Movies #3110 ........................."Wedding Bells" (Hallmark)

 Movie #3110 "Wedding Bells" (Hallmark)  Another Danica McKellar one I haven't seen so I made sure to see it this time --- I was never excited about the guy -- he looks like another one that I'm not crazy about either, but as time went on with the film, I noticed she made him look better with her bounciness and authenticity.  It was also nice to see her with her favorite dad  Bruce Boxleitner (from the Matchmaker mysteries).  But this time he is the owner of the inn and ironically, the father of the guy she will end up with.  Surprisingly, she has as many scenes with him and he does with his son (the lead) so that was fun to watch the two of them together again, too.  Otherwise, not much new here --- both leads don't believe in long lasting love because it brings hurt along with it (surprise!?) and they are left alone to fix up his dad's inn so they can furnish a wedding for their best friends.  There's one twist in it that you can see coming from a mile away, so same old, same old, as far as Hallmark stories.  One thing I liked was the song at the end --- it suited the end scene (which we have seen over and over and over again in these Hallmark movies) -- so hooray for a song ("This will be" - Natalie Cole)  to life this limp film up by its boot strings!  3.5 out of 5.
