This film is a True Story based on actual events, focusing on Emma, her fiance Harry, and their 4 friends. The overlying theme is of a wedding that almost does not come to pass due to Harry's lack of planning! The main focus of these two characters and their friends centers on life in all it's beautiful and rich tapestry of colors. The story line is a masterpiece that flows skillfully and magically, with the actors and the Photography weaving their talent together in almost an effortless way. The scenery alone is worth taking the time out to watch this movie, but I am glad to say that the story and acting come together well.
This movie is a must for romantics, and definitely geared towards the female viewer. I can't stress how beautiful the photography is, and how it could be considered the co-star along with the leading actors in this movie. The Director masterfully weaves the sceneries with the emotions of the two main characters, Harry & Emma. Each time I watch the movie, I see subtle nuances in the filming that portray so many strong and beautiful emotions.
Ladies, get out the tissue boxes, prepare to cry, laugh and marvel through this movie, and revel in the message that lies beneath the whole story. It's a message of love, life and Hope at it's best. Don't let the lower ratings seen here deter you....It's a Wonderful Movie!
Enjoy!
