A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I watched this film because I found the story of a young woman, jilting her beau and going on a journey of self-discovery--with her flamboyant sister no less--would present interesting conflict. If this was a vanity project for Shelley Long, she needs a long look in the mirror, because instead of a worthwhile story, what the viewer gets is a formulaic, meandering 99 minutes that ends predictably, but could have been so much better with a few tweaks. The problem is underscored by the movies ending, when Millie--the runaway bride--has her epiphany, which comes with such a suddenness that it seems as if the writer centered the entire premise around that one scene. Two, the grandmotherly advice given (Shelly Long) at the end would have better served both Millie and Ellen (her sister) had it been imparted before the sisters hit the road; in this way, it would have given a believable reason for the sisters' on-the-road conflict. However, the film does offer two solid performances by the sister, played by Emman Bell (whom viewers might remember as Amy Harrison on The Walking Dead) and Hope Lauren. But Long comes up short as the sage grandmother, and the men are cookie-cutter softies and horn dogs whose presence is largely irrelevant. In short, the film comes off as out of sequence and a waste of time unless you literally have nothing better to do than waste an hour and a half.

I enjoyed this movie. It takes place in the heartland complete with farms, chickens, country roads and great characters. I was amazed how the story about two sisters finding friendship again with the help of Shelley Long, their grandmother, was so well done. The movie is a fun story that will capture you from the start and the cinematography and beautiful settings really add to each scene. I thought all the actors were allowed to give it their all in this movie from the main characters, Hope Lauren and Emma Bell, to the smaller roles including parts by Shelley Long, yes the famous Ms. Long from Cheers, and Sterling Knight from my Disney days. I really liked the story of this movie as it was not your classic film with female leads, the females in this movie were strong characters and you wanted to follow their story. I am a huge fan of Darlingside and was pleasantly surprised they were able to get that level of music throughout this film. Well done. Would watch again.

Emma Bell and Hope Lauren's portrayal of sisters Millie and Emma's tumultuous relationship is purely delightful. The film, set mostly in the mid-west is warm, charming and relatable. Given a bigger budget and longer to tell the story I think this film could have been a cult hit. It left me smiling and wanting more from the two main characters. A perfect easy watch for a Sunday afternoon.

Relationships are complicated and so are people, whether they are friends or siblings. But we need them both. When i watched this movie i more or less felt the same. As we have seen in various movies were the bride is desperate to get married and the groom has the cold feet. But here it is the other way around.Though the genre is comedy, i didn't felt any. There is no real emotion or a punch line that you would expect. I think its tries to explore the relationship between sisters rather than the marriage or following ones need, but i don't know how far it has succeeded on that part.Over all i give this movie a 5 for not being boring, watch it if you want to kill some time. All other aspects of the movie is fine i guess.
