The Love Club

I have a high tolerance for Hallmark movies but this was horrid. Maybe the plot would work if the characters were middle schoolers but they are adults. You know Nicole is in trouble when one of her first lines is about wanting to find a man to complete her. Fast forward ten years and she still has the same mind set. She ends up engaged to a guy who is a caricature of the typical Hallmark bad boyfriend, which is saying something. So she sets out to find her college pen pal with whom she felt a connection by cyberstalking him then messing with the remodeling of his business. Which he finds okay because he too felt a connection. That's all in the first third of the movie. It just goes downhill from there.

There were some funny lines and I liked Josh but Nicole is so neurotic and insecure I just couldn't finish. She should be a cautionary tale, not the heroine. And this movie falls into the sexist trope that the woman can lie and scheme with impunity but let the man out one for wrong and he has to grovel for forgiveness. No thanks.

The plot of this movie was awful. It was hard to get through. The lead in the movie "Nic" was insufferable. She lied about everything but gave Josh a hard time about his lies. I did not root for them to get together. I felt Josh could do better.

Nic spent the entire movie chasing the author of some letter from 10 years prior. And like most Hallmark movies it takes to the very end for her to discover that she was wrong. I know Hallmark lost a lot of their lead actresses/actors last year. Did they also lose their writers. Hallmark 2023 has been kinda bad so far. I'm holding out hope that it will get better.

I can't believe someone actually put money into making this movie, and that the script was approved. I stayed until the end, to be able to review it and see if something improved by the end of the picture, but everything kept getting worse. This isn't even a movie to watch when you don't want to pay attention and watch your cellphone, because the bad acting and script will make your head hurt.

And they say this is part of a series of movies? Sorry, this was more than enough. The only good part of it is that I turned off the TV and grabbed a book to ease my mind and nurture it after too much dumbness.

The ads for this new 4 part series sounded like a good idea with 4 women supporting each other over the ups and downs of love and life. But the first episode was somewhat disappointing. The characters were likeable enough, and the idea of two pen pals finding each other was a cute idea, but there were too many instances where there was dishonesty, deception, and pretence. You have to wonder how any relationship could start like that and survive. The characters are all in their 30's but act like silly teenagers. I have enjoyed both Marcus and Brittany in other movies but this was definitely not their best effort. Perhaps the next one in the series will improve and show more maturity and realism.

This "movie" is absolutely one of the most horrible in Hallmark's history. Truly unwatchable and disgusting. The actors should feel guilty to grace this this "film" with their presence. (Talk about selling out for the Benjamins!!) Disgusting in every way. Terrible script and storyline. For instance, the hapless "fiancé" was treated as disposal, insignificant trash by the lead female actor, who was portrayed as an innocent, helpless "love"victim (I won't mention her real name for fear of permanently associating her acting career with this piece of garbage). Needless to say, the writers, producers, and actors responsible for this movie should be ashamed of themselves. PLEASE don't produce any followup films and the thought of a "Love Club" series is terrifying.
