You just can't watch anything any better than one of the Hallmark style movies. Great for the whole family, no foul language and no nudity. Yes I recommend this one. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 3/7/2022.

Annie Hancock was 18 when she married Iowa sweetheart Ben Lawson. Her father found out and forced them to get an annulment. It's 15 years later. Annie (Jill Wagner) receives divorce papers from Ben (Colin Egglesfield). It turns out that the annulment paperwork cannot be found. She heads off to NYC to settle the matter. Both are getting married but just not to each other.

In order for the movie to ship Annie and Ben, there needs to be definitive differences of good versus bad. The leads are perfectly acceptable. If they are single, they would be ready to mingle. The problem with the other halves is that both have to be bad in order for the audience to dump them overboard. I don't think they achieved that and there's no drive to ship this couple.

First of all, I was not convinced that any of the eligible partners would make a fit match. Certainly not Jovanna and Ben, although Jovanna was not nearly the evil villain that is often the case in these stories. Not Joe and Annie, although there was nothing terribly wrong with their match - just nothing terribly right either. And although they were already married, even Annie and Ben didn't convince me.

The acting was decent, although I didn't see any fireworks between Annie and Ben.

The already married/ never divorced theme was weak. I suppose it could have happened in the first place, but being missed by everyone, including the IRS, for 15 years is lame.

Writers of these things never think about how much money things really cost since Annie has to fly across the country and the judge wanted it twice. Then she buys a wedding dress approved by Jovanna which had to cost at least 5 times what she would have bought (and been happy with) in Iowa. Then this farm owner, who is worried about both a grant and making quota, buys a high-fashion dress in NY. Lucky that Ben was putting her up in the corporate suite because it would have cost her several hundred a night anywhere in that district otherwise.

The story was very straight vanilla with no real surprises.
