Kimberley Sustad is such a good actress! She's more talented and much more natural than other Hallmark leading ladies. A lot of her performance is in her facial expressions, gestures and body movements. She and Paul Campbell have great chemistry, although I find him a bit too serious at times. Their superb acting kept the story moving, and made Brooke and Nate's affection for each other believable. I loved the warm and mushy little act they put on for their friends at the football game! I was crushed over "the misunderstanding". I know Brooke and Nate are not real people, but I feel bad that their memories of Ginny and Greg's wedding day will be tainted by the sadness they both felt at the time! LOL
This movie was more layered than other Hallmark movies. We got a glimpse into the worlds of physical therapy and auto restoration, which were Brooke and Nate's professions. That was a new direction for Hallmark. Both characters had a relatable problem that needed fixing (her roof, his knee). They didn't use the dead spouse or parent trope that's so typical of Hallmark movies. The four weddings premise was unique. I was pleasantly surprised to see Brooke and Nate eating hors d'oeuvres at one of the weddings. Usually, Hallmark only shows children and obese people eating.
I'm very happy that they included a lesbian couple as one of the weddings. And we even got to see them kiss! It's about time! I look forward to the day when we see Hallmark romances blossom between same-sex, lead characters!
