WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!!
It had a very slow start up! In the beginning scenes where the protagonist is in the kitchen with her fiancé, I really thought at first he was the gay best friend/roommate. He was far from being the right choice for that character! There was no chemistry between them and they just looked like an odd pair. Fast forwarding to the friend who was on a date-gone-wrong, that scene wasn't even necessary because it was already stated they had planned a trip together at Napa Valley. Therefore, it was already assumed that all the friends were going on the trip.
The scenery was pleasant, but not Tennessee by any means. Ohio maybe lol, but not Tennessee. I didn't like that they spent so much time and energy on the drunk girl scenes. It kinda of took away from the entire point of the movie. The ending was the worst of the worst though!
So, I was extremely disappointed by the ending. It was going so well, and I thought when she decided to go on with the wedding it would show her having "cold feet" and being uncertain. Then I REALLY thought that her ex, Ray was going to swoop in and save the day by "objecting" during the ceremony. I wanted to see this grown man walk down the isle while telling her he has loved her since the moment they laid eyes on one another at 6 years old, that he's missed her and never got over her, how he never dated anyone all those years because he couldn't get over her. Then, walk up, grab her hands and tell her he didn't want to live another minute without her. Fiancé gets mad and storms off, leaving them there at the alter. Then deciding there's no point in wasting a good cake and just get married right then and there, and then they live happily ever after in their small hometown. But that didn't happen! She married the fiancé and it was the weakest ending that did not leave me with any "feel-good feelings" whatsoever. The best part about this entire movie was the chemistry between Charlotte and Ray! They truly belonged together! Her fiancé was only concerned about her churning out another hit song and not about her happiness. I give this movie two thumbs DOWN.
