    I was looking forward to watching this movie. I have liked everything that I have seen Antonio Cupo in. The leads were all wrong! To have a 50+ plus woman have a 13 yrs. younger boyfriend and then started a relationship with a 15 yrs. younger man just didn't seem right in this movie. In some cases it would be okay but not in this case. Antonio Cupo is a hunk and can pass for much younger, whereas Lisa Whelchel looks older than she is---and those suits and shrill voice! Please! All wrong! A disappointment all the way through! Lisa came through as a control freak---even ended up planning their wedding so the young couple didn't even have a say in that.

    Started off well but somehow unrealistic what with such a young Lawyer having eyes for a frumpy much older woman. Whilst their kids at 22yrs of age seem so sure about marriage having dropped out of college seems a far stretch on the imagination the shocker was despite this, both parents of said kids also have a thing for each other...........eewwww!! No matter the chemistry felt, the minute they discovered that their kids were sleeping together and preparing to get married should have nipped that relationship in the bud very quickly. It is totally inconceivable and sick on every level to think the children are married then the parents are dating or perish the thought, get married. I can just hear them with guests at the dinner table. Meet my stepson/son-in-law or meet my step-daughter/daughter-in law. Who comes up with these nonsense.

    Hallmark produced another delightful family movie, which I enjoyed from beginning to end. That is why I gave it a big 10. I would see this movie over and over.What could be better than a wedding planner doing business next to a divorce attorney? The story evolves into a love relationship between the two owners trying to guide their children in life who are planning to marry. The script was totally imaginative, comical and exciting. The acting was perfect and heartfelt. The only concern I had was that Wendy was much older than Marco. Marco was handsome and charming, but I think he was too young for Wendy. The happy ending was the icing on the cake.

    So I'm flipping through the channels and I see a commercial for a Hallmark TV movie that reunites Blair and Tootie from The Facts of Life. Naturally I had to see it. The story is about a wedding planner (Lisa Whelchel) who's not happy about a divorce attorney (Antonio Cupo) setting up shop next door to her business. Things get more complicated when Lisa's son shows up with his new fiancée, who just so happens to be Antonio's daughter. Neither parent is crazy about the relationship, believing the kids are rushing into things. But gradually they learn to accept it and also start to fall for each other.There is one spoilery thing I wanted to address. I don't think this is a huge spoiler given how these sorts of movies are but consider yourself warned anyway. At the end of the movie the son and daughter marry while the mother and father kiss, signaling the beginning of their relationship. So basically if the two parents ever marry, that would mean their kids would become siblings. But they're married too. So Lisa's son would be married to his stepsister and Antonio's daughter to her stepbrother. Seemed kind of odd they involved this incestuous element when it really wasn't necessary to the story.It's nice to see Lisa Whelchel acting again. I liked her on Facts of Life and I liked her on the season of Survivor she did. I'm a child of the '80s, so sue me. Kim Fields plays Lisa's best friend and business partner. Her role is to basically say sassy things and encourage stuffy Lisa to' get some.' You get the picture. The rest of the cast is kind of generic but nobody was particularly bad. There's a ceiling on how good this could have been, given the fact that it's a made-for-TV movie. Honestly, it wasn't that great. If it wasn't for Blair and Tootie, I doubt I would have finished it. If you're a Facts of Life fan, by all means check it out. Everybody else, I guess it depends on if you generally like these sorts of movies. If you do, then you'll probably like it a bit more than I did.
