A Christmas Wedding Tail

A Christmas Wedding Tail is a delightful, heartwarming, family-friendly film released in 2011. Directed by Michael Feifer, the movie stars an exciting cast, including Jay Mohr, Jennie Garth, and Nikki Cox. Woven with elements of love, family, humor, and holiday spirit, A Christmas Wedding Tail excels in driving home the message of the importance of love and acceptance.

Jay Mohr, famously noted for his roles in hit series like "Suburgatory" and "Ghost Whisperer", voices Rusty, a lonely yet friendly mutt who crosses paths with Cheri, a beautiful and charming poodle whose voice is portrayed by Nikki Cox. These four-legged matchmakers set the plot into motion, developing a warm and touching narrative.

Meanwhile, Jennie Garth, who achieved national recognition for her role in the cult classic TV series, "Beverly Hills, 90210", steps into the human lead role of Susan. Susan is a single mother of two who runs into Jake, a divorcee played by Brad Rowe. Jake is also a single parent, with a son who is fond of Rusty.

The movie unfolds in a quaint little town decorated for the holiday season, setting the tone for a Christmas-themed narrative. Susan and Jake encounter each other on a regular basis due to their children’s school activities and the affection their kids have for Rusty and Cheri. Their shared experiences as single parents and the shared love for their pets leads to a friendship that gradually blossoms into love.

As the pets nudge their human friends closer together, they end up having humorous conversations about human behavior, which adds a fun dose of comedy to the otherwise sweet and romantic film. Rusty and Cheri's love story parallels the growing relationship between Susan and Jake, interspersed with sage life advice from their furry friends.

While Susan and Jake's romance is the primary plot of the movie, the storytelling does not shy away from exploring their individual struggles and triumphs as single parents. The narrative combines their journey of balancing work, personal life, and parenting, with the growing bond of friendship and love between them. Susan’s children Lilly and Jasper, and Jake’s son Dylan, deepen the storyline, adding more depth and warmth to the film.

Emmy Award-winning actor, Tom Arnold, brilliantly portrays the role of an out-of-work actor turned school janitor, who is more than meets the eye. Arnold's character adds a further layer of intrigue to the storyline.

The story reaches its climax as the holiday season draws near, and Rusty and Cheri have their paws full, helping their human friends navigate the road to matrimony. However, life is never as straightforward as we imagine, and the film deftly throws in some unexpected twists and turns, causing viewers to wonder if Jake and Susan's love story will follow the script of a conventional fairy tale or deviate into uncharted territories.

A Christmas Wedding Tail carries the essence of a comforting Hallmark movie, layered with a light, fresh dose of comedy. It's a feel-good film that revels in the simplicity of love and connects with viewers on a personal level, particularly resonating with those who have experienced the challenges and rewards of single parenthood.

Emphasizing love, family, and the magic of the holiday season, the film is a crafted tale of how sometimes love can be found in the most unlikely of places. The canine companions play such a pivotal role in the film that they steal the spotlight, offering viewers some important life lessons while brimming over with cuteness and charm.

A Christmas Wedding Tail is a movie that caters to all ages. The charm of romance intertwined with holiday cheer makes it an ideal Christmas movie, providing both laughs and a few heart-tugging moments. For those who love romance, Christmas, or dogs - or all of the above - this film is a must-watch. Lighthearted, feel-good, and full of love, A Christmas Wedding Tail is perfect for cozying up on the couch with the whole family, a blanket, and hot cocoa on a cold winter's day!
