The Wedding Chapel - Review

I do love me some sappy love stories and have been a fan of many of the Dove Family Approved movies. What I loved about this movie had very little to do with the main character Sarah. Sarah is an artist who has lost her passion. She is empty, over worked and newly single after her flower carrying boyfriend breaks up with her during an art exhibit.  She heads back home to her "hippy, eccentric" mom played by Shelly Long.  When she finds out that her grandma's house along with many other buildings especially the church in the area are being sold. Suddenly she has a mission and works with a lawyer and the priest to find out of the church has a historic past that will save it from demolition.

Shelley Long as Rita is great. We get to see Shelly now who lost her husband 5 years before and Rita in high school who lost her boyfriend in the war.  Rita and Shelley made this worth watching for me. Watching the past become the future inside this sweet hometown story is definitely worth a watch.
