Beauty and the Billionaire

I enjoyed watching this movie. I liked the lead female character, Addison, and how she is portrayed by Sashleigha Hightower. Chris Reid as Justin was believable in his role. As usual...the relationship starts off rocky but the difference in this story is that you could see when and why these two started and did develop romantic feelings for each other. Typically, in these romance movies I never understand how or why the leads fall in love.

The journey from dislike to like to love was engaging and we see and feel the transition.

Even Addison as brother Pete, played by Tanner Gillman made a progressive change as well. I was on the fence at first with his character who wad really just a vehicle to introduce/involve the sister in the story.

Overall, I recommend watching. Not sure if I would watch it again but I did enjoy it.

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.

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)

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.

I enjoyed general storyline but had a feeling from every moment the actors play is artificial. I don't know what it is about - the pauses where they respond before they had a time to consume the information, maybe facial expressions that do not match what is said or feeling they are trying to remember the lines, mismatching connections between the shots or the combination of all above. Even internals of a jet look artificial. Could have been just my perception but there are only handful of movies that I had that feeling about.

Overall - ok to watch once but is not looking to be re-watching. Just ok overall.
