Our Thoughts on “Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Vows We Have Made”
What We Loved about SSD: “The Vows We Have Made”
We were incredibly impressed with this movie. Let’s talk about the things that warmed our hearts:
- Beautifully Written Dialogue: The movie was wonderfully written, with many profound lines like “trust the timing” and poignant themes about holding on and letting go.
- Humor Amidst Tears: Even though the last 20 minutes were packed with tear-jerking moments, there were great light-hearted instances that provided the perfect balance.
- Character Development: Seeing characters like Sharon, Shane’s mom, evolve was a joy. Her relationship with Oliver was emotionally compelling, especially when she offers to be the mother he deserved.
- Creative Problem-Solving: Martha Williamson’s writing shines as Rita and Norman decide to help Charlie, a young mother. Instead of adopting her baby, they invite her to live with them. It’s an unconventional but touching solution.
- Flashbacks: The flashbacks to previous episodes were not just nostalgic but added depth to the overall narrative, making this feel like a fitting wrap-up to the series.
What We Wished For
While we loved most of the movie, there were a couple of things we wished were different:
- Rita, Norman, and Charlie Triangle: The timeline here was a bit confusing. How long have Rita and Norman been trying to have a baby? And the idea of them taking in Charlie and her baby seemed rushed and unconventional.
- Shane’s Sister: Shane’s sister, who had a big part in a previous movie, didn’t make an appearance, not even a mention. We would have loved a small cameo or at least an acknowledgment of her absence.
Did You See That?
Here are some moments that caught our eye:
- Opening Song: The movie opens with the same song as the previous one, “It’s All Good” by Kyle Treadway. We’re curious to see what the next movie’s score will be.
- Middle Names: During the wedding vows, we learn Shane’s full name is Shane Shannon McInerney, and Oliver’s is Oliver Joseph Lindley O’Toole. So many S’s in Shane’s family!
- Wedding Dress in a Puddle: After the wedding, there’s a scene where Shane’s wedding gown is dragging through a puddle. Really? They couldn’t do another take?
Our Rating
Without a doubt, this movie gets a five-star rating from us. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, beautifully crafted and perfectly performed. As a note of concern, we’re a bit worried about the next installment. How could it possibly live up to this?
