actor playing Raoul did somewhat, as well. (Again, I question the direction.) I admit, the movie is especially hard to watch at first. It improves after the annoying sister disappears from the movie for a while.This movie will never make the "A" list, and honestly it barely makes the "C" list (Okay, maybe a "D.") But a whole bunch of "1" ratings? That seems very strange. To put it in perspective, I usually rate a movie at least a 6, and often an 8 or more. I'm giving it a 5, and if I were in a worse mood than I am I might have gone for a 4. But a 1? I don't believe that's accurate or fair for this effort.That said, it really won't hurt you if you skip this one, unless - as I do - you just love to watch Jesse Hutch perform in almost anything.

I'm being generous

I really like Rebecca dalton but she was so passive this whol movie. She got ran over by everyone else in the movie. She is a leading lady and needs to act like it. By everyone. She has a presence and Jesse Hutch is who he always is a solid p,Ayer. He is so in. The background that this movie loses.I wish for better from GMAC than what this is the Susie Abromeitmovie is way better. I wanted this to be better I really like Rebecca dalton but this missed the mark. She has been really good in her movies but this one isn't her. Notsure she was the star but whop,ayedher sister was excellent for the most part.It's a shame these reviews have to be so long as it's not worth extra words because being direct without spoilers makes the most sense.I will say Jesse hutch was better in this than the one with Vanessa Lengines who could have been better.

Rebecca Dalton & Jesse Hutch Make This Movie Work

"Dream Wedding" 2023 GFAMNo movie is as bad as many of the reviews here made this out to be, It was not a truly great movie, but it certainly did not deserve the cornucopia of insulting adjectives thrown at the writers, directors, cast, and final product as was done here.What we have here is a different type of story, and perhaps that threw off those who were expecting the typical rom-com with tried and true tropes. "Dream Wedding" wasn't one of those movies. Instead it was an attempt to put Rebecca Dalton and Jesse Hutch together despite many obstacles placed there by other people and circumstances. The movie was about two sisters who enter and win a wedding contest--wedding related prizes, a fancy honeymoon, etc. But one must be engaged to enter, of course. Reviewers criticized Dalton's character, Kate, for "lying" about her engagement status--she was not. But Kate was obviously browbeaten by her sister Megan, played by Crista Taylor Brown, who was engaged, and who also clearly had a duplicitous streak, and who knew she could manipulate her sister to give her the prizes. So manipulate she did. So who was the bad guy?Jesse Hutch, playing a photographer, gets involved in the "scam." At first we're not sure if he's just being helpful to the sisters by offering to take wedding photos, or is interested in Dalton, but one suspects the latter. As Megan insisted that Kate get a fake fiance--Hutch helps arrange it. Both Dalton and Hutch's characters are low key, and so much happens around them that they are not really controlling things in this story. There is a tendency for the viewer, at least there was for me, to feel sorry for them. Dalton's sister Megan, Dalton's fake fiance played by Geoff Shangh (a real goofball I thought), and a random woman (not sure which actress played her) from the wedding contest the sisters won (actually Kate won) who was trying to beat the prizes out of the sisters. Even the parents of the sisters, who were not in on Megan's scam, put enormous pressure on Kate. And the fact that Megan was in fact getting married soon and wanted all the prizes which, again, were actually won by Kate...well, Kate just could not say no to her sister.I won't get into the end game, here. I enjoyed it. I thought Dalton and Hutch were well cast to end up together. There wasn't a long slow build-up as in many rom-coms--to which I attribute all the pressure Dalton was under--but as in all romance films, all's well that ends well.
