A bit lighter in tone than the The Road Less Traveled, the new film has a few wistful threads of loss and new beginnings throughout. After a parcel that passed through the DLO with some missed clues gets a second unrelated look from Shane that reveals them, Rita finds a kinship with the sender. Then the countdown to the wedding also becomes a countdown to reunite the lost package with its recipient and maybe the recipient with the sender.

As with the previous movies, the relationships among the core four are front and center, with some lovely callbacks to Rita and Norman’s families and their histories. Their impending marriage also reverberates to Shane and Oliver, who weigh their own relationship against that of their friends.
And there’s some levity, too, like when Oliver navigates best man duties with an assist from his Dad. The film is a lovely cherry on top of the sweet, sweet love story we’ve watched unfold.

Senior Writer/Columnist: Heather began writing about TV way back when Jensen Ackles was Alec on Dark Angel (so, "dibs.") EDITOR NOTE: No dibs!. She never got on the reality bandwagon. Instead, her TV viewing must be scripted. She's intensely loyal to actors, writers, and directors and loves comedy, drama, suspense, and sci-fi equally. If it was filmed in Vancouver (or Canada, really), she's going to be all over it. Don't look for snark. If she's made the time to watch it, she likes it (or loves it), because life's too short to watch sh-tty TV. But she will call BS when it's right there for the taking. By day, she writes marketing communications for the IT sector. She's a lifelong Texan (minus the pre-K years), so you'll have to accept the liberal use of "y'all."
