The Wedding Dress is a corny TV movie

The Wedding Dress is a corny TV movie staring Neil Patrick Harris. I like the occasional corny made for TV movie. I like Neil Patrick Harris. So, I am obviously the target audience for this. This movie features a wedding dress that moves in and out of people’s lives. (The dress is not alive or cursed or anything. That would be a different movie.) The dress is from the World War II era and it is inherited by Neil Patrick’s character Travis.

This is a TV movie from 2001 and I have seen it before but not in a long time. I think I used to catch it on cable when the movie shifted to Margot Colin and Peter Wingfield’s story. (I think I didn’t see the first twenty or so minutes until I saw the film for the third or fourth time.)I think this is one of the few things I have seen him in besides Highlander the series.

The performances are good, the stories are sweet, and it is a short movie. If I really examined the coincidences that drive the plot, I would say how contrived some (most) of them are. I am not going to do that. Maybe if the movie were longer, I’d think harder about the coincidences.

I like it. It is corny and sweet but sometimes you want corny and sweet (at least I do). It probably should not work but the performances are good.

I might watch this again next year.
