Summer in the City

It's a little like Devil Wears Prada, but cleaner. However, it deepened my desire to NOT live in the downtown big city.

Had to watch this with my wife. She liked it. I wanted to scream lol. This lead actress needs her acting refined. She overacts in closeup scenes. Typical Hallmark movie. Made in Canada with Canadian actors pretending it takes place in America. Shame on them.

I have a seen a lot of Hallmark movies, and this still remains as one of my favorites. I don't know if it's the plot, the way it play out, the characters, or even the New York vibe. I watched this before I went to NY and as a person who lives abroad, I wanted Taylor to fulfill the dream that many of us live through movies and books, go to the big city and do what you love. I will definitely see it again. I swear every time Phil looked at Taylor (after they got to know each other, of course) some part of me melted, and that does not happen in every movie. The actors have great chemistry, and maybe that's what makes this movie so special to me. Unfortunately it doesn't happen in every one, so my advice to you? Watch it, you won't regret it, it's a great way to spend an afternoon.

The main character goes through a lot of downs which makes you happy for her when she has her ups. There is depth to the characters. And each one has a distinct personality. And the love story is like an early 2000's film. Yes well worth watching James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 3/25/2021.

Is it cheesy? Yes. Implausible? Absolutely! Obviously not filmed in NYC? Yup.

But as far as Hallmark movies go... it's not bad. The leads are attractive and convincing. The story is not entirely cliched (although a bit predictable). It has all of the elements of a feel good, I don't want to have to think rainy afternoon movie. You know the kind of movie you put on when you just want something silly and easy.
