Unveiled tv show review2/13/2024 ![]() ![]() They chat, laugh, and argue a lot - vintage Italian. They have a multi-generational family business, they share all activities, including lunch every day. The family is wonderful, they are classic Italians. This may change as I view additional installments of this series. At least that's what I've witnessed so far. The veil must be present in that location for love to happen there. If you drink the potion, you fall in love with that person, so it is with the veil, if you touch it or have it in your possession, you fall in love with someone in close proximity. Basically, in other words, the veil is like love potion #9. So the people don't find true love, the veil creates true love. How many times can you run into the same guy in a city that size, only to find out his family is directly linked to this mysterious artifact (the veil) that grants that you will find true love? However, this story is leaning toward the veil being magical because it's the veil itself that grants true love to those who come in contact with it. I must note there are too many coincidences with him and his family. She meets a wonderful Italian man and they fall in love. Her secondary mission is to trace the origin of the Veil. Reeser is single and teaching art history to a bunch of Italian college students who are difficult to please. This film's magic is in the setting, the charm and energy of the people, and the interactions between the leads. I don't know how much was filmed in Italy, but let's just go with it, because it appears authentic. The Italian cityscape and countryside was very welcoming. I think the reason it's better for me is because I like Autumn Reeser the most out of the three female leads of Wedding Veil. Summing up, didn't blow me away but very nice film. Really liked the upbeatness of the storytelling, as well as its endless bags of light-heartedness, cute charm and warm heart. Any conflict, which is not a lot, is unforced and has tension, which is not always the case with Hallmark, and it goes at a natural flow. The script has light hearted playful wit and doesn't get too sappy or too sentimental. The music is not unforgettable but it at least fits and is pleasant on the ear. It's directed with assured confidence with no signs of fatigue or disinterest. The production values are attractive, with Venice (one of the most beautiful cities) in particularly being absolutely sublime. Furthermore, the characters do not bore or irritate on the whole, while also not being as stereotypical as Hallmark characters tend to be. Reeser and Benardini have very sweet and genuine chemistry together, though the romance perhaps could have had more screen time. Chabert and Alison Sweeney appeal in smaller roles. Had no problem with the accents and way of speaking, Italian is a beautiful language and the film is set in Italy, it makes sense to have Italian spoken and a lot of it. It was a great move having real Italians making up most of the cast and all do very well in their roles, loved the energy and how much the film embraced the Italian culture without stereotyping or generalising. Reeser however is very bubbly and charming, while Paolo Benardini is very likeable and matches her in the easy going charm factor. The ending is a touch too on the neat side. Pacing can be on the rushed side, especially when things get more eventful later. The Italian student subplot sounded very relatable but felt like padding and is too indifferently written. There is a lot of content, and it did feel like there was too much and some of it didn't have much time to be fleshed out. It would have actually benefitted from not having as much going on. Hallmark has always varied when it comes to its sequels, and 'The Wedding Veil Unveiled' is one of the better faring ones. Personally didn't think that story-wise it was as good as its predecessor, though the male lead character is much more likeable, but it succeeds a lot more than it doesn't and the best of the many good things are very good. 'The Wedding Veil Unveiled' is as every bit as well worth watching level as 'The Wedding Veil' and a good start to the 2022 Loveuary (new for Hallmark that year) output. Like Lacey Chabert in the first, Autumn Reeser is one of the best and most consistent regular Hallmark actresses and most of her filmography is worthwhile. Seeing Italy on screen is reason enough to see any film and while Hallmark vary when it comes to their films set abroad they always deliver on the beautiful scenery front, and some of the most beautiful scenery comes from Italy. Really liked the first film in the Wedding Veil trilogy and there was a lot going for 'The Wedding Veil Unveiled'.
