A Christmas Wedding Tail (2011)

I must admit that I watch any Jennie Garth movie or show. In this movie she meets her next husband through both their dogs. Now both the man (Brad Rowe)Jake and Jennie meet when both their dogs run off lead and everyone runs into each other. Now in this film both have lost their significant other due to death. Actually a nice touch over the usual divorce scenario. Jennie has three boys and Jake has two girls although the oldest might as well be a boy. She is one tough girl in sports. So you have a couple of the kids who are not happy about the upcoming wedding but oh well. Then Jennie gets an offer to be head curator at a New York museum before the wedding. She tries to get Jake to move with her to NYC. Gee guess that won't happen since he won't leave the winery that he owns. During all this the two dogs have fallen in love(?), oh and they talk at least on camera, it is a feel good movie after all. The five kids end up having a meeting/conference and decide to help the wedding take place. The kids appeal to Santa, well a Santa, to get the job done. At a town center celebration the kids push the two together in an effort to get them back together. While they dance they come to an agreement and Jennie decides to stay in the wine town. It is a typical Yule time movie where it all turns out for the better.

Could this movie BE any worse? I think not. A story we've already seen like a million times before, lines that we've heard in a million other films. Nothing original, no actual plot, and the acting is so superficial. I mean, it feels like they're reading the screenplay all along. The only one who didn't suck as much as the others was Tom Arnold. The movie has cliché written all over it from the beginning. The only reason I watched this movie was because of Jennie Garth. I hadn't seen her in a movie in a long time, and I expected to be blown away (now I wonder how I could ever have such an awful idea). I kept waiting for a twist,but no, it was the same crap we see in a lot of American movies all over again. BORING. All in all, the worst hour and a half spent in watching a movie in the history of watching movies.

The actors are great. We have grown up watching these actors in television shows and made for TV movies. The idea is good. Two dogs meet as do their widowed owners. He has children. She has children. No, it isn't Bradyesque but it could have been. The story is boring. We had expectations of more comedy, more family fun and more calamity. The storyline could have been so much better. Talking dogs have made good movies in the past and as the narrators of this "tail" humor could have been injected easily. This is somewhat of a Doris Day style movie but again it lacked the fun. It is a little to cute, a little to perfect, a little to yawn. We love Christmas movies and Hallmark has some of the best but I just wouldn't waste the time to watch this again.

I love this movie. the casting was wonderful and gives you a very happy feeling when you watch the movie. I would recommend this movie to everyone to watch The children and the movie is funny, wonderful and just plan family time watching. If you like dogs this movie also has a very funny plot with 2 dogs. It is a movie of love friendship and combining 2 families.It shows how you cope with issues within 2 families and how not to take these issues too seriously. I love Jenni Garth she has grown into such a wonderful actress and you can tell that she liked making this movie.Her mother is such a great actress They could not have put together a better cast I do not think that other actors could have done such a wonderful job brining this family together.
