Interesting movie with fun twists, my husband even watched this with me and enjoyed it. It was romantic as well as having a clever plot that made you want to keep on watching.
My Movie Review of this Movie
This movie is about a dress that gets misplaced because some guy decides to steal a car to impress a girl that he has fallen for. Once he finds out that stealing a car is not going to win her hearts desires he gets rid of everything including the dress. The next place the dress goes to is a woman who needs wedding dresses to do an auction. By that time the dress has been torn to shreds and so this woman decides to fix the dress the way she wants it to be fixed and redoes the whole pattern. Last but not least it ends up at a house where the mother of this girl who is in love with Neal Patrick Harris's character and she ends up taking back the dress to him all back to it's orginal glory. While you watch this movie you find out that the way the dress started out with bad luck because her fiancee dies it ends up being very very good luck for the three people who where encountered with the dress. When I first saw the movie and the dress I instantly fell in love with both.
WONDERFUL TRAIL OF A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESS!
The opening to the movie of a beautiful bride expecting her love to return home from WW2 only to lose him is enough to move one to tears.
Was Travis the descendent of Mary? the sister.
Poor Travis, he sure picked a lemon. But I did enjoy her exposure of selfishness. Only now he has lost Zoey.
Then his car is stolen with the "Dress" in it. Only to make an impression on the thief's girl-friend and him.
How does the Doctor's fiancee find the "Dress"? Which leads to the couples sacrifices for each other. Ow! and the coffee spill. I was glad that the crook that the "Dress" got sold to did not enjoy any benefits from the "Dress's" blessing.
Then the "Dress" gets mixed up in the donations to the hospital charity through the original theif - and Madeline finds out that her husband is a crock. The turkey comes back and messes up relationship with her hunk. She is a landscape artist who finds love with this very attractive hunk.
By the time Joan [Tyne Daly] gets the dress [it was intended for a costume company] and paints it, it has been remodeled. Yet she finds love with a fueding next door neighbor. Wonderfully touching!
Then Joan's daughter shows up - Yup! it is Zoey [where has she been?] As luck would have it, she remembers the original dress and restores it to its former beauty. And returns it to Travis -- What a lovely round about way the "Dress" has influenced the other couples.
Definitely a girly-movie with many instances of happily ever-after that we all wish for.
Definitely Recommended -- great character actors and sub-plots - very satisfying!
I just love this movie. I saw it first on the Hallmark Channel when I was channel surfing, then I purchased the DVD. Each time I've watched it, I find I like it more and more. However, I would have loved to have seen more story/character development and a little more romance, perhaps even a wedding between Tyler & Jordan (reason for 4 & not 5 stars). For instance, the scene outside the barn after Tyler has turned away & ran from Jordan, he says ".. I never expected this" It's not clear at first exactly what it is he wasn't expecting. You realize later that he never expected to fall in love with her. Would be great if a sequel follows!??? More Info about this DVD Director(s): David S.

Garnet is the heroine, a young family doctor who recently lost her husband to a death-ride on a rodeo bull. She is tired of her father-in-law and other people in her picturesque town of Sweetwater, CO, being tired of HER unhappiness. Out of desperation she hires a "boyfriend" from an escort agency, and tells him to sweep her off her feet whenever they're in public to convince everyone they're seriously involved.
While the premise was appealing, the reality was a bit more mottled. Garnet, as both doctor and grieving wife, I found less than convincing. Claiming to have no interest in romance, she nevertheless behaves in an immature and needy, please-love-me-come-hither manner. She treats her long-suffering hiree with disdain, even while availing herself fully (and I do mean...

This would have been a good movie it they would have left out the language. We didn't make it to the end of the movie to see how many foul words were used and the extremitity of the language. I wanted a movie with a good plot but without the language no matter how mild to some. It would have been a good movie it the language was left off.
