June in January (2014)

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

...with its virtues and sins. nice, seductive, familiar, boring. predictable in large lines. and nothing surprising. that is all. no new things, an exercise of war between the women from the life of a young man, moral lesson and not credible situations. and a new sort of modern fairy tale, perfect for a precise target, nice for many of its viewers.

This is by far my favorite movie. Some call it a Chic Flick , I say "man wants it all." For Alex (Wes Brown) lawyer and rich, has decided to take his career in a different direction. That's great for him, but a time frame had set a few problems. The woman in his life June (Brooke D'Orsay) who he proposed to on New Year's Eve, was quite easy or so it seems. June was going to have her dream wedding in June. Well since Alex had a time frame on his job June's big wedding would be squashed and now it turned to a small wedding. So June sprung into action. Alex had a "to do list". But since his Mother (Marilu Henner) wanted it her way. Shut June out and cause any trouble she can. June had a hard time fitting in, so called the wedding off. She had her say and Alex had a few choice words for his Mom. June had some advice from her Mom, (who Passed away), said if you love Alex then get married. So the wedding was back on. The wedding was beautiful, and it seems Alex did get his way. It was good to see Wes Brown in a mature role. He did good. Brenda.

I caught the last 20 minutes of the movie - which was more than enough to understand the entire plot. Could there have been any more clichés thrown into this one? a) Mother-in-law doesn't approve and tries to break up marriage - but comes around in the end. b) Dead mother of the bride speaks from the graves. c) girl is made to feel bad for wanting a wedding she has dreamed of "because in the end, it isn't about the ceremony, it is about the one you love." d) potential sabotage, but in the end, the day is saved. e) all is right with the world.I am a romantic myself, but this was so nauseating.... Granted this is the same corporation that makes all of the sappy cards we give out on every holiday.

Wow......Hallmark is literally my FAVORITE channel on Comcast! So much so that my husband makes fun of me for watching all the "corny" movies. I never care what he thinks because I absolutely LOVE the Hallmark movies! I think they are sweet and poignant and I totally love them.........UNTIL!!!!!! UNTIL I came across this movie, June in January!! It's a lovely enough movie but there is a scene where the main character and her fiancé are running through the park and she is telling him how she thinks his mother doesn't like her and that she is sure she had someone better in mind for her son to marry than a nurse" and he said, "ya but you're a Nurse Practioner" and she says, "oh like your mom knows the difference?" WTF??? Like being a nurse isn't prestigious enough?!! Now we all have to be Nurse Practitioners to be recognized?? I am a Registered Nurse and I went to school for 4 years to be one. I make more money than a lot of CEO's of companies and that is coming from a "head hunter" who used to find jobs for CEO's! I find that whole scene BEYOND offensive to all my fellow Registered Nurses and I am thoroughly disgusted with Hallmark that you allowed such a scene to be put in one of your movies. How dare you! I have worked so long and hard in my career and frankly most nurses I know blow doctors away with their intellect and saviness!! Anyway....I had no idea where to direct my anger, so I chose to display it here on IMDb! Thanks to anyone who got this far in the review! I appreciate you reading my post!Ps....I don't also mean to put down doctors because there are so many wonderful docs who deserve our admiration. peace,Lisa :)
