At a certain point, the stepfather to the lead actress says, “For some people, feeling pain isn’t an option.” I realized the same thing a long time ago, and it has helped me not be angry, bitter or hurt. As a culture, Americans are generally grief-illiterate. When we lost our son five years ago, we also lost most of our friends and even family because people avoided us - it made them uncomfortable to be around us, and so they chose not to be. That one line above is profound. Someday, someone in your life will experience the loss of a loved one. Please, be there for them - not just the week after, but especially 3, 4, or 5 months afterward. Call them, ask them how they are doing, invite them for coffee - you never know how much it may mean to them.

Since water always finds the easiest way around blockages, that's how we need to move through our lives. Act like water. Let life happen. Follow the flow. Your gonna have a sweet time chasing all your dreams. This is your time. Enjoy the ride. This movie is all about giving people a totally unexpected event-a creative surprise.

I married my best friend 14 plus years ago. We were both virgins and saved ourselves for each other. We didn’t kiss until after 5 years of being best friends. I love our story because it was perfect for us!

Never never allow a man to put you through uncertainty . Or it will make you look like the crazy one. See how suttle and uncaring he was. It makes her question herself!!! Never never be with a man like this .Look at how unhappy he made her!!! No one’s feelings should go up and down like this!

This has definitely become my comfort movie.. I’ve watched it over ten times and it still gives me the same emotional reaction as I did the first time I did. Low key feels like it describes my personality towards love and life. I really enjoy this movie.

She did right by ditching 'the narc'. She knew it from the start in her gut that he was a player! Women should listen more to their intuition, no matter what other people say or see, because they are just by-standers while You ARE, the main role in your own movie called 'Life'! .... Once he knew he got her heart, he changed his character. This is what happens a lot in real life, too. So this movie was very authentic. Glad she got back with her 'old best friend.' Also, if you don't like yourself anymore and aren't happy in your own skin with the one you're with, then he is the wrong person. Jeff did a lot of 'bread-crumbing' and 'future-faking'! .... He was all show and not real. The therapist was hilarious! Loved her! ♥

The ending where she tells Jeff everything was EPIC! Truly amazing, and the fact that they captured the true meaning of being controlled by a narcissist ❤, her words “ me feeling something or voicing my opinion and concerns, do not make me insecure “ EPIC. I can so relate ❤

Wow...im completely flashed by this movie - it SURPRISE(d) ME! I havent been able to keep interest in any movie lately, i watched her healing journey glued to the screen. The therapist is amazing and her friend too, for calling her out. its also great to see some normal people with flaws, each character had their own and thats great 👏

I like what they did with this movie. It shows that it's okay to feel things. It also shows how trauma can effect someone in ways we wouldn't imagine. My only gripe with the movie is the ending. I think Genie needed to take time to be with herself and her feelings and not rush into a new relationship. I get that they are best friends and love each other, but I think having some time to reflect on and understand her feelings would make a big difference. Often times, we live in the future, wondering what our life will be like, who we'll marry, how many kids we'll have, but it's important to stay in the present and understand what is going on.

This is a very nice movie. (Also spoiler forward) The way Jeff was behaving afterwards pointed to him being a narcissist. He also acted like the issues were with her, gaslighting her. Typical of narcissist! One line that her friend said to her really clicked 'This is who you are with Jeff." making her realise how she was so much in pain in that toxic relationship and that love isn't supposed to be like this.

Great example of how a toxic relationship can take hold. Also, how to break free before it’s too late. Recognizing the true, healthy love.

Ding! ding! ding!....and all the red flags came up. Wow! This film was not only extremely entertaining for me but it clearly showed me the true colours of a narcissist and gaslighter, Jeff, in a relationship. Omg! I've just graduated from the school of life! Congratulations Cid! You're never gonna fail on this one again🎊🎉

Very good movie, showing the importance of feeling the feelings, facing fears, accepting reality, dealing with childhood trauma and grief. Let’s not forget out the pessimist can trigger those issues and a heart that needs to be healed. The actors were awesome, the therapist funny.

This movie was loaded with reality. Acting and content is 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

love this movie! wow, what a smooth operator he was. I am glad , she saw through it and realised she loved herself enough not to go through with it. you need to best friends before being in love, best friends make the best couples. something i learnt. never fall for flattery no matter great it seems. will watch again.

A journey to love oneself is the best love story ever, so much more relatable than a billion romances out there

My husband and I have been together forever and we are still like this. He still does crazy stuff in the store to make me laugh and leaves me wildly crazy voicemails. And I am still head over heels for his crazy self. My best friend in the world. My go to.

I was in the mood for some silly trashy Hallmark fluff and this was so much more. Surprisingly insightful in places, great sound and an ending!!! Thank you.

Great movie! I was impressed at how it remained lighthearted while at the same time addressed common struggles with food and relationships that so many women endure. Thank you!

“It’s only been a week”. Queen….give it a month and you’ll be thanking yourself that you stayed strong. You deserve amazing things and to not sell yourself short.

This movie inspired me that self love is more important than love ❤️

When she surprised him at the anniversary with the balloons and he flipped the script. That was a very good example of what narcissistic abuse is.

Jeff felt wrong right from the start. It was painful watching what he did to her. The craziness was in his eyes. The actor portraying him did it very well.

If only the traumas of life and love could be so easily be understood in the time it takes to watch a film. Wasn't sure if I liked this in the beginning but am glad I stuck it out to the sweet twist at the end.

I have always believed that love can't have be found throughout those ridiculous dates and faking flattering...etc, but naturally and unexpectedly, a friendship that turns into love is amazing and strong. Highly recommend this movie. And her laugh is amazing.

It's been a long time since I've been so emotionally engaged into a romantic movie. This was really nice to watch for the story line and good acting. Her therapist insights where so good. And I laugh hard to her blond friend's laugh 😄

This was more than I expected. Good insights into binge eating and dealing with emotions in a healthy way. If it feels wrong it probably is. Trust your gut. Love wins in the end.

Surprisingly good movie (no pun intended). I usually don't expect much with romantic comedies, but this one was uniquely emotional, funny, and thoughtful. Good acting, too! I highly recommend!

her hippie spiritual friend with dreamy blue eyes is flawless...

Great case study of: -Attachment theory -emotional eating -grief

Love seeing Jonathan Bennett, blast from the past

When I saw the guy at the alter, I was like “no” is this a joke? He was really mean to her. So glad she said, “I love me more!”

It's hard not to realize all of the red flags, and walk away from the love bomb. What a nightmare that could have been ♥

I'm halfway through. She belongs with Danny. Anyone who puts on a pink elephant costume loves you.

This movie has an unusual plot twist and this upload is COMPLETE! 🤗🤗🤗

This movie was very layered and insightful. It illustrated a perfect example of narcissistic abuse with the "Love Bombing", gas lighting, projecting and manipulation that keeps you in this emotional train wreck of a relationship. It also showed us the co-dependent component that result from the main's character's abandonment [Dad's death] and rejection trauma [Mother's avoidance of the dad's death].

This movie is perfect example of the reality!!!

We all have emotional rollercoasters we ride through this lifetime. Our emotions were given to us to be able to feel each one and to it fullest, savor the experience of joy, sadness, worry, excitement, fear, depression, anxiety, desire, pensiveness, love, anger, jealousy and yes, even guilt. In traditional Chinese Medicine, as Acupuncturist, we are taught learn to feel and then balance these feeling, first in ourselves [physician heal thyself] before we may be able to release the suffering of another, our patients. It is a taoist method to balance, just like nature as water flows to the sea, where clouds form and rains come. This movie was truly a 'Surprise' to Me. Thank you to Jonathan Bennett and all of the people who contributed to this experience. May you and yours...Be In Good Health.💞

I recognized myself into the leading actress. I used to be like that, always thinking I was the one with problems when In reality were the narcissist dudes I was dating. Now after therapy and advice from my friends I identify those guys and stay kilometers away from them.

A rare gem romantic comedy - twist ending and not bad acting :) And I couldn't get enough of Nicole Sulivan's cameo as the therapist. HILARIOUSLY good.

The plot is great, the message is great, but the supporting characters are gold!

I felt soooo much like her.. Abandonment issues n eating disorder n self sabotaging n having amazing frends. N not trusting myself in d relationship! Wow! I hated when I saw it was d bf as d groom. N I was like nooooooooooooooooooo! N boom! The besties r together!! Ahhhhh loved it! Such a beautiful love story!

One of the best Hallmarks!!!! So many great lessons!!!!

Hooray, 12 searches for a film & this one is good quality , no zooming ,etc thank you !

Never seen this before. It was PERFECT. Every character was just right. Thank you.

This was a TOP TIER cast 👏🏾👏🏾

I knew the surprise wedding was for her & so happy she ended up with her best friend & the love is equal! As far as the movie goes. It's how it should be.

Must say...What a Surprise to the one give so many others A Big Surprise...What a Storyline...🥀👌💖

Anyone else feeling the Tom Cruise Vibes from Sean Faris?

I most definitely agree with so many others on here - it was a good movie and has been saved to my movies and "rewatch". It's most definitely up there for educational AND entertainment.

This is a really beautiful and funny movie. They did a wonderful job with it. The actresses and actors were good-looking too

" For you ... I think twice a week" What a great character

SO GOOD! Unexpected twists throughout. This is not your typical romance - although, of course, there's a happy ending ❤ Highly recommended.

Happy to know she didn't get manipulated with stupid surprise gift. I hurted you yesterday, I cheated on you yesterday but today I gave a wonderful surprise. Come back! 😝

Spoiler alert, but I think it needs said. The guy she is dating is not merely a jerk as sometimes happens in a movie. He is emotionally/ psychologically abusive to her. I think his behavior is really gross and distracting from an otherwise neat movie. I love how she grows through the movie. Great cast.

This movie is exactly what I've been through when I was engaged except for the best friend part. I don't have em. It made me understand myself even more, that how narcissistic he was. Loveeeee this one 1000/100. 💯❤️

This is such a gem of a movie!❤ I'm glad I found it👌👍👏

True-to-life film. Now I understand the comments re: the twists & turns, & glad I'd read a few, otherwise personally I'd have bailed... Not that it was bad, but I don't like for people to get mistreated. Lotta great life quotes throughout, for me. The lead made great strides in growth, & the film ended how it should have.

This movie was well scripted, awesome acting. I absolutly love this movie. Easily became a favourite. Thanks for uploading it.

This movie is so fun. I was smiling most of the time that my cheek is aching. 🤣 And their acting is not bad.

For the first time the movie was not screwed up. Good download!

This movie was so amazing! I love these kind of movies♥️

The therapist said things that made me realize things about myself!! Hahaha, thanks

The therapist was hilarious.

Love this movie, looks like there's a psychologist behind this movie childhood traumas messing up romantic relationships, processing emotions so important

Lucky she realized that the guy she was about to marry was a narcissist.

wow, good example of a narcissist gaslighting her. Good movie - great acting, genuinely funny and touching

Her boyfriend is her mother or at least how she imagines her mother to be. I love the woman in the restroom- “dump his ass” and “crying on the public restroom floor.. that’s nobody’s dream” So good!!!

Oh dear, this is reality check 101! I've never understood the deal with guys who pursue a woman and once they weasel their way into her heart, they disorganize it by sending mixed signals and trying to twist it like she's overreacting! God help us! My heart was screaming red flag. So glad she finally mastered the courage to let him go despite the heartache

The best connection in actors!!!! This was a great movie.

Second movie I watch about friends falling in love, watch 'Lucky in Love'. Sean Faris looks like a younger vision of Tom Cruise. I loved 'Danny' character, just loved his sense of humour.

Really good movie.. You can go for it. I thought it was an typical romantic movie.. But it's about self discovery💓

I watched this from Kenya n I loved every bit of, it's an illustration of real-life experiences. Good job, Kudos

As a young mother, I must admit I´m pretty concerned about the binging because is a real problem that affects our teens girls, speacially when they´ve been faced an emotional situation.

Wow! Dani just stole my definition of love 🤩..... Love is nothing but staying and not leaving through thick and thin....

She made the right decision in the end 😊

I think some men are good guys but just not the right one for you. When you're not compatible with someone it doesn't matter how "good of a person" they are or how much you love them. You will just have to let them go. 😢

Dinner reservations on grocery store samples 😋 love this guy's ingenuity 😆 layers in this are hilarious, and powerful 😄

Jeff was such a gaslighter

This movie was so great!! I really loved how it showed the main character's growth through her fears, childhood trauma and repressed emotions. Did not expect the twist at the end. That was amazing. Thank you for sharing

This was a beautifully told love story

What a fun movie!! Loved this. Thanks for the fun

Crazy therapist gave great advice - love her. Also, I'm on Team Banks!

Please make more movies like this, great story and everyone is lovable and relatable, she is me. I was her ! Difference is I wasn’t in the place to walk away from the weeding! Even he throw some temperatures at me in the car to the damn wedding

An old favourite with lots of lessons about what true love is and what it isn't!

Nobody talking about Jeff, who is a perfect example of a narcissist using gaslighting to get his way?

I wish I had a psychologist like that when I was going thru challenging times and didn’t understand my emotions, feelings, myself .

the movie is so good, but im not feel well whit the end od the movie, im crying now

I really needed to watch this.... I feel like it was gods sign, it's not the right one unless you are completely happy, unless you are secure, if you always have to explain your self it means that he's not the one.

I felt sad for the girl.. Went from a happy, confident and secure woman to confused, neglected and deprived of love and attention because of her narcissistic BF. We need to be able to detect toxic traits quickly so that we can steer clear of such people from early on and don't waste our time and energy on them.

Watch it again the second time. Really amazing and upload is perfect..thank you so much.🥰😀🙂

Oh, I didn’t know what to expect with this movie. So gooooood!

It's kinda scary , that people need a movie like this (AND YEA IT'S A NICE MOVIE SHOWING REALITY)....to know that this does actually exist and it does happen

Wow this movie hit home, only that my friend couldn't walk away and I painfully had to watch him reluctantly say I do. He said it should have been me but he didn't have the courage to admit it sooner + African family pressures. This story felt so real

Beautiful movie.........very sensitive hearts and souls sharing..............

Very good movie with valuable lesson! Worth the watch!

I’m happy Jeannie ended up with Danny so great 😊

Finally a good film in youtube for free

well written, well acted, good actors and great storyline... GOOD JOB !!

Thanks Indie RMFF for sharing ! This movie was a beautiful *surprise* ; )
