Zufällig... Liebe

I wanted to watch this purely to see why it's never mentioned as part of Meghan's acting CV.

Strangely enough, she's featured prominently in the foreground on the poster and holds the starring role spot on IMDB. I find this hard to believe as she is definitely the supporting actress here albeit the character that drives the action forward in a very Shakespearian manner.

She plays Mindy, Laura's roomate, and is the female trampy version of a "player". She parties every night and brings home one night stands who she then ignores in the morning. She's quite promiscuous and her comments and actions are more raunchy than usual Hallmark movies.

The 'real' lead actress (Abby Wathen) is an aspiring actress who accidentally spills coffee on a would-be screenwriter (Michael Rady) in a cafe. It's love at first sight for the pair of them but they are both shy and don't exchange numbers.

They spend the rest of the movie trying to find each other. It's fun to watch how that all pans out and I truly liked how sweet and naive Laura was and how she handled all her mishaps calmly without much drama in contrast to the crass, loud Mindy.

I've liked Michael Rady in other Hallmark movies so I probably cut him a bit more slack than his acting as Kevin deserved. He was supposed to be timid and he didn't have much of a part to work with but he could have still shown a bit more spark I think. They were well suited as a pair though so perhaps that was intentional.

I wonder if this rom-com is played down by Meghan's camp because of how raunchy her character is. She was hired as the "lead actor's love interest" on Suits, according to her in an interview on Larry King Live, and she is always cast in sexy roles. Even her Reitman's campaign and a few music video appearances are sexy. Funnily enough I find her extremely 'girl-next-door' material and her partial nudity in Suits and attempts to be sexy quite cringeworthy.

Bad acting, weak plot. In my opinion it was just bad, And extremely cliché.

Only liked one of the characters, the rest were awful. Script was poor and acting abysmal .

The premise was promising, as the two main characters were developing nicely to their ill fated encounter. But that's where things fizzled and became quite predictable and mundane: silly, sappy formulaic Hollywood. The narrative was not very amusing, a fast food romance. Michael Rady as Kevin was flat and the sequence with the studio executives was pedestrian. Laura, played by Abby Wathen, teased with potential but could not muster enough without the hook of her roommate, Meghan Markle who sparkled as Mindy, offering the only real laughs throughout the movie, salvaging it from being flat out awful. The tie in to the talk show interview with the "Laws of Attraction" thread was sophomoric and hard to watch especially the scene as the credits rolled.

Meghan Markle plays a female version of a total player, and if this is any indication of her acting skills I can see why she married a Prince! Possibly the worst film I've ever watched! Don't waste your time!! (and I agree with the review that said it was older than 2013,so not sure if they dragged out an old script??)
