Featured review
Not really worth saying yes to
2015 did see some good and more Hallmark films, such as 'Surprised by Love', 'A Country Wedding' and 'All of My Heart'. It did also see some duds, like 'Merry Matrimony', 'Love by the Book' and 'Portrait of Love'. The 2015 Countdown to Valentine's Day block was mostly a solid one, with 'All of My Heart' faring the best. The premise for 'So You Said Yes' left me feeling unsure, being unsure as to which way it would go between charming and fun or unbearably cheesy and irritating.
Unfortunately, 'So You Said Yes' is closer to the latter extreme, while not quite bad enough to be embodying it. It is one of only two disappointments in the 2015 Countdown to Valentine's Day block, the other being the marginally worse 'A Wish Come True'. 'So You Said Yes' is not quite one of the worst Hallmark films that year, but one of the best it most certainly isn't in my view. Not an awful film, but also not particularly good with a lot of bad things. Mediocre is the best way to describe it.
There are good things. Chad Willett does give an amiable and down to earth performance as a character that was easy to like up to a point. The other good performance, and the only performance of the supporting cast that stands out in a good way, is a fun Bruce Boxleitner.
Furthermore, it looks nice, especially the scenery, and the music is pleasant enough and doesn't feel too much in tone or placement. There are a few amusing moments.
'So You Said Yes' does have a lot of drawbacks however. Kellie Martin is much too neurotic, even in a role that is pretty all over the place, and it made her come over as very annoying. She also is too mature for a role clearly intended considering the writing for someone younger, and whenever she tries to look, act and sound younger it comes over as very artificial. Jennifer Dale does give it her all, but for me her character was really over-bearing, too domineering and pushy and it did unbalance the film. Did appreciate the attempts to develop her character, but it comes too late and feels too rushed and too suddenly introduced when spending so much of the film's length intensely disliking her. The rest of the cast fail to register in very sketchy roles.
Didn't detect any chemistry between Martin and Willett and also found them mismatched in personality. The relationship is underdeveloped and also underused, one remembers Dale's character's pushy antics and the increasingly neurotic whiny personality of Martin's one a lot more which is not a good one. The story is not a well written one at all, it is just too over the top ridiculous, very dully paced and too reliant on forced contrivances and convenient coincidences. Not to mention excessively predictable and too neatly and easily resolved. The dialogue never sounded natural, instead coming over as awkward, and the cheese really got too much.
All in all, mediocre though semi watchable as a curio. 4/10.
