The ensemble cast includes J.K. Simmons, Mike Colter, Alice Lee, Jessica De Gouw, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Jackie Earle Haley.

Lastly on August 17, the Hallmark Channel movie A Costa Rican Wedding will debut at 8 PM. A klutzy Maid of Honor (Rhiannon Fish) gets help from her handsome nemesis (Christopher Russell) when things go awry at her best friend’s Costa Rican wedding.

Mark your calendars!
