    • Trivia
      The young lady, who steals Hillary's wedding dress in the store, was played by Jennifer Elise Cox, who played Jan Brady, in the first two Brady Bunch movies that starred Shelley Long.
    • Goofs
      When Hillary and David are discussing wedding plans with Father Macy, David reveals he is Jewish. Father Macy says he will not be able to perform the wedding and Hillary says that David will convert. The Catholic Church has allowed interfaith couples to get married in a church ceremony for decades without the need for the non-Catholic partner to convert.
    • Quotes

      Sophie: Dude, that man is a serious snag.

      Hillary Burns: I know, I know.

      Sophie: His on-line dating profile would be so perfect, no one would believe it: "Tall, dark, handsome lawyer who's responsible and financially sound." Please!

      Hillary Burns: And I finally have a man to take home for the holidays. I don't have to listen to my mother preach to me about how I'm gonna be a spinster, or a lesbian.

      Sophie: Or both.

    Good concept but horrid writing
    When I heard the concept it I remembered me of a blockbuster film that came out several years before this one that did very well...but this one, with the weird set up, the overly judgmental mother and lack luster acting...

    This is becoming a staple of Hallmark films the past 5 years or so. For every good film there's like 10 bad ones, and this one was bad.

    In the end it wasn't even worth using as background noise because every time I would hope the scene I wanted was gonna get better...it got worse. Only ONE good scene in the whole film, took near the end of the film... wasn't worth it.
