A Christmas Wedding Date (2012) watch online HD

I have watched a lot of Christmas movies in the last month and honestly this was one of the worst so far; I can't believe the rather well known cast members agreed to be in it. It is basically a very poorly done remake of Groundhog Day. The characters were barely developed and I didn't care about any of them. So much of this movie was just plain stupid and annoying, from the miscast lead, to the way-too-good-looking ex boyfriend, to the undeveloped plot, to the unanswered questions. The causes for the behaviors of the characters were never even explained, just a lot of vague innuendo...what a mess. Basically I wish I had the two hours back.

Combining various elements of Groundhog Day with other Christmas themes could be a cute idea, but these filmmakers just didn't want to put in the work. The spotty script didn't deliver either a solid plot or clever dialog. And if it had, there is no evidence the actors would have taken advantage of it. The movie is not just miscast, but the director seems to have made no effort to get everyone on board. At times the characters are understated, and at others way over-the-top, giving the film an uneven flow. It is also difficult to invest much feeling in the characters. Marla Sokoloff's Rebecca is generally mean, her would-be boyfriend is a handsome dishrag, and the supporting cast are all caricatures. Catherine Hicks came closest to rising above the foam, but they didn't give her much to play with. The movie in not completely unwatchable, having a few good moments, but for a plot that relies on magic, it has way too little.

I love Marla Sokoloff, and the cast is all nicely chosen here, but the script and the directing just leave something to be desired. The entire affair feels gauzy, which isn't a surprise for a Hallmark movie, but underneath that there should still be some substance. In this case it just feels like they started with a mood they wanted to create and half-heartedly filled in whatever would produce that mood, without working much on details like whether any of it made sense. (Lots of it does, but there are some head-scratchers too.)

Honestly, it felt like a sleepwalk, emotionally. The key revelations which play a central part in the story barely made any emotional impact at all on the people involved. So the chance for some real acting to intrude on our gauze-fest was mostly wasted -- just about entirely wasted, in the case of the revelation about the past history of the main characters. Shame.

Still, it wasn't a bad way to spend a little time, if you like this kind of sappy movie. There are some fun moments, and I never get tired of watching Marla. 5/10 for me.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM VERY FARE.

This is the third or fourth film that not only a rips-off of "Groundhog Day" but also rips off other rip-offs of "Christmas Theme Groundhog Day Films".

This is a creative bomb. There is nothing unique about this film. The film not only waist the talents of the actors they also could of had a unique film had the lead been OLDER and perhaps been cast with Catherine Hicks in that role instead of pushing her into "The Mother Role" in which she has very little to do. In fact her part is thin and not very essential to the film. Truth is that all her scenes should of been cut. Something tells me her part was shoehorned into a thin script.

My problem with lead actress (Marla Sokoloff) is that she is miscast as a ball buster. She comes across as someone who would be the secretary of a ball-buster who is secretly in love with the boss. Here she is the boss who gets fired on the eve of returning to her hometown to see her high school friend getting married.

Now of course our protagonist is a very flawed and for this she must relive the same day over & over again until she finally learns not to be "Nice".

Maybe had this film been cast with older (or better) actors it would of been more convincing!

There is plenty of "GOOD FAMILY SAFE" Christmas theme films. This is not one of them. If this is playing on an airplane you will more entertained by reading the instructions on a vomit bag!

I thought this movie that showed on ION was really cute. The movie is about a guy and a girl who reunite years later at a wedding. I thought the movie was cute and I like the actress Maria Sokoloff (The Flower Girl). Some parts were predictable but I like romance Christmas movies, and this is one of my favorites this year. She also tries to become close to her estranged mother who she has ignored for years. I like how she realizes things are not really up to her and can't force things to happen, which I liked about the movie. If anyone find or knows where I can get the song "Come on Let's find a way" played towards the end of the movie - it's sung by a guy and a girl, please let me know! Thanks!

Rebecca is a Wall Street big shot who arranged a big merger involving her firm--and worked herself out of a job. No problem. She's so good at her job she can get a new one just like that. Except no one wants to interview her until after the holidays. Seriously? Christmas has no practical purpose.

Rebecca's best friend Allison from back home in Santa Mira, California calls, wondering if Rebecca will attend Allison's Christmas Eve wedding. Okay, she has nothing else to do. Rebecca goes home but isn't looking forward to being with her mother Shirley. They don't get along, and Rebecca lost her father some years ago and wasn't really there for her mother.

A mysterious cab driver, well played by George Wendt (who has several roles), gives Rebecca a magical Christmas ornament. Rebecca tries to spend time with her mother, but Shirley has to run her diner. People with no place to go at the holidays need her. Shirley is not the problem in the relationship. Rebecca is.

Rebecca goes to the wedding but is annoyed on the way there by a "girl scout" selling cookies and a man trying to get people to go skating. At the wedding, bridesmaid Jennifer has lost weight and enhanced her chest. Maid of honor Molly is still blonde, gorgeous and nasty. The best man forgot the ring. Tyler is an usher and a jerk. Rebecca's ex Chad, another usher, was the football star and is now a chef, but can he and Rebecca restart their relationship? Supposedly he cheated with Molly.

The day is a disaster for Rebecca, and all she wants to do is get on a plane Christmas Day and go back home. But when she wakes up the next day, it is Christmas Eve--again. Rebecca knows what will happen but can't take advantage. That's okay. It happens again. And again. How many times can it happen? Will Rebecca learn to straighten out her life? One way to take advantage is to do frivolous and even risky activities, knowing they will not have lasting consequences.

Marla Solokoff is so good here. The character is pleasant enough most of the time, but eventually she is really nice. But I liked her best when she was having a good time, knowing she would not gain weight or have to pay for huge purchases on her (former) company's credit card, or spend time in jail. Her efforts to improve herself and get her man are really enjoyable.

Chris Carmack is good enough, and he even sings, but not well enough for me to believe he will be a big country star.

Catherine Hicks does a great job as Rebecca's mom.

There is plenty of good Christmas music, but also a lot of what I consider junk.

This is no masterpiece but it is a pleasant and even funny fantasy for the holidays.

First of all, I enjoyed this movie. I've seen it now three times, and it's not a great movie (are any of these Christmas movies "great?"); it falls far behind "Christmas Kiss" and "A Perfect Christmas List" and about even with "Back to Christmas."

Still, it a nice cast - George Wendt is interesting as the ghostly cab driver, and Marla of course gives her all, which is very much indeed. So for the cast and story, I'd recommend it.

On the other hand, the direction is unimaginative (drab, actually) and the editing draws several scenes out way too long. It's as if they felt they had to hit us over the head with emotional tug, or didn't really have sufficient scenes written to fill in the length.

I do want to say that I have to thank Hallmark for helping to finance and distribute these films, and ION for running them also. It's much better watching than a lot of other junk the TV stations offer.

This movie felt like someone said "how can we copy Groundhog Day" and yet be different. Walking down the street before the wedding had the same feel as GHD but with different people and events. Learning new talents - again, same feel, but different talents. Same with doing good deeds. I absolutely love GHD as shown by how often I've watched it. I really don't see watching this movie again.

Like Bill Murray's Phil, Rebecca was obnoxious and even a bit mean. But she wasn't the only one so the annoying meter was dialed up a bit high. Yet there were a number of funny moments. And of course a love story.

As cute as this may be all it is, is a twisted version of Groundhog Day. As usual another fake remake of an original. I guess writers have no new ideas these days.

Really enjoyed the cast, enjoyed the story line.The main character grows which I like and gets into trouble without the consequences, but at the same time learns her loved ones don't want her in trouble.She grows,matures and realizes that she can even let herself care and grow and starts to improve herself, think of others,learns to be kind and loving. Wish George was just a person who has an interest in her and can interrupt her life by warning her. Enormously happy that the theme is around how the past people intertwine as a new group. that the theme is not really crissmassy since there are a lot of dumb bits of Xmas silly movies. love how the main character later leaves the scene of the immature acts that the best man should have stopped. glad the cheating with molly is cleared up. Love her former/presentj boyfriend. He is wonderful and patient with her antics. And glad they are marrying.

Of all the "restart from checkpoint" movies I've watched - the OG version: Groundhog Day, the war version: Edge of Tomorrow, the growing-up-and-maturing version: Premature, the Valentine version: I Do, I Do, I Do, the other Christmas version: The Twelve Dates of Christmas - this is the one by far I liked the best. Man, Master Sokoloff killed it here. The story was obviously fairly cliché yet somehow it still struck cords with me even after all these years and times. The comedy tone of this movie was tuned so high for a holiday movie that I once thought this belonged on April's Fools, not Christmas or Valentines'. I got lots of laughs over several parts of this movie. Loved how these folks enjoyed the "restart from checkpoint" function Fate had provided them, and the hilarity they causes. Boy, that was fun. Maybe I was just a big sucker for all these stories, but I enjoyed every nano-bit part of them. Although my people here in China doesn't all celebrate Christmas - maybe some of them even boycott it, on behalf of all open-minded younglings with kind-heart and tactical mind, wish all the world a merry Christmas whenever the time arrives, and may the Cupid's arrows always aim true and find their marks.
