Watched A Wedding for Christmas (TV Movie 2018) from Hallmark Movies
Directed by Fred Olen Ray. With Cristine Prosperi, Colton Little, Vivica A. Fox, Lesli Kay. Haley escapes her small-town and builds a life in Los Angeles as a wedding planner. When her sister asks her to plan her wedding, Haley returns to her childhood town and reunites with a childhood flame.

Rating: ★★★  

Cute enough, but the main character wasn’t very likeable for way too long. 

The story of the city mouse and the country mouse reframed into a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Brief review

Entertaining enough. I may have ruined it by watching the series first (though I missed this episode somehow.)

There’s a pace here almost as slow as that of the television show and perhaps one that may mirror the pace of life on a small island separated away from the general business of the world.

A generally well crafted mystery here, though there were bits that were guessable. Seemed an odd plot feature to have one person discovering all the bodies though I’m not sure if it added to the mystery of the story in any way, at least for me.
