Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Homework, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm
0:13
Speaker 1: Megan and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy. I'm
0:16
Speaker 1: a former Hallmark hater. On today's episode, we are discussing
0:19
Speaker 1: Toast to Italy, the first movie in Hallmark's twenty fifth
0:22
Speaker 1: Birthday celebration lineup of three movies, which originally aired on
0:26
Speaker 1: Saturday August first, twenty twenty sixth, and is now streaming
0:30
Speaker 1: on Hallmark Plus. Poor Hallmark doesn't even get like a
0:33
Speaker 1: birthday month family. Like three weeks they're like, sorry, we
0:37
Speaker 1: got a bumpy for Fallen to Love, which I saw
0:40
Speaker 1: a commercial for because I watched this unfriendly and I
0:45
Speaker 1: just have like a full panic overpening. It's all happening,
0:50
Speaker 1: yes see. I think you have like planted the panic seat.
0:54
Speaker 1: I am about the hoorry. I mean I was in
0:57
Speaker 1: my home goods and it's all Halloween. No, I'm not ready.
1:02
Speaker 1: I'm not ready, everybody. Oh, I am in full prop
1:04
Speaker 1: over here. I got a new planner system. I'm working
1:07
Speaker 1: on a meal plan. So let's talk Toast to Italy
1:11
Speaker 1: with a synopsis. Jenny travels to Italy for a special
1:16
Speaker 1: bottle of wine for her sister's wedding. She meets a
1:19
Speaker 1: rego also looking for the famous love wine, and together
1:22
Speaker 1: their search leads to a love of their own. Michael
1:27
Speaker 1: Robinson directed Toast to Italy. This marks his ninety fifth
1:30
Speaker 1: directing credit, and he most recently directed Two for Tea
1:33
Speaker 1: from earlier this year. I liked that movie a lot too.
1:36
Speaker 1: I think that is I was thinking, Oh, total side note,
1:41
Speaker 1: I'm curious what the listeners want. I was thinking we
1:44
Speaker 1: should do like a top ten list of the our
1:48
Speaker 1: favorite movies of the year. Sure before CTC, yes, before
1:55
Speaker 1: that starts, Yes, let's do it, okay. Inglis wrote the screenplay.
2:01
Speaker 1: He has thirty four writing credits, but this isn't his
2:03
Speaker 1: first Hallmark project. He previously penned the movie Nostalgic Christmas
2:09
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen, starrying one of Meg's Meg's Meg, Do
2:13
Speaker 1: I have ever called you Meg? Literally? Never starry one
2:17
Speaker 1: of Megan's favorites, Brooke, Do youor say ah? Only my
2:21
Speaker 1: mom calls me that? Really yeah, Meg? Sometimes my dad,
2:25
Speaker 1: well it doesn't sound like that when she says oh,
2:28
Speaker 1: which she's angry. Does she call you me Catherine? She's kidding?
2:35
Speaker 1: Uh No, She doesn't really get mad. Actually, Hei, when
2:39
Speaker 1: you were younger. Yeah, sure, I was a pain in
2:42
Speaker 1: the ass when I was younger, but I don't think
2:45
Speaker 1: I had a she didn't like middle name me when
2:48
Speaker 1: I was in your trouble, you know, Yeah, gotcha. Will
2:53
Speaker 1: Kemp stars as a Rego. Hallmark fans last saw him
2:55
Speaker 1: in My Sweet Austrian Holiday, and they'll have another chance
2:57
Speaker 1: to see him this October as part of the Hallmark
3:00
Speaker 1: Christmas Cruise lineup. I'm curious which of our listeners is
3:04
Speaker 1: going on the cruise. The cruise is so not on
3:08
Speaker 1: my radar this year. It will be once our feeds
3:12
Speaker 1: are flooded with I know, social content, I'll be sad
3:16
Speaker 1: that we didn't go. Maybe I'll be sad that we
3:19
Speaker 1: I'll have fomo for sure. Really, of course, same like
3:24
Speaker 1: programming every year, though at this point this is year three.
3:28
Speaker 1: Sure doesn't mean I don't want to be part of it. Yeah,
3:32
Speaker 1: I hear you. Tory DeVito stars as Ginny Hamewark fans
3:36
Speaker 1: last sar her in twenty twenty threes. Loves Greek to me,
3:40
Speaker 1: and many will also recognize her from her longtime role
3:43
Speaker 1: as doctor Natalie Manning on Chicago med Yeah, she's great
3:48
Speaker 1: in that. Oh nice. Anybody, what is your first impression
3:52
Speaker 1: of Toast to Italy? Well, it's not a Will Kemp
3:56
Speaker 1: movie until somebody finds a reason for him to dance. Oh.
4:02
Speaker 1: My first impression is add collarbones to chairs and zippers
4:05
Speaker 1: in the unlikely sexy category, right, I mean that was
4:11
Speaker 1: That was like the steamiest part of the whole for sure.
4:14
Speaker 1: But I had so many I had so many issues
4:17
Speaker 1: not with that scene, but the context around that scene.
4:22
Speaker 1: Why are you measuring for address that is for a
4:24
Speaker 1: wedding five days? Sure, don't even get me started. Okay,
4:29
Speaker 1: do you want to jump into the likes I do? Okay,
4:32
Speaker 1: go ahead. I think it's obvious or at least uh
4:35
Speaker 1: oh oh that The real love story here is not
4:39
Speaker 1: between Jenny and Arigo. It's Jenny reconnectuicating with her Italian family. Okay, okay.
4:46
Speaker 1: Did you not like this movie? No? I didn't really
4:48
Speaker 1: like it. Okay, well, okay, out of the way. I
4:53
Speaker 1: thought it was fine. I thought it was fine. Well,
4:56
Speaker 1: if you'll recall our first impression, we said, or I said,
5:00
Speaker 1: probably gonna be fine. Yeah, remember we ranked it, and
5:03
Speaker 1: I can't did this come a third for me or
5:06
Speaker 1: second for me? Do you remember? I think this was
5:09
Speaker 1: second for me. I think it might have been third
5:11
Speaker 1: for you. I can't wait to see how the rest
5:14
Speaker 1: of birthday three week months. But you know what, this
5:17
Speaker 1: this movie benefits from the pleasure pain principle in that
5:21
Speaker 1: we're coming right off of Christmas in July, which was
5:25
Speaker 1: largely bad. Oh, so this is masterpiece theater in comparison.
5:30
Speaker 1: You know, it's like when you're in pain and the
5:33
Speaker 1: pain dissipates, the lack of pain feels like pleasure. It's
5:37
Speaker 1: the same thing this has. It benefits from that Christmas
5:41
Speaker 1: in July comparison. This is why I think the IMDb
5:44
Speaker 1: reviews are or there. The ratings are pretty stink and
5:47
Speaker 1: high for this movie, like in the sevenths. Yeah, would
5:51
Speaker 1: you consider this a seven plus movie? No? But I
5:55
Speaker 1: think it's also early. I think it's only been two days,
5:58
Speaker 1: so I'm curious, like where those numbers land after a month,
6:02
Speaker 1: you know, like where we shake out. I just thought
6:04
Speaker 1: the family scenes were the scenes that got me. I
6:06
Speaker 1: thought there was a lot of warmth in those scenes.
6:09
Speaker 1: I thought the casting was done really beautifully. Those characters
6:13
Speaker 1: did not feel like, oh, let's go meet Auntie, this
6:16
Speaker 1: and so and so. They were lovely people that I
6:19
Speaker 1: was genuinely interested in seeing on my screen, and that
6:24
Speaker 1: was the part of the movie that I liked the most.
6:27
Speaker 1: I would agree this is your life wrapped in a
6:32
Speaker 1: wish Here what I Ginny had no idea about her
6:36
Speaker 1: family history, which I found a little bit maybe unbelievable,
6:43
Speaker 1: or not even unbelievable because she's only let's see, it's
6:48
Speaker 1: her grandfather, right, I don't know. I just thought there
6:51
Speaker 1: would be she would have a better understanding of like
6:55
Speaker 1: who her family was in their history and legacy in
6:59
Speaker 1: this town. And I was just kind of surprised by
7:02
Speaker 1: all of that, Like she was learning at the same
7:05
Speaker 1: time we were learning. So that kind of made it
7:10
Speaker 1: hard for me to care a little bit. I don't know, Yeah, Like,
7:15
Speaker 1: if you're so close to your grandparents and their love
7:17
Speaker 1: story is so meaningful, how did you not know anything
7:19
Speaker 1: about all of these people exactly? But the way they
7:22
Speaker 1: told the story, it did make it seem like the
7:24
Speaker 1: grandparents had left these people behind, Like it wasn't like
7:28
Speaker 1: the grandparents, you know, these people were all so excited
7:31
Speaker 1: to meet her because it was a connection to the
7:33
Speaker 1: grandparents who they didn't really have in their lives once
7:36
Speaker 1: they left Italy. So maybe it's just that they moved home,
7:40
Speaker 1: not moved home. They moved to the States, and then
7:43
Speaker 1: they established this life and it was just like onward
7:45
Speaker 1: and upward, and they weren't really looking back, with the
7:48
Speaker 1: exception of this very particular wine. Okay, I don't know, No, don't,
7:54
Speaker 1: I don't know it. You're that's fair. These are fair points.
7:58
Speaker 1: Can we talk about Will Campantrerio? Yeah? Please? I liked them.
8:03
Speaker 1: I knew, like, of course Will Camp is going to
8:05
Speaker 1: get like a lot of people are going to be
8:07
Speaker 1: very excited for him. I do, guys, this is like
8:11
Speaker 1: likes and wishes all together. I do think he was
8:14
Speaker 1: a little hallmarkified in this. I just want to see
8:17
Speaker 1: him a little more like rougher looking, I guess, not
8:20
Speaker 1: so clean cut. Tor de Vito is great. I think
8:24
Speaker 1: she's adorable, mature, like she's a She should be in
8:29
Speaker 1: more movies. I know she's busy on her Chicago med
8:32
Speaker 1: She's not on that anymore. Oh. I did look on
8:34
Speaker 1: her Instagram. She like has a toddler, so maybe she's
8:38
Speaker 1: just very busy. I thought she was great too, I
8:40
Speaker 1: thought she and Will were a really nice pairing. It's
8:43
Speaker 1: been three years since we've had her on Hallmark, and
8:46
Speaker 1: maybe that's by choice and maybe it's not. I in
8:48
Speaker 1: our first impression was worried that this was going to
8:50
Speaker 1: be like a little boring and buttoned up. And I
8:52
Speaker 1: do think I don't think she's boring, but I do
8:55
Speaker 1: think she's like kind of by the book and buttoned
8:57
Speaker 1: up and let's get things done. But it wasn't in
8:59
Speaker 1: an off putting sort of way. She just was put
9:02
Speaker 1: together and on screen she was very compelling to watch. Yeah,
9:06
Speaker 1: I agree, this was Sewan Italy, right. Yeah, it was beautiful,
9:12
Speaker 1: so beautiful, but I have oh my gosh, I know
9:16
Speaker 1: I sound like a negative Melly right now. Guys, we
9:20
Speaker 1: have talked about this before, like when the setting becomes
9:24
Speaker 1: like the co Star, Yes, I don't love it, because yes,
9:29
Speaker 1: it's beautiful and nice to look at, and it does
9:34
Speaker 1: set the vibe, like you know, she's overlooking, like the
9:37
Speaker 1: vineyards and the whatever, and all that stuff does lead
9:41
Speaker 1: into the story and I like all that. But you
9:44
Speaker 1: don't want your characters to be competing with the view. Yeah, exactly,
9:48
Speaker 1: like I don't want our story to be like competing, sure,
9:53
Speaker 1: because that's to me, like where it falls short is
9:56
Speaker 1: like the story feels super unbelievable to me, absolutely, but
10:03
Speaker 1: I'm going to get there. Well, I want to talk
10:05
Speaker 1: about the dialogue. I loved the pacing of the dialogue
10:07
Speaker 1: in this movie, and I've talked about this in other reviews,
10:11
Speaker 1: but I realized relatively recently what it is. It's not
10:16
Speaker 1: just the pacing of the dialogue and the writing. It's
10:19
Speaker 1: also the editing that I like. And the editing here
10:21
Speaker 1: was a very snappy back and forth. And there's been
10:24
Speaker 1: a lot of older Hallmark movies on in my home
10:27
Speaker 1: courtesy of my husband, and it's very clear to me
10:31
Speaker 1: it's probably a combination of directorial and editorial style because
10:36
Speaker 1: some and I don't know where this comes down to
10:39
Speaker 1: directors and editors, like there's a little room in between
10:44
Speaker 1: the back and forth. I don't like that. I want
10:47
Speaker 1: like a quick, snappy the dialogue moves. It keeps me engaged,
10:51
Speaker 1: and this had that. Also it had some real fresh writing.
10:54
Speaker 1: I mean, we get and now she's on hinge. I
10:56
Speaker 1: laughed out loud, Yeah, me too, thought it was so funny.
11:00
Speaker 1: I thought that was so funny. You know, coming soon
11:03
Speaker 1: to News and Notes, we're gonna talk about who edited
11:07
Speaker 1: the movie, So we won't, guys, I promise honestly, nobody cares,
11:13
Speaker 1: but I do. I would be interested to look and see.
11:16
Speaker 1: What I think happens is that directors have editors they
11:19
Speaker 1: like to work with, and so it probably we probably
11:22
Speaker 1: would see a lot of repeats in terms of who
11:25
Speaker 1: the directors are and who their editors are. That would
11:27
Speaker 1: be interesting to us and only us, totally. Do you
11:30
Speaker 1: have any more likes? I think we bout covered it. Well,
11:34
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and come back with our wishes. Wendy,
11:45
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you take the lead on this one.
11:47
Speaker 1: I certainly have wishes. But first, biggest one is she
11:52
Speaker 1: runs off to Italy five days before this wedding. It
11:57
Speaker 1: feels more believable if it's like five weeks before the wedding.
12:00
Speaker 1: She's like in search for this wine. To me, it's
12:04
Speaker 1: kind of like she's got to break it to the
12:07
Speaker 1: sister who's getting married, like we're gonna have a nice
12:11
Speaker 1: bottle of cab instead of this family love wine. Sorry,
12:16
Speaker 1: and maybe we go on a trip to Italy and
12:18
Speaker 1: we try and find this for you at some point
12:21
Speaker 1: in the future, like that would be a fun family
12:23
Speaker 1: event or a first anniversary gift. But you, Wendy, who's
12:28
Speaker 1: no stranger to flight delays, like leaving on an international
12:31
Speaker 1: trip five days before a wedding, you wight not make
12:33
Speaker 1: it back. Yeah, you know. That's one of my biggest
12:36
Speaker 1: travel nightmares. So now I'm traveling tomorrow. Wendy's like, what
12:39
Speaker 1: if you don't get back in time. I'm like, well,
12:40
Speaker 1: we're just We're just flying by to say there are pans.
12:45
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes it's all you got to do, like
12:47
Speaker 1: you crazy, you crazy girl. But nothing that I have
12:51
Speaker 1: going on is that important that I can't miss it.
12:54
Speaker 1: It stressed me out too, And as a person who's
12:57
Speaker 1: had a wedding, and clearly this was not just like
12:59
Speaker 1: a oh up and having a family affair in the backyard,
13:01
Speaker 1: there would have been a vent fleeting up to the wedding,
13:03
Speaker 1: and as a bridesmaid, she would have been very involved
13:06
Speaker 1: in that. So now she's trading missing all of that
13:09
Speaker 1: rehearsal dinner and bridesmaid brunch or whatever they're doing for
13:13
Speaker 1: chasing down this bottle of wine, which quite frankly, it's
13:17
Speaker 1: five days before why did we not think about this,
13:20
Speaker 1: Like we thought we were gonna dig it out of
13:22
Speaker 1: a box in the attic. Okay, this is gonna lead
13:25
Speaker 1: into my next wish. They dig out this bottle of
13:28
Speaker 1: wine out of some box in the attic. Were they
13:31
Speaker 1: planning to drink out of that bottle of wine? I
13:35
Speaker 1: mean that certainly it doesn't strike me as proper wine storage. Right,
13:40
Speaker 1: it's gonna taste like dust, It's gonna taste like vinegar.
13:44
Speaker 1: But this is what I don't understand, Like did they
13:46
Speaker 1: say like I'm pretty sure they're like, oh, it's broken
13:49
Speaker 1: or it's empty or yes, right, so like did it leak?
13:54
Speaker 1: Did they put away an empty bottle of wine? What's happening?
13:57
Speaker 1: This is where I got fully hung up up from
14:01
Speaker 1: the jump. I was like they were planning on serving
14:04
Speaker 1: that at least to like there, to the groom and bride.
14:09
Speaker 1: I just thought that was really weird. And then when
14:14
Speaker 1: they're in Italy and she misses out on the auction
14:19
Speaker 1: or whatever first fault, why didn't she just why didn't
14:24
Speaker 1: she just talk to the guy who bought the wine.
14:27
Speaker 1: I know he was like a collector or whatever, but
14:29
Speaker 1: he is human too. I mean that would to me
14:33
Speaker 1: make the next logical step instead of like, yeah, play
14:37
Speaker 1: on his emotions, running all over the countryside looking for
14:41
Speaker 1: maybe there's one more, and then they find maybe that
14:45
Speaker 1: one more that the guy's holding on to. I just like,
14:49
Speaker 1: is if this, if this wine is so important or
14:54
Speaker 1: so special? I don't know anything about anything. This doesn't
15:00
Speaker 1: come from trader jokes, guys don't. I don't know anything
15:03
Speaker 1: about wine. But there's got to be some sort of
15:06
Speaker 1: like proper storage for something so special. And he just like, oh,
15:11
Speaker 1: let me go, let me go, grab it out of
15:12
Speaker 1: my kitchen. And then a rego at the end is
15:16
Speaker 1: swing it around at the option. Well, first of all,
15:20
Speaker 1: they find it on a bar shelf, give me a break.
15:23
Speaker 1: It's also good about that's also not proper wine storage,
15:28
Speaker 1: Like you wouldn't just store it in a if you know,
15:30
Speaker 1: it'd be some sort of temperature control situation. Honestly, I'm
15:35
Speaker 1: sitting here the entire time we're talking, and I'm thinking
15:36
Speaker 1: about what's the fix, because I the thing that I
15:39
Speaker 1: disliked the most was them pulling that wine out of
15:42
Speaker 1: that dusty box, and it was so unclear to me,
15:45
Speaker 1: Like you said, is this was this their plan, like
15:47
Speaker 1: get this box of wine out of the hot attic
15:50
Speaker 1: and serve that. I almost think the story would have
15:53
Speaker 1: been better served for them having like, no, this is
15:56
Speaker 1: we've been storing it appropriately and they take it out
15:59
Speaker 1: and they drop it right. Yeah, at least that makes
16:01
Speaker 1: more sense. Yes, they had a plan, because Toriy DeVito's character, Jenny,
16:08
Speaker 1: had her act together like she's a radiologist, she's a doctor.
16:12
Speaker 1: She's clearly she knows what she's doing, she's organized, and
16:16
Speaker 1: she had no plan for this at all. Doesn't seem
16:20
Speaker 1: to track. Uh gree, here's my next wish. These two
16:27
Speaker 1: fall madly in love with each other over what is
16:30
Speaker 1: maybe thirty six hours. Yeah it's not many many days.
16:34
Speaker 1: I mean I get we get a lot a lot
16:37
Speaker 1: of them doing all the fun stuff together. But I
16:39
Speaker 1: have to side with the sister here in terms of
16:42
Speaker 1: calling him like vacation love or vacation pens. Yeah, you're like,
16:48
Speaker 1: in this heightened sense, you're on this adventure. You're having
16:50
Speaker 1: all these like great conversations, and you're getting along so well,
16:55
Speaker 1: and he's handsome and you're beautiful and whatever. Of course,
16:59
Speaker 1: none of your real responsibilities are there. It's like the
17:01
Speaker 1: bachelor or love Island or you know, it's not the
17:04
Speaker 1: real world, right, And while they don't say like I'm
17:07
Speaker 1: falling in love, it's leading. It's I'm falling for her. Okay, okay, fine, fine,
17:14
Speaker 1: how about I like her? Yeah, I don't want to
17:18
Speaker 1: railroad you with all my wishes, but I have a few. Okay,
17:21
Speaker 1: let's go. The plot here leans really heavily on the
17:25
Speaker 1: repetitive take of let's go get the wine. Oh, the
17:28
Speaker 1: wine's not here. Let's go get the wine. Oh not here. Again.
17:32
Speaker 1: It just was like changing the location and the conflict
17:36
Speaker 1: and just felt like a little bit like a wild
17:39
Speaker 1: goose chase. And I found it frustrating to watch. Yeah,
17:43
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I also found it frustrating as well.
17:49
Speaker 1: We get our tired misunderstanding there. Yeah, boo, tomato, tomato,
17:56
Speaker 1: we don't eat it. It isn't the actual conflict ends
18:00
Speaker 1: the relationship. But nevertheless, didn't need it, hated it. It's
18:04
Speaker 1: not coming a mile away totally. And this what's so
18:08
Speaker 1: funny is because she's trying to use like essentially Google
18:12
Speaker 1: Translate to translate something she's looking at, but like hits
18:17
Speaker 1: the microphone button on accident, and then it picks up
18:19
Speaker 1: his conversation and it's like half of a Google translated conversation, right,
18:25
Speaker 1: uh huh, And she's watching it unfold. I'm like, is
18:29
Speaker 1: there any moment where she's like, oh, this is picking
18:33
Speaker 1: up his conversation. Maybe I shouldn't be listening to it. Yeah,
18:37
Speaker 1: good point. But instead she's pod of what she hears.
18:43
Speaker 1: You know, she feels like he's you know, duping her
18:45
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah it was. I just was so irritated
18:49
Speaker 1: by the whole thing. And my last wish is I've
18:52
Speaker 1: had just about enough of the now we just need
18:54
Speaker 1: to find someone for you. Nonsense, because repeat after me,
18:58
Speaker 1: being single is not a moral thing, right, I agree?
19:02
Speaker 1: Two great wishes. No, hey, let's talk to you. Just
19:05
Speaker 1: see that. Oh right, Mine are just two complaints. I
19:08
Speaker 1: don't have actual Like did you see that continuity? Continuity?
19:13
Speaker 1: Is that the word? It is? Continuity issues? Nothing like that,
19:16
Speaker 1: except except they did when they were on the trail.
19:19
Speaker 1: Oh oh wait, I have one when she was like
19:23
Speaker 1: asleep on the train. Yeah, he was in the other scene,
19:26
Speaker 1: he's like looking at her. I was like, no, no, no, no,
19:30
Speaker 1: my daughter took a picture of me asleep on an airplane.
19:32
Speaker 1: Oh and It's the most horrifying picture I've ever seen
19:35
Speaker 1: in my life. Yeah, there's no way you're looking beautiful
19:39
Speaker 1: like as you're resting your eyes on this train. There's
19:42
Speaker 1: no way. Honestly, when I wake up on an airplane, like,
19:45
Speaker 1: I look around to see who can see me, because
19:47
Speaker 1: I know that I looked ridiculous. You've been drooling. My
19:52
Speaker 1: mouth kings open when I sleep on a plane. I
19:54
Speaker 1: hate it so much. Yep, yep. And there was another
19:58
Speaker 1: train scene, whoa you could see like the fake green screen,
20:04
Speaker 1: oh background was like not real? Was there a train
20:08
Speaker 1: scene that bothered you? There was a train station scene.
20:10
Speaker 1: And I need to preface this by saying, I've been
20:12
Speaker 1: extremely irritable lately, and I'm not sure why. I think
20:15
Speaker 1: it's the weather, but I was irritated because in the
20:19
Speaker 1: train station, they're standing between the two trains and they're
20:23
Speaker 1: like bantering, bickering back and forth about coffee. They're standing
20:27
Speaker 1: dead center of a narrow walkway and you can see
20:29
Speaker 1: multiple people have to squeeze around them, get out of
20:33
Speaker 1: the way. Have this conversation somewhere else here are my
20:38
Speaker 1: other two did you see that moments? Just a petty
20:42
Speaker 1: complaint corner if I may. Jenny was supposed to only
20:45
Speaker 1: be there for like one day for the auction. She
20:49
Speaker 1: had all these like handbags. I'm real cute, but she
20:53
Speaker 1: had like a different handbag for every outfit, and she
20:56
Speaker 1: had all these great outfits. Where did they all come from?
20:58
Speaker 1: If she was just supposed to be their one great question?
21:02
Speaker 1: That was annoying. Also, we talked about it in our
21:05
Speaker 1: first impression because we were like, Okay, is a Rego British?
21:10
Speaker 1: Is he Italian? What's happening here? I like that we
21:14
Speaker 1: get Will Camp in his like natural form, right, Yeah,
21:18
Speaker 1: but what came first was the script that way, So
21:21
Speaker 1: then they're like, we gotta hire a British guy? Or
21:25
Speaker 1: did they hire Will Camp and say, let's just make
21:27
Speaker 1: this adjustment in the script that he's British but he
21:31
Speaker 1: has like Italian roots or whatever. Yeah, Honestly, I feel
21:34
Speaker 1: like it could have gone either way, but it seems
21:37
Speaker 1: more likely that they adjusted it to fit the actor
21:41
Speaker 1: so too, because they specifically had to call it out. Yeah.
21:46
Speaker 1: My only last did you see that is I'm a jerk,
21:49
Speaker 1: but I don't think balloons are a wedding decoration. And
21:52
Speaker 1: there's big balloon bouquets behind the bride and groom. I
21:58
Speaker 1: just think they're cheap and they fill a space. I
22:00
Speaker 1: had the same thought in my favorite all time movie,
22:03
Speaker 1: My Best Friend's Wedding. There's a scene at the wedding
22:06
Speaker 1: where they're outside on a tennis court filling hundreds and
22:08
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of balloons, and I just thought, this
22:11
Speaker 1: is like the wedding of the year in Chicago, and
22:15
Speaker 1: balloons are our decorp I don't think so. I don't
22:17
Speaker 1: think you're going to go into a wedding and actually
22:19
Speaker 1: see balloons. I have two Digitsu thats to add to
22:22
Speaker 1: this that were brought by viewers. One came in via
22:28
Speaker 1: an email and it has to do with Jenny visiting
22:31
Speaker 1: the church and lighting a candle. This is from Mary,
22:36
Speaker 1: who says, hi, ladies, as a Catholic who often lights
22:39
Speaker 1: candles and churches when traveling, I place a donation in
22:41
Speaker 1: the box first in tost to Italy. Jenny lights when
22:44
Speaker 1: and leaves bad form. Oh. Another thing that was posted
22:47
Speaker 1: in our Girls Go on Hallmark Facebook group about this
22:50
Speaker 1: movie was many people were shocked that Jenny takes the
22:57
Speaker 1: coffee from a Rigo early on, because they're like that's
23:01
Speaker 1: how you get rooffeed. Oh and I just the thought
23:05
Speaker 1: didn't even cross my mind. Yeah, if it was a bar,
23:09
Speaker 1: maybe I would have thought about it, but not like
23:11
Speaker 1: a coffee, you know. And I guess budget constraints apparently
23:16
Speaker 1: fill the space starting out have a budget for flowers. Yep. Yeah.
23:22
Speaker 1: What did you rate a toast to Italy? I'm scared
23:25
Speaker 1: two point seven five stars? May give it three point five.
