Alte Liebe

Every single character of moderate importance and up is a complete and utter Train wreck of a human being in this movie. There is nothing about this movie that works. This movie should be avoided 100% of the time

This movie was just on Hallmark today and oh, wow is Meghan Markle a TERRIBLE actress. She is really stiff and wooden. It's hard to watch. All she does is wrinkle her forehead throughout the entire movie, and recite her lines looking constipated. The premise of the movie wasn't much better. It's easy to see why Meghan wasn't given more acting jobs. The whole movie was super cheesy and this was obvious early in. At least the other actors were believable in their roles. Do yourself a favor and skip anything where you see her name. Or, better yet watch her and give yourself an afternoon of hilarity.

This was a little dumb but cute enough to be worth your while if this is your genre. The character of Sammie was way too over-the-top and she wasn't believable as a person you think would exist in real life. The female lead was not bad but not very memorable. Also, the way the script is written makes it a little hard to like her - she makes a few questionable decisions.

Lochlyn Munro wasn't your typical romantic male lead, but did a really good job in this and was easily my favorite. I don't remember having seen him before, but looking at his IMDb profile, he's a busy guy and I can see why. He was very believable and likable. Overall, not a movie I'll probably see again, but worth my time on a lazy Saturday night.

I am usually a fan of these types of movies but this one was not very entertaining to watch. It was almost as if they made it up as they filmed. Not much made sense and was really a stretch almost to the point of unbelievability. For instance, he loves his girlfriend and wants to marry her. He is about to propose with an engagement ring in his hand and says nothing when she says she's going to Chicago even though she says she still wants to stay together. Seven years later she doesn't seem to care much for the city, her job, or her new boyfriend and doesn't make any changes on her own? Her best friend is dating her old boyfriend and is now engaged to him but not many back home seem to know even though it's a small town? Not even her parents? How it ended was really a stretch too. I could go on but it would be a waste of time and I already wasted enough of it watching this movie. Too bad because it was a pretty good premise but ruined by whoever wrote this script. I wish it had been better. Hopefully, sometime down the road, they'll use the same basic idea for a movie and hire better writers.

It is a typical movie but I enjoyed the storyline and there was not a lot of over the top drama. It was one you could kick back relax and enjoy. Predictable but I didn't mind and it had a good cast.
