Beauty and the Billionaire

It wasn't bad. Over all, the movie was fun to watch, the brother Pete's many facial expressions had me and my mum cracking up most of the movie. We did notice the main actresses hair changed abruptly from dirty blond to almost black with no explanation. 😂 I personally found the main male lead pretty annoying, but the story was still fun and engaging. Not something I'd rewatch(I only do that when they're really **** good) but it did the job just fine. (I did think the guys character changed about to fast to be at all realistic but ehh so what.. at least us forget about the crippling depression that is life for an 1 and 33 minutes. (Yes I'm rambling because I'm trying to fulfill the amount of characters needed to submit this review)

I'll start off by saying over all I really like this one. Sure it's a bit low budget at times as far as maybe dialogue and some acting, but even with that I've enjoyed it enough to watch it multiple times. I wouldn't even recommend a different cast. I think everyone it it was pretty good though they could stand to hone their skills a bit to make the acting more natural and less one dimensional. Tanner Gillman as far as acting chops led the film even if his role was secondary. He knows how to make it seem natural and real. The leads did pretty well too but have a little room for improvement though there were times they too carried their parts well.

You could tell the business speak was rather generic but it did better than other movies I've seen in the same genre.

Like I said, it's not major ratings worthy but I still enjoy it. I hope Tanner Gillman gets more opportunities to show how he can carry a role naturally.

I gave it a 9 because what it lacked in polished dialogue and acting it made up for in production quality.

Addison Burke, on vacation from her medical practice management job, awkwardly gets snagged in to help her brother who works for the boss of a billion dollar company. She gets to see the two sides first hand, of how the CEO mistreats his underlings, and how his people try to butter him up for future career advantages. The film takes you to St Martin where all try to make a killing buying a company. Written and edited by Brian Brough. The film was very well cast, especially with Sashleigha Hightower. Because the script with so much subtle humor, I had to watch it a second time to laugh again and process the pressures of uber-corporate life.

What do you need for a good Hallmark-Style Rom-Com. You need a male lead and a female lead that are engaging and have some chemistry. Check. You need a plot that, even if it follows a predictable pattern, has a few quirks and twists that make it interesting. Check. You need a fun background for the action to take place. Check. You need good dialogue with a little wit. Check. Most Rom-Coms in one way or another follow a Jane Austen book. This movie is no exception. We've got Pride and Prejudice here with an arrogant billionaire learning some life-lessons and falling in love with a spunky female who's not afraid to stand up to him. It's really nicely done from the beginning to the concluding kiss you know is coming but it's not about the kiss, it's about the journey and this is a fun one.

This movie was ok. I thought the actors did a good enough job. I liked the storyline. Sure there were some inconsistencies but overall it kept my interest.

The relationships depicted were ok. I found the dynamic between the leads worked well. It reminded me of the romance stories I used to read which I don't have the time for anymore.

In any case I always appreciate movies that are filmed in nice locations. This one met my expectations in that regard.

It was the usual ending. I think overall it met my expectations. I could watch it again, if it comes again, months from now or next year. I did not save it.
