My daughter and I loved the first one, so we naturally couldn't wait for the sequel. Did we expect very much? No, it's a cheesy Christmas movie. But we were so disappointed with this.
I can understand replacing actors in a role, but why change the character? The dad was a strong, supportive, loving, and wonderful person. They made him an absolute buffoon in this one. He's ridiculously unlikeable in this!
Also, why did they make her friends so bitter and unsupportive this time?! Her venting to her friends should be met with support, not making her feel guilty since they are either unemployed or hate their jobs.
I could go on and on about the wedding planner and his asinine antics, but I just want to forget this character even exists.
The storyline was a bit of a mess. It's like they sat in the writer's room and decided to throw in every conflict they could think of. It just like felt like it was too much trouble going on.
On a positive note, Amber didn't change. Her heart still leads the way in love of family, and she still rocks her sneakers. The royal family didn't change, and are still very accepting of Amber. The chemistry between Amber and Richard is still tops!
Bottom line, if they would have toned down the antics and kept the characters with their original traits, I think this would have been a lot better.
