The Clue to Love

Sure this movie follows the standard love blueprint which makes viewing so pleasant but I also enjoyed how the writer included a secondary love story as well as the mystique of who "Aunt Hope" is.

Even though the main story centers between the lead actress and her male counterpart, I struggled to see them as a couple that were genuinely meant for each other. On the other hand the two main actresses really stood out because they had a great friendship chemistry and it was their acting that made the whole movie quite engaging with their indulgent interactions.

Overall I thought it was an easy laidback watch.

This is pretty standard romance fare, made nearly unwatchable by a one-note performance from the lead actress. It's a stretch to believe that a woman this vapid is a journalist at all, let alone a talented one. The rest of the cast saves the show, but it's an uphill climb for them.

Supposed to be a Comedy/Romance, but it was a saltless meal.

The acting was too weak. The two leading actors were uninspiring and unconvincing, and there wasn't even chemistry between them, not even any romantic feeling... Sorry.

The soundtrack of the movie was too bad, it feels like they gathered some "royalty free" melodies and just added it to the movie. Haven't seen a worse soundtrack on a Comedy movie ever.

The story itself wasn't too bad, it was just too bad executed. With higher budget, better director and better actors it might be supposedly a better movie, which at least could offer some romance and comedy elements.

Who made this trailer?! I watched it before doing this review as I forgot what the movie was about and which I watched a few weeks ago and didn't recall any hot air balloon which is in the poster. Anyways everything I remember from the movie was in this trailer! Even the ending scene is in the trailer! It does leave out a key "twist" which you find out 10 minutes before the end of the movie right after the give away that this trailer showed so I guess that's good if you wanted to avoid some spoilers. Very forgettable movie. I was very bored on how the main lead was jealous of the male lead for his success, it felt off and didn't add the to main story.

The lead male was the worst, most obnoxious character I have ever witnessed on one of these movies. If I had a nickel for every time he put his hands in his trouser pockets, I would be rich! His character was like a California politician that I won't mention by name. The whole plot of the movie was OK and there was a nice twist at the end, which was unexpected, so that was the only plus to the movie. I pushed through it even though it was pretty bad. Not sure if the lead actor was just bad or if it was just how his character was written. Either way, I was highly frustrated with it. Hard to watch!
