Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to watch something so silly, predictable and annoying. But this was pretty awful. Most of it was just cringy. I have to clarify that I truly enjoy Christopher Russell and Rhiannon Fish. And the rest of the cast were decent. So that leaves us with the writing or the directing. Both of these people seem to have quite a few credits behind them, but.....the overall movie was just.so.silly.....and annoying to the extreme. Okay, ya lost one phone. But TWO of them? In less than a few hours? Really? The comedic aspect was just too overdone. There were a couple of somewhat likeable cast members, but the maid of honor and bride's parents were not among them. There have been some really enjoyable Hallmark movies with a lot of humor. This is not one of them. The scenery was beautiful and refreshing but couldn't make up for the vehicle itself.

I'm not sure if it was the gorgeous scenery, the writing, or the committed acting but this was refreshingly different than most "hallmark" movies of this genre. I would definitely recommend watching it. The character Sue actually made the "strict mother" trope feel unique and just hers which really impressed me and was so fun to watch! A line that would usually have me rolling my eyes just made me lean in or laugh this time because it felt so authentic. And her dynamic with Phoebe was hilarious. Perfect balance of comedy and romance. Sometimes, I will zone-out watching movies (especially rom-coms) and this one had me laughing and locked in the whole time. Only knocking one star because it felt a bit long at points! Otherwise, go watch it!!

OK. I admit, it's a bit campy, goofy, cheesy...but c'mon, it's a Hallmark movie! And it's a really, really good Hallmark movie because for once, we see all the actors getting dirty or sweaty, and in some cases, dirty and sweaty!!! Hats off to these actors pulling realism from dorky situations and even more dialogue that's...well...kinda fake. I mean, I actually tried imagining some famous film star trying to say those lines, and I don't think they could be done any better. Really loved the bride. She was so pretty. The two leads were obviously gorgeous and adorable together. Really good chemistry. I was surprised to see Hallmark allow a real French kiss with tongue! The mom was so perfectly annoying and gave those mean digs but you really felt that she loved her daughter. The other men, the groom and the two dad dudes were perfectly cast. I loved the cinematography. Was beautiful and I thought the editing was really nice...fast paced and whimsical. So put away your snobby Oscar movie hat and sit down for a family fun silly romp of a movie that has stunning scenery.

"A Costa Rican Wedding" is an endearing romantic comedy that offers a delightful mix of beautiful scenery and an engaging, light-hearted storyline. The film stars Rhiannon Fish and Christopher Russell, who bring a genuine and warm chemistry to their roles, making the romance both believable and enjoyable to watch. Fish's character, Emily, a clumsy and sometimes ditsy bridesmaid, finds herself in a series of amusing misadventures, managing to lose just about everything. Even the bride's mother, played by the wonderfully funny Maureen Kedes, can't help but be skeptical of Emily's antics, adding an extra layer of comedy to the film. Kedes' performance stands out as she effortlessly balances humor with a touch of warmth, making her character both relatable and memorable. Overall, "A Costa Rican Wedding" is a fun, easy-to-watch movie that provides plenty of laughs and a feel-good experience for anyone looking to escape into a charming romantic comedy.

The two leads are adorable. But aren't they always? I loved this movie because two things made it cool. The scenery was like a love letter to Costa Rica. I just wanted to swing from a vine and jump in the water! And the supporting cast were so adorable and seemed so real. They really made the movie. I wanted more from all of them. The bride was so pretty and vulnerable. The two dads were hilarious and so spot on. Exactly the hands-off typical dads. The groom was super handsome and charming. His acting was so natural. The mom of the bride was that judgy mom we all love to hate. She pulled off some cringy lines because her acting was so believable...she reminded me of my Aunt Edith, (may she rest in peace)...but at the same time you could tell she loved her daughter. I also loved the ex boyfriend (hilarious) and the co worker of Emily. Kick back and enjoy this sweet film.

Rhiannon Fish is a lovely actress, but she plays the seriously klutzy and awkward nurse Emily who has been asked to be the bridesmaid at her best friend's Costa Rican destination wedding. She is also tasked with heirloom wedding rings, which she promptly looses when a monkey steals her backpack. She also has to work with the grooms cousin who she thinks hates her. This Hallmark romance has a beautiful pura vida ending with a gorgeous Costa Rican waterfall as the backdrop. It makes the film totally worth watching. As awkward as the beginning is, the end is beautiful and worth seeing for a romantic...making this a recommendation for hallmark romantics.

Terrible humans in paradise. Perpetual whining, manipulation, putting the lives of others in danger so you can get more BFF time with the bridesmaid. Just a taste of the delights of this movie! None of these people are going to end up happy... Now, put those characters into the most ridiculous plot and you get A Costa Rica wedding! Don't try to make sense of the plot holes like, we are desperately late to a wedding, oh wait, a waterfall, never mind the wedding, let's take a swim! What's good? Cute monkeys. Beautiful Costa Rica. The incredible vacation home. The male lead isn't a terrible human.

I'll start by saying I usually like whatever Hallmark movies Rhiannon Fish (RF) or Christopher Russell (CR) are playing in, and the previews looked cute, so I was looking forward to this one. I was so disappointed. First, the character of Emily was so unlikeable! She didn't come across as a cute clumsy sweetheart. She came across as a clumsy, forgetful, arrogant and prideful person who was obsessed with her ex and doesn't learn from her mistakes, so also not very bright. And the choices she made throughout the movie (wanting to go off in the jungle alone, not taking the advice of someone who actually knows the country, etc) just didn't come off as believable. And speaking of unbelievable.... CR's acting when he was supposed to be scared of heights. On the bridge, so not believable! As for the other characters, the mother of the bride was just awful. The bride was sweet, but there's no way anyone would have been that calm if they found out irreplaceable family heirlooms had been lost. For that matter, who would have trusted their friend, with a long history of mishaps, to hold on to said family heirlooms? I made myself finish watching the movie, trying to give it a fair shake and hoping it would get better. It didn't.

Really wanted to like this, but at the half way mark, I'm not sure that I can make it through even with fast forwarding through the commercials. The character Emily (Rhiannon Fish) is so far unredeemable, arrogant and downright unlikeable. Not quite sure how they think it's plausible that she could be a nurse. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Ryan (Christopher Russell) is as always wonderful. A good actor who is also easy on the eyes. The mother of the bride didn't help matters, hopefully by the end Phoebe will be able to stand up to her mom and actually have the wedding that she wants and deserves. By the way, the whole stalking the ex thing was really creepy.

The most annoying movie I have seen. I couldn't even finish it. The woman is SO annoying! She is stubborn, truly stupid, unrealistic, a liar and hardheaded, and not endearing at all. Don't waste your time! The only reason I watched about half of it was the views of Costa Rica, although I suspect they are probably selected for maximum impact on people that never travels. The lead actor was the only good thing in the movie and it was hard to see the lack of chemistry between them. I wanted to see the guy abandon her in the jungle for ever. It was definitely not funny because of how bad the atory and dialogues are.
