Having lost some of their big stars lately I imagine Hallmark are more willing to listen to the whims and pet projects of their remaining ones.
So if Lacey Chabert wants to star and Exec produce a trilogy of 'Sisterhood of Travelling Pants' style wedding veil themed films then I imagine they sign the cheque very quickly.
And while this takes a bit of time to creak into life (possibly because they're trying to establish this film and the premise for the next two) this relaxes into being a good Hallmark film.
Chabert and her leading man Kevin McGarry could probably do this sort of thing in their sleep, but hold this all together well.
Lots has been said about how nice it is to see multiple Hallmark leading ladies appear in one film, but I can't really say that Alison Sweeney and Autumn Reeser added much more than any one of the normal 'Hallmark stock friend character actors' could have.
They will of course take turns now to be the lead in the next two instalments. It will be interesting to see how they play out.
