Hallmark announced via Deadline a new movie project coming later this year, titled ‘Wedding Of A Lifetime,’ starring Jonathan Bennett and Brooke D’Orsay.
This is the storyline via Crown Media: "Bennett (Mean Girls) and D’Orsay play an engaged couple who have been together since their days as high school sweethearts in a close-knit mountain town, but have found themselves in a rut and out of love. As Darby and Jake prepare to break the news of their separation to their families, they inadvertently find themselves entered in a “romantic relationship competition” hosted by a popular national daytime TV show after being nominated by the whole town. The grand prize is a televised, all-expenses-paid “wedding of a lifetime!” Though Darby and Jake are uncomfortable pretending they are still engaged, they decide to continue with the show. Neither of them wants to disappoint their family and friends, and being on the show could potentially give both their careers a boost. Will the charade end with Darby and Jake coming clean and going their separate ways, or will the competition rekindle their romance?"
*My Quick Take:
Sometimes the fake boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancé storyline, etc... can be cute, but sometimes, it can be annoying, too. (in my opinion) It's a story that has been done a lot. Maybe, too much. I mean, I still love A Boyfriend for Christmas, Holiday Engagement, Surprised by Love, etc... but it would be nice to see some original plot content in these new productions. I didn't see An Unexpected Christmas, but this storyline seems to be quite similar, with two exes pretending to still be involved.
Anyway, that's one of the new films that will premiere sometime later this year on Hallmark- before the Christmas movies begin in October.
Blessings on your day, Net
