ecaprarie I was watching TV, when my zapping took me to this movie.The pivot of the story is a wedding dress, that could not be worn, because the bridegroom died right before the wedding day. The dress was forgotten of, only to 'reappear' many years later, when many stories start rotating around its reappearance. Narration is simple, but smooth and delightful. Acting is pleasant and casting well chosen. I saw only a bit of it at the beginning, then I moved to another channel. I turned to it again later before switching my TV off. Now I regret not having seen it thoroughly. No comments and no date were written in my TV magazine, therefore it was hard for me to make up my mind; furthermore actors are not well-known outside the USA; I am asking myself why the movie was so underestimated. No trash, no vulgar dialogs, no gruesome passages: without these ingredients a movie is not a movie?

HermioneGranger167 This movie is in the fine tradition of a good Hallmark Hall of Fame movie...though it was produced by CBS not Hallmark. I'm a sucker for a good love story, and this one did it for me...with a box of kleenex being required to make it through the ending. If you're not one who likes to pay attention to a whole movie, then don't bother with this one, cause the story keeps changing, each segment following the journey of a wedding dress and the lives it touches, and changes forever. The only thing that disappointed me about this movie is that I did not tape it when it was on.

scrapdawg I loved this movie. Yes, it is predictable as far as you are pretty certain what the end will be. But the journey to get there was entirely enjoyable and full of sometimes far-fetched twists and turns. Good chemistry between all the cast. It's a "wifey" movie for sure, sweet and romantic. I watched it twice the weekend I taped it and smiled through it both times.

8-Foot The uniquely beautiful wedding dress of the title makes its way through multiple lives and romantic relationships, even though used only twice. The journey is a rather improbable closed loop, via chance and small-world-isn't-it connections of the disparate characters. An awfully lot of story is packed into 90 minutes or so, yet because of its serial nature is not hard to follow or decipher. Details will not be supplied here; the ending will not be surprising, only the means by which it is eventually reached. While unabashedly sentimental, this story never becomes sappy. O.K., maybe just a tad sappy near the end.So much second, third, and fourth rate stuff is out there that it's a joy to see first-class movie story telling. Acting is superb throughout, with a large and rewarding cast.(In case you've missed Neil Patrick Harris' latter-day works, as I have, our "Doogie Howser, M.D." is now indisputably an adult, fully normal, and still a good actor.)
