It Happened One Valentine's

The premise of a reporter doing a hit piece is fairly common, but then having her try to bring romance to her two targets is a twist on that. But it never lives up to the possibilities it starts out with. And the scheming gets convoluted.

And Allie is a jerk. I like what the reviewer said about her busting up the lovers holding hands during her jog, but the other things she does and her whole attitude cement the issue. She's a liar, a schemer and deserves to be sued. I'm not a fan of entertainment reporters. At one point she says something about the "pap" (paparazzi) as if that's not her, but it is. She seems to be the perfect example. What makes it worse is that she seems to like Carson and still can't keep herself from scheming behind her back.

Allie (Haley Webb) and Caleb (James Maslow) spend almost no time together through at least half the movie, except for what are really casual conversations with a little bite in them. And even in the second half, there is basically only one encounter to develop the romance. If there was any chemistry there I didn't care.

Now Carson (Britney Underwood) - her story I wanted to see. She's a sweet girl. Her relationship with Matty should have been the focus of the movie, but that wouldn't have fit the premise. It is a strong secondary story which allowed me to add a few stars.

The acting isn't good. None of the actors seem natural. Underwood is a little too bubbly. Webb is trying too hard. Webb's Allie is supposed to be pretending, but Webb makes that too obvious.

The last part is so predictable it's anticlimactic.

Can people really change their spots. This kind of movie always says yes. But in Allie's case, it was asking too much.

The two leads were so mismatched beyond belief. The male lead is in fact 5 years younger than his co-star, and boy did it show ! He looked about 15 while she could have played his mother. And was that HIS voice doing the singing ? because it sounded very much like a female it was so light and airy fairy.

Like most of these Hallmark films, the story was implausible, but this one took the biscuit. Here was this 'homely' looking character (age difference aside) that this young pop star was going to fall in love with, er, I don't think so, and certainly not with all the more attractive females around him.

The casting directors need to up their game methinks.

This is a sweet Hallmark movie. Yes it's extremely cheesy but sometimes that's just what you need. As for the other review about her looking like his mother! Wow! We all have a right to our own point of view, mine is not this! She is a very pretty woman & there was some good chemistry between them but they didn't look a good match together. Saying that, I quite like a movie for not picking the obvious two, it's nice if the guy is shorter than the woman or the woman is a little older. He is a singer in real life so I should think that is his voice in the film. Look, in my opinion, if you want hallmark sickly sweet, escape from reality, then this is a sweet film, I enjoyed it. There are definitely worse hallmark films out there

I finished the movie with only a few skipping forwards but I regret wasting 90 minutes on this. The music was AWFUL! The actors were ok but the script was mediocre so the result is not worth your attention. There are at least 30 movies with identical plot lines--its highly likely you can find a better one.

What a breath of fresh air! This is such a funny, heartfelt movie. The cast is incredible, the soundtrack is amazing and the cinematography (especially the overhead shots of L.A.) is excellent. A movie you can watch with your whole family. Yes I recommend It. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/15/2021
