'The Wedding March' reviews
The Wedding March is an American-Canadian made-for-television romantic comedy film series starring Jack Wagner and Josie Bissett. The first film in the series, which aired on June 25, 2016, garnered 2.3 million viewers on its premiere and was the top-rated cable network program of the day.
Reviews for the film are mixed. On IMDb, the film has a rating of 6.3/10. Some viewers have praised the relationship between the two daughters, the charming chef character, and the gorgeous locations and settings. One review states that the film is "one of only two 2016 June Weddings films to be above average, though not a must".
However, others have criticised the dialogue as "canned" and "corny", and the ending as too neat. The most common criticism, however, is of Josie Bissett's wig, which many viewers found distracting and unrealistic. One reviewer states that the wig "spoiled a decent movie" for them.
