Slow moving bunch of utter nonsense, unrealistic even for the Hallmark Channel. What newly blended family begins calling the new parent Mom/Dad so soon? The stress normally found between the newly formed relationships was practically non-existent. It never got even the littlest bit messy. A total waste of good acting, in my opinion.
shareThis is hard to follow if you don't see the start of the movie. I'm confused who lives where!
I'm going to watch Inception now, that was easier to follow haha!
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something in your life-Winston Churchill
It gets tricky-it's like when are the kids acting and when is it their real feelings. It caught me off guard but I usually figure it out right away like when the kids had that dreadful argument and storm up the stairs. At least Lily calls the Mom coach. When the mom said to Tory-your dad is calling and Grandma Evie is in the background I'm thinking how is she feeling about her granddaughter referring to her new step dad as dad and Cindy referring to Tom as Dad to Tory. Grandma was already mixed up about her feelings enough.
shareYeah I noticed that. My husband died when my kids were small, and I never got married again. I almost married a guy once with 3 kids, and our kids already knew each other and got along great. However, if I had married him I would never expect any of his kids to call me mom or my kids to call him dad. I always hated that on the Brady Bunch. It kind of shows disrespect for the deceased or divorced parent.
shareI didn't get why the former mother-in-law was invited. Where was the former daughter-in-law's mother? Another thing I didn't get was Dixie Carter's character's last name was Baer. Why would the husband have a blended name consisting of his wife's first husband's last name & his own.... Baer-Noll??

The former mother in-law lost her only child. I also think her daughter in-law was an only child and she was close to her mother in-law. This film however was not about those things. Yes it could of been clearer on some MINOR things. It was still a very good film!
The bottom line in this film is that things change. We can keep certain traditions but we can also expand on them. By opening your mind and listening to what is important to other people is really a good message that films tells by "Showing and Not telling"
Don't miss this one!
