Love Blossoms

This movie could have been so much better than it was. Yes, the two leads are gorgeous, and so is the scenery. However, nothing really happens in the movie except the heroine is trying to save her father's perfume company--but there is NO suspense or intrigue in how she saves it. Pacing is leaden and plodding. She is so rude and overbearing to the male lead when she first meets him, tells him his job (designing gardens at a botanical museum) is a "waste of his talents." I can't imagine how a woman would attract a man after she insulted a job that he went to college to get. The leads have no chemistry.

If you compare this movie to Lacey Chambert's "Love, Romance, and Chocolate," this is a big miss. Disappointing because I usually love Hallmark movies that are set overseas in "exotic" locations.

p.s. Why cant Hallmark find people who can act. If you watch old black and white movies from the 40's, everyone in the movie from the maids to the cooks to the secretaries can act better than most of the LEADS in a hallmark movie. It's crazy. Maybe it was the studio system back then, where they helped train people under contract in their craft. Maybe Hallmark should have acting classes for the "actors."

The movie is slow, the scenery is gorgeous, but can Hallmark please stop casting Brittany Bristow in roles with accents. Her accents are cringeworthy

Halmark IS improving the quality of their movies. I have noticed the shift. This is a brand new movie for 2017 and it has a different idea, at least. Hallmark is beginning to think beyond and outside of the box when it comes to script-writing. I thought it was a cute movie. I never suspected who the guilty party was that ratted out the company, but I knew something didn't sit well with me and this character right from the beginning of this movie. This character played the part well, driven to get the results desired for who we thought was to be the 'original' team who created the formula. Little did we know! Guess you'll have to watch the movie to see who was on the competitor's side. It's a decent chick and 'sappy' dude flick.

I thought this was a pretty decent film. The characters were okay and I really liked Dec, but I thought Violet was really annoying throughout most of the movie. It was still pretty okay though. It wasn't my favourite Hallmark film, but still good nonetheless.

It's Set in Bruges, the shooting locations are very apt and lovely. This slow yet well-directed romance is suitable to be played in the background while you work on something. You hardly come across Hallmark movies where actors have accents and hence its refreshing to see some of the supporting casts carry speak in accents.
