Just My Type

The set or art director went overboard on the Spring silk flowers that littered nearly every scene! It became so distracting that it was hard to focus on the film! Obviously filmed in January or February for Spring. Like many of the Holiday films, cheap and overdone decor are a staple of Hallmark movies..... invest in better props and less is more! Other than that, cute story and well acted by the leads.

Bethany is always fun and she did not disappoint! This was a clever one. The title is very fitting for the subject. I liked the quiet nature of how their relationship developed and of course, it had a great ending! Hallmark, you did it again!

This is one of my favorite Hallmark romances, due mostly to the performance of Bethany Joy Lenz as Vanessa, a magazine writer up for promotion, who happens into an opportunity to snag a big story. Lenz plays the character in a believable and endearing way, making Vanessa a lovable person.

Brett Dalton plays the part of Martin Clayborne, a reclusive author who shuns publicity. His chemistry with Lenz feels natural.

The action takes place in a rustic area of Washington state, but the story does not overdo the city-versus-country theme, unlike many such romances. This is a story about self-actualization.

It's a Hallmark romance. That's down side. On the upside, it's a cut above the above the norm for Hallmark. This movie is worth watching. Although it's somewhat predictable, we quickly became enthralled in it. Despite another review, we didn't find any dull moments. It's simple, but well planned out. As with some of the great movies, each scene is critically important and builds onto the next. The story keeps your attention on its own simple merits without any wild scenes to prop it up. The interplay and acting of the 2 main characters is very good and quite realistic and you enter into the relationship with them. The two were genuine and didn't walk around with the fake "Hallmark smile." Instead, the facial expressions were priceless and told a story in themselves. The attraction between them takes time...and was full of intrigue. Although the secondary acting is borderline and brought the movie down from higher ranks, it's acceptable and actually fit in quite well. It was enjoyable, and we watched it again 2 more times, something I've only done with some of the top movies. I give it a 7.3.

This movie was so good thanks to the two actors chemistry. The acting was so good considering it's a hallmark movie the ending was a bit cheesy but still enjoyed it.
