nothing like love

Trailer—Love in Store

source: Love in Store

Most people tuning into these movies want to see some semblance of a love story. In the first half hour of this movie, all you see are two people bickering and being mean to each other. It got so annoying that I stopped watching. I suppose some people can fall in love that way, but it isn't particularly pleasant to watch.

Makes me smile. Those that didn't like it need to lighten up. The dialogue was clever and believable. Reminds me of another favorite, think it's called Surprised by Love. Just fun and up lifting. Good even for non Hallmark

The real problem is Jackee Harry, not the most convincing Sharon. The good thing -Robert Buckley. The status of David Crabtree as brother and uncle is the best part , for me. And, sure, the vacuum as metaphor for life style and its basic fears , like central piece of Monthly Pick. And , in some measure, the naivety of story. Not a very convincing chemistry between main actors but a decent film, in Hallmark style. And more important, inspired way to give to shopping channal theme some charm. So, no surprises , not real dramas, spoons of predictibility and the desired end.

I really enjoyed this charming movie from Hallmark.

I love this movie the actors were natural and I found their rivalry funny and I wish the ending was not so choppy

For starters, the story is practically all overused plot points (I'm really tired of the one where the leads have to compete for a promotion), ... until you get to the end. I think for many, the ending will generate strong feelings - I think it is a love it or hate it ending. I hated it. In fact I had to hit the FF button a couple times there. But I can also see how it was kind of clever and many people, maybe even most, will love it. What I really didn't like about this movie was how shallow the two leads are. I don't remember the one other movie I saw Alexandra Breckenridge, but apparently from my review, I loved her. Not this time. She comes off as the perfect TV shopping host - a combination of perky and shallow. Several times her smile looked fake. I couldn't trust her and even when she got more vulnerable, I couldn't shake my initial take on her. The whole point of Robert Buckley's character was the appearance of macho and shallow. So I had the same problem with him. Even when we were supposed to see the real David, I couldn't shake the first impressions. And I couldn't see any chemistry. A lot of on screen couples establish chemistry with the early banter and these two tried, but it came off as mean to me. Later when they were supposed to be connecting, my mind was going - why? Towards the end there's some well done philosophizing about being scared, and having to be perfect. Note on ballot box stuffing. Whenever I suspect it, I look at the rating distribution. This one convinced me that any ballot stuffing was inconsequential to the results.

I really like Alexandra Breckenridge. I really like Robert Buckley as well. So, this should be fine, I thought. Well, I thought wrong, this was disappointing. The plot was quite original, I don't know if there was anything similar before, so kudos for that. I'm tired of Hallmark making the woman desperate for marriage. Stop. It makes me angry. Not every woman wants to get married or is in a rush to do it. Terrie has an amazing career in front of her but, sure let's bring the subjet up to make her look like she is. Carlo Marks plays the boyfriend who doesn't want to get married, at least he was not a dushbag like the rest of them. Again, kudos for that. Both Alexandra and Robert were great. Separately. But I didn't see any chemistry. It was probably the worst part of this. I kept getting distracted by anything while watching this movie. I wasn't into it, I feel like something was missing (other than chemistry). I also appreciated that this wasn't Valentine's Day themed. I had big expectations but unfortunately I was let down.
