The Right Girl

At the start, I found the lead character unbearable and nearly gave up, but as she truly finds the best version of herself, this becomes a great movie. All kids should get a job in their mid-teens and really value their own and other people's time and money - it is just as important as school - otherwise they'll be immature for years, just like this girl. There's a good age range and mix of characters/situations so something for most of us to identify with. The story and the movie itself show that, despite the grief, 'bad' things are often something to be thankful for, and not always bad things after all.

I loved every minute of this movie. My favorite stars were here. The storyline appealed to me. I love movies where characters evolve and relationships are tested. The picture was amazingly clear. Story of a young woman who experiences a life changing event that tests her in every way. The new relationships she forms along the way become a blessing to her and her true character evolves. A romantic, fun, sweet movie. It ended well. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

This movie starts with a premise that isn't quite as overused as some - rich girl goes broke. I kind of expected something like Harvest Moon.

Then about half way the story takes a turn I didn't expect and I liked it. But once that was established, the ending was predictable.

I wasn't in the mood to watch Anna Hutchison be a witch so I used FF button a lot through the first 20 minutes. After that she does become a different person and it was one of the more blatant personality swings I've seen. I always have to remind myself that this genre of movie always pushes reality way to the side and that's to be expected.

Anna Hutchison and Jonathan Patrick Moore had chemistry and it was nice watching them together.

The kid is a bit precocious, but adds a nice touch.

When it comes to these Hallmark movies one has to set the bar to what they are: Girl meets boy, fall for each other, have a misunderstanding, and love wins out in the end. Rinse & repeat. As much as I like action, sci-fi, and even raunchy comedy, I like Hallmark romances because they are a complete break from violence and coarse language. Reminiscent of 1950's RomComs. Good clean fun where you don't have to think too much about it while being entertained.

What makes some Hallmark movies better than others is how they get there, For me, likeability of the lead and inserting some humor in the story really boosts how much I enjoy the movie. Although not quite as good as Harvest Moon, this similar movie also has some good humor in it that makes it very enjoyable. As unlikeable as the lead is to start, after getting a taste of her own medicine while poor, realizes just how awful she was. She does become very likeable as a result. Her journey is laced with humor and there's several other likeable characters involved as well. I really did enjoy this movie as a result.

I fully understand those that turned off the movie after 10 minutes, I almost did because the lead character was awful, but stick with it and if you are a lover of romance or redemption then it will put a smile on your face, I know it worked for me.
