Love by Design

I really enjoyed this movie! For me, it rates right up there with the best Hallmark movies. It is a lovely story about romance, family, and friendship. I loved seeing the beautiful scenes in Romania. It brought back memories of my visit there and made me want to return. There are plenty of Romanian actors and the beautiful Romanian language was used as well. I loved how authentic it was. I enjoyed the fact that the females in the movie are strong, independent women, yet feminine. Casting Jane Seymour into the movie was a big plus too. Most actors here are unknown, but they did a fair job of acting with room for improvement. I think this was Guila's first movie production.... I hope to see more from her! I would have rated it a ten, but it was rather predictable, though not much more than most Hallmark movies.

The contrast between the cosmopolitan stresses of New York City to the idyllic countryside of Romania was refreshing. Someone referred to Jane Seymore as a dried up old prune that brought nothing, her character was bitter & twisted, I've always enjoyed her roles. Good to see do something out of usual type casts roles. Enjoyable to watch with nothing negative to say.

Danielle ( Giulia Nahmany ) is a romanian working in new york city, and just loving her life. But when her mover- shaker boss Vivien (Jane Seymour) lets a coworker present Danielle's idea, she takes a stand. And is now out of work. Sound familiar ? Some similarities to Devil Wears Prada. And eight years later. When Danielle returns home, her mother, and all the neighbors want to help. When she almost runs down a british guy, a romance blossoms. And her family and friends are more help than she ever thought they would be in getting her back on her feet. It's cute. Simple.. nothing too crazy, but its good. Story by Giulia Nahmany. Directed by Michael Damian. Showing on roku channel.

This is a really enjoyable movie, along the lines of a Hallmark type movie. There was some cheesy parts, but good acting and a nice ending!

This is a very good movie - it contains romance, humor, glimpses into the fashion world and beautiful views of Romania. The lead actress was wonderful - and the supporting cast did a great job as well. My husband and I watched this movie with my elderly parents - so nice to not worry about hearing bad language or seeing explicit sexual situations. I highly recommend this movie ! Oh, and I even heard my husband laugh a time or two while watching :)
