Love Struck Café

This movie was your typical Hallmark fare. The thing that irritated me, and it's kind of petty, was that Megan was fixing "healthy" food for her father. He was healing up from a broken ankle and all she fixed that poor guy was salads. The man needs protein and he kept asking for meat. She in turn kept saying that while she was taking care of him he would be eating healthy. I agree, salads are healthy, but a moderate amount of meat is too. I think the writer was a vegetarian.... totally ridiculous. He would never get his strength back just eating greens.

I scored it quite highly for how good it is because it's right up my street. The kind of movie where nothing 'really' bad happens and they are all happy at the end. It warms my heart and makes me smile. It is a hallmark movie, so you either love them or you think they're cringy!

The storyline and setting were charming as always, but I felt that Megan was miscast. For someone who was supposed to be SO great with people, she came across as cold and unsure of herself, and looked way too old for the role. The male lead looked younger and not a match at all for Megan.

As a fan of this genre for reasons I can never fully explain I have enjoy these movies. I think fall harvest 2017 has been below average and dull. This is an exception to that rule.

This is a good movie not only for halmark, but for TV in general. It has nuance (never a Halmark strong point), heart, and a little drama. While adhering to the halmark formula it hides the ball well enough to give a little suspense. I have to say I did not fully love the ending, too easy and convenient and everyone gets everything, and it really did not have funny or light moments but all and all it was a good movie.

Hopefully this will be a prelude to a great season of Christmas movies, Halmark, your fans are waiting.

I thought this was a better than average Hallmark film, with some lovely points made about 1st love, change and staying true to your beliefs.

The boyfriend character was quite annoying and full of himself, so that only made me root for the woman's childhood flame more.

Overall, lovely stuff. Yes, these films follow a formula, but they certainly are enjoyable.
