Loved "Unleashing Mr Darcy", and eagerly awaited this sequel. Rather disappointed. The writing was rather lame. direction was too loose. At the end of several scenes, the conversations just died. Lizzy just sits there and grins foolishly. No comeback from her or toward Aunt Violet! Frances Fisher's character lacks credibility. Aunt Violet would not have given in and accepted Lizzy so easily, even to get back into Donovan's good graces. Given her scheming in the first movie, she would have done more to squeeze Lizzy out! This conflict would have created some much needed tension among the main characters and stirred up some more interest. Also, Lizzy's(Cindy's) voice in many scenes is too loud and shrill, such as during the video call with her mother and sister Jenna.. They were giggling like a bunch of teenage schoolgirls and Lizzy's voice was almost like a screech. The only one who seems true to his character is Donovan(Ryan Paevey). At times, he looks like he is wondering what is going on and how he got there. One last criticism! For an educated man, Donovan's poor grammar in one scene is glaring! When talking to Henry in his office one evening, he states he wants the "honeymoon to be about Elizabeth and I." Any elementary school student understands "about" is a preposition and takes the objective form of what follow. i.e., He should have referred to "Elizabeth and ME." The movie did start off on a good note, literally. The dance scene on the rooftop terrace was the best in the movie. The music was romantic and their closeness reflected their love and caring. I was disappointed that there wasn't more of that tenderness and romance.

I liked the content of this movie. Worth watching. Better then most. Ryan Paevey is a good actor, believable. It would have been better if Cindy busby wasn't in it. She forces her acting, stiff not relaxed.
