PLOT:

Tia and Tamera Mowry star as twins Deanna and Danielle Warren, who, even though they may look alike, are anything but identical. When the two sisters plan their grandparents' re-commitment wedding, they start a little sibling rivalry to see who can settle down first and find the perfect boyfriend to bring to the blessed event. Soon enough, they unintentionally begin dating the same man, who believes they are one and the same person. Will true love win in this case of double trouble?

Movie Review:

Hmmmm..... this Movie was Interesting, Intriging, and Funny!

The Sisters were great to watch - especially in their scenes together.

I found it to be especially funny when they both decided to get "dates" for their Grandparents' Wedding... and they exclaimed to each other... "Game ON!" That was cute.

Objectionable content for family viewing: Language! There was some minor uses of unnecessary profanity. It was seldom, but not acceptable for young viewers. Also, the grandmother makes a comment that they can't have a three way (this is when she learns the girls are dating the same guy!) ... and the girls say - Grandma! - in a shocked tone - that emplies, that of course, that would never be acceptable. One off the girls tells the new guy she is dating that she wishes to take their relationship slow and states that she hasn't done this in the past - which led her to heartbreak. He is reluctant, but complies.

All in all, it was one of those cheesy Happy Ending Romantic Comedy Movies. There was a Double Wedding, of course, at the end with both Sisters... but I won't tell who ended up with who!

See, if you are planning a wedding or enjoy Tia & Tamera, since their "Sister Sister" Sitcom Days!

PLOT:

from Hallmark:

When the love of his life is too afraid to commit to

marriage, a desperate man’s wish will send him back ten

years to try again. With no time to spare, he will have to

rework history in order to ensure his future with the

woman he’s destined to be with.

Daylight savings time isn’t a big deal to George Muray (David Sutcliffe) after he sets time back ten years. When it comes to love, George is about to realize it’s all about timing. His girlfriend, Jane Gardner (Jennifer Westfeldt), can’t bring herself to marry again after Doug, her first husband, broke her heart. Desperate, George wishes he had met Jane before she married Doug, and the next thing he knows, he’s exactly there: Ten years earlier and just a few days before Doug and Jane’s wedding.

In a situation when every second counts, George has to rework some history in order to make sure Jane ends up with him and doesn’t make the same mistake twice. Jennifer Westfeldt and Lauren Holly costar in the time-twisting romantic comedy.

Movie Review:
I wasn’t sure about this one when I saw the promo of.. The guy going back in time to “get the the Girl” but I couldn’t help myself from instantly liking it. Maybe it was the characters or their witty conversations! I was laughing so hard… especially at how different life was in 1999 when George Murray went back in time to try to capture the woman who he knew was the love of his life, Jane.

There are a few cautions with this one, however. Jane’s friend, Mary, although misguided and laughable in her future predictions, often says things about being psychic. This didn’t bother me much due to the fact that she was very wrong in her ideas. Also, there are no sexual situations but an unmarried couple does fall asleep next to one another twice. There is a mention, however, that Jane’s first husband had a fling with the wedding planner.

Children will probably not be entertained with this one… and I don’t recommend this one for them. However, if you ever loved Back to the Future, Bridal Fever, or Father of the Bride… then this is the kind of movie you should easily love!

The best part of the movie is when George Murray and Mary are trying to catch Jane’s first husband in the act of cheating… but he overhears them and does not follow through with the fling as planned and George is perplexed as to why things didn’t replay now as they had in the past and Mary simply says – “Maybe he’s from farther in the future than you.” This line is so hilarious – I was laughing out loud so hard! The casting was great – the writing was superb! I loved it! Hopefully, you will, too!


See or Skip: See! It's a perfectly sweet Romantic Comedy!
