Movie #2071 ........................."The Wedding Veil" (Hallmark - oh no, not another one?)

 Movie #2071 "The Wedding Veil" (Hallmark - oh no, not another one?)  okay, I thought I was done for the season, but then I saw that three of my favorite women from the Hallmark cult films were in one movie!  NO way!  Yep, it is a wonder these three are together in one film....  Lacey Chabert, Alison Sweeney and Autumn Reeser (the fact that I just now could type all their names without looking them up but can't find my car keys is a wonder in itself, right?)  So I sat down to watch this and about halfway through, I think:  wait a minute.  The three were in the opening, but now it has just been about Lacey --- this can't be!  A trilogy?  So not only do I watch this one, but I get a bonus of 3 more hours (actually 2 hours and 48 mins Hallmark time)  to watch the other two in their single films!  Hazzah!  Okay, anyway, this one is Lacey's film -- the premise is a shared veil by these three female friends who take a trip yearly but stay close throughout the year (sound familiar?  like Traveling Pants --- the adult version? ) Thank god, though, there wasn't a scene with each one wearing the same pair of jeans and the audience trying to figure out how they all fit into one size....the veil, surprisingly would fit anyone.  The premise is that with the veil one finds true love --- oh, it is that simple?  Hopefully, they are selling copies of the veil on Amazon as I write this!  The couple the couple here is winsome --- that's no surprise because Lacey could probably talk to a wall and make that wall look good --- the story  easy to follow (esp. for us oldsters) ,the mixup is "unveiled" (get it?) at a good time, with a minor conflict that is believable and entertaining...... I just copied that from my notes and I can't for the life of me remember what the conflict was ---- my  head is too full of Hallmark movies I guess.  Anyway, I would give this a 4.  And the second part of the trilogy for anyone who cares is on Feb. 12 (oops, coming up) "The Wedding Veil Unveiled" --- I'd give this one a 4. Autumn Reeser, you're next!
