Anything for Love

Every time I say I'm just going to write a normal review and every time I air my grievances haha so here goes she has lived in Chicago her whole life and has never been to Wisconsin? Lake Geneva is less than 2 hours from Chicago. Or Milwaukee? Never had to go for a deal? A weekend with friends when you're young? My family never went anywhere we had to drive, but I went a few times growing up somewhere nearby. obviously not filmed in Chicago, but we are used to that by now typically in Hallmark movies there is the asshole boyfriend and then they fall die the nice guy and don't do anything about it until they breakup. Here she blantantly starts dating someone else while she is with the asshole. And not by happenstance she goes on a dating site. a man that rich wouldn't be at a hospital like that. They shoulda just used a fancy downtown building for the outside instead of what they used. others have mentioned that by now we know there are male nurses. That is true, but the dad would totally same something. I still hear people say things like wow I had a male nurse. Stupid yes. But isn't it equally stupid women still play down their powerful jobs? That's kinda the point. I like these 2 together. I wish she did more Hallmark movies. I have always loved her. I really enjoyed the movie overall. The acting is really good. There are good lessons that are well done. The characters and their journeys mirror each other.

While I like both actors, they have zero chemistry. Also felt it was slow-moving. So disappointed in this one.

My wife Pamela and I enjoyed this film. Quirky, funny and strong characterisation. Would have thought the diners might have given it away. As well as a woodcutter's cabin.....Good watch in South Australia Corona Virus times. Look after those you love and be friendly to those you meet.

On the most part, while uneven, the 2016 Countdown to Valentine's Day Hallmark batch was not bad at all. 'Dater's Handbook' was the only real misfire, with 'Valentine Ever After' being particularly good. The premise for 'Anything for Love' didn't really sound that promising, actually it sounded dumb and unrealistic, but still it anyway as a Hallmark completest who saw plenty of good and more 2016 Hallmark films and who likes Paul Greene in most of his work. 'Anything for Love' was not bad at all and actually quite enjoyed it. It is far from perfect and doesn't completely avoid the traps that the premise had, but it surprisingly did not turn out as over silly and unrealistic as it sounded on paper. As far as the 2016 Countdown to Valentine's Day films go, it is not on the same level as 'Valentine Ever After' but it is infinitely better than 'Dater's Handbook' (not that that is particularly hard, a film would have to be near irredeemable to be worse than that). There are things that don't quite come off. The story is admittedly often very silly and some serious suspension of disbelief is needed. Especially in the contrived final act, where a lot of awkward and forced dialogue can be heard and where some characters are at their most frustrating in their vague and rash decision making. Did find a few characters annoying and less than subtly played, particularly Reggie, and the ending was unpleasantly syrupy and far too neat (undeserved too). The story can be very predictable and can drag at times. However, the acting is fine on the whole with very appealing performances from both Greene, amiable and subtly charismatic as ever, and Erika Christensen who isn't robotic or affected. Their characters aren't too perfect or have overblown flaws, and their chemistry is genuine and sweet while not exactly on fire. It is well filmed with lovely scenery, while the music isn't too constant or over-scored. Enough of the writing is fun and light-hearted as well as charming and heartfelt. The story is very flawed, but doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't treat the subject as too much of a joke. Did appreciate how it covered some very relevant and important issues, not many Hallmark films tackle prejudice/discrimination but 'Anything for Love' does and more than decently. Concluding, decent if unexceptional. 6/10.

Let's not get bogged down in the debate about the importance of nurses. We all know how vital they are. Paul Greene is the heart and soul of this movie. Erika Christensen is just there to add pretty. I wished that Ali Liebert had a bigger role. She is one spicy firecracker! And it's always great to see Tom Butler, one of the stars of the classic Miracle in Manhattan.

Since when is a NURSE, a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, something to be ashamed of? It's not like he works for minimum wage at the effing car wash or 7-11. And who doesn't correct him when they meet to give her real name? The acting was fine but I cannot imagine what would have made the actors sign on for this laughable script. Just wow. And she had no reason not to break off things with mister sort-of boyfriend creeper dude before she started filling out an online dating profile.

Erica Christensen as Katherine and Paul Greene as Jack Cooper were incredible together, the chemistry really works. This is first movie I have seen with Erica Christensen in it but Paul Greene always shines. This plot was interesting it moved along at a brisk pace. The music did not overpower the movie. No complaints here, everything was good. Roxie the dog did a great job too, her character development was spot on, great job of portraying a dog Roxie. My advice: I highly recommend this movie,

Yes, it does seem a bit outdated that in 2016 people still felt it was odd that a guy could be a Nurse BUT, that aside this is a great Hallmark film. For me, two things make a good Hallmark film - whether the leads have chemistry, and also whether the story holds up. This one ticks both the boxes, and provided a nice bit of entertainment. I thought Erika Christensen did well conveying both sides to her character also. Good stuff.

In Chicago, Katherine Benson (Erika Christensen) is a driven CEO of a successful family property developer company. Everybody is concerned about her dating life. She has been nominally dating Charles Hodges but she figures that he wants to take over the company from her and her father. Jack Cooper (Paul Greene) is a charming honest guy. He's happy to be a nurse but all the girls look down on his job. Kate gets pushed into internet dating by her assistant and switching profiles with her. Jack decides to do the same but his immoral friend changes his profile. They fall for each other but the lies are inevitably uncovered. It's Hallmark. The leads are beautiful. They would make beautiful babies. The premise comes out of some sort of sitcom misunderstanding and awkward lies. It's not the best. It would help if Kate isn't dating that jerk. At the very least, she needs to break up with him. The attitude about male nurses seems very outdated and oddly universal. Once the father goes to the hospital, there is no reason to not tell the truth except it is needed for story construction reasons. The best friend Reggie Le Duca is annoying and Debbie is completely out of his league. The obvious move is for him to lie about his job and Debbie falls for it. The movie doesn't do that and I hate it even more for it. It could have tied into the original premise. The premise is problematic for many reasons, mostly since either person could have told the truth at any time. His reasoning after discovering the truth is problematic as well. It's all a little problematic although I do like the two lead actors. There are surprisingly deep moments like Kate accidentally sideswipes Debbie with a comment. Even that scene could have done more. Despite liking the actors and the characters, there is lots that need some massaging.
