Foreign, SubtitlesMushy ball of corn covered with chocolate.
From other reviewers:
. . . maximum obviousness and minimum believability . . . distinctly old-fashioned feel to this glossy feminist melodrama, which could justly be described as Ross Hunter Reborn . . . forbidden love, an impossible choice, a secret pact. . . . Esther, Ada and Frank become entangled in brief relationships of love, lust and family before losing touch. It is only when the women reunite again fifty years later at Frank's funeral that they discover how much their lives had become intertwined through their different relationships with Frank.
. . . Bride Flight is an assortment of incidents — pregnancies, miscarriages, domestic arguments, tragedies, adoptions and surrogate births — that are ideally suited for a romance novel one might read on a plane, then leave behind in your seat upon landing.
. . . the picture feels awfully sudsy and familiar, consisting entirely of an assortment of cliche's that you’ve seen countless times before. Aside from its period New Zealand setting, there is little to distinguish Bride Flight from something you might watch briefly on Lifetime, then change the channel.
