June in January (2014)

June in January is another Hallmark chick flick which comes out with a cookie cutter plot and some bland but good looking leads and a small budget.Alex is a rising lawyer and from a wealthy family. June always planned a dream wedding with her late mother in June. However a job in another city means that they bring forward the wedding to January and have only a few days to plan the wedding. The cog in the wheel is Alex's mother (Marilu Henner) who has her own wedding agenda and shuts out June, she is aided by her new assistant who carries a torch for Alex.Alex takes little interest in the wedding planning, eventually realises that her mother is domineering and he is at risk of losing his bride. After a brief showdown, the mother eventually has a change of heart.The film is breezy and inoffensive. Its also very predictable and not very good. The director shows little flair, the script is by the numbers.

This is by far my favorite movie. Some call it a Chic Flick , I say "man wants it all." For Alex (Wes Brown) lawyer and rich, has decided to take his career in a different direction. That's great for him, but a time frame had set a few problems. The woman in his life June (Brooke D'Orsay) who he proposed to on New Year's Eve, was quite easy or so it seems. June was going to have her dream wedding in June. Well since Alex had a time frame on his job June's big wedding would be squashed and now it turned to a small wedding. So June sprung into action. Alex had a "to do list". But since his Mother (Marilu Henner) wanted it her way. Shut June out and cause any trouble she can. June had a hard time fitting in, so called the wedding off. She had her say and Alex had a few choice words for his Mom. June had some advice from her Mom, (who Passed away), said if you love Alex then get married. So the wedding was back on. The wedding was beautiful, and it seems Alex did get his way. It was good to see Wes Brown in a mature role. He did good. Brenda.

Wow......Hallmark is literally my FAVORITE channel on Comcast! So much so that my husband makes fun of me for watching all the "corny" movies. I never care what he thinks because I absolutely LOVE the Hallmark movies! I think they are sweet and poignant and I totally love them.........UNTIL!!!!!! UNTIL I came across this movie, June in January!! It's a lovely enough movie but there is a scene where the main character and her fiancé are running through the park and she is telling him how she thinks his mother doesn't like her and that she is sure she had someone better in mind for her son to marry than a nurse" and he said, "ya but you're a Nurse Practioner" and she says, "oh like your mom knows the difference?" WTF??? Like being a nurse isn't prestigious enough?!! Now we all have to be Nurse Practitioners to be recognized?? I am a Registered Nurse and I went to school for 4 years to be one. I make more money than a lot of CEO's of companies and that is coming from a "head hunter" who used to find jobs for CEO's! I find that whole scene BEYOND offensive to all my fellow Registered Nurses and I am thoroughly disgusted with Hallmark that you allowed such a scene to be put in one of your movies. How dare you! I have worked so long and hard in my career and frankly most nurses I know blow doctors away with their intellect and saviness!! Anyway....I had no idea where to direct my anger, so I chose to display it here on IMDb! Thanks to anyone who got this far in the review! I appreciate you reading my post!Ps....I don't also mean to put down doctors because there are so many wonderful docs who deserve our admiration. peace,Lisa :)

Brooke D'Orsay is getting married to Wes Brown in only a few weeks and she has a wedding to plan. She turns into Bridezilla and freaks out when future mother-in-law Marilu Henner tries to help because not every detail is just as she imagined it would be.This is a movie quite evidently aimed at women. Mr. Brown doesn't care about the details of their wedding and neither do I. This makes Miss D'Orsay's mania obnoxious. Since I did not care about Miss D'Orsay, I do not care about the details of her wedding, Mr. Brown's is a handsome but rather bland character and even the old pros don't give me much of interest, even though they turn obnoxious in order to give some sense of dramatic conflict to the movie.By the time that happens and the inevitable crisis occurs, I had lost interest and expect that every man whose girlfriend makes him watch will do likewise. I also believe that a lot of women who believe that a wedding is a nice party and that it's the marriage that counts will feel the same.
