Her Pen Pal

The plot had some "Huh?" moments, but it was noticeably better than most plots in this genre. I really appreciated that there were some genuine obstacles and hard feelings rather than the usual silly misunderstandings. I also appreciated that they invested some money and care into the settings rather than scraping the bottom of the barrel with their budget.

All in all, worth watching.

I love these destination hallmark movies! I did Google where this was filmed as some scenes looked like a green screen backdrop but it says it was mostly filmed in Paris! Like Jacque says in the movie, the movie feels like you are wandering through Paris at a relaxing pace. I enjoyed the music, lots of food, and beautiful scenery. I wasn't sure what Jacques' job was as it seems he just has a bunch of money and all the time in the world to be wandering around with the LA lifestyle paced Victoria. I like that Victoria acted like a professional adult and not one of those ridiculous big bright eyed characters we often see in hallmark movies with no substance. All the characters had moments where they were falling apart but resolved their issues as grown ups. It's a lovely weekend afternoon movie to take your mind off of your daily life and transport you to beautiful Paris!

It follows the Hallmark movie format to the tee. So why give it an 8? Paris, France and the leads are good.

I do have one gripe and that is the movie set up Victoria's backstory beautifully but failed miserably with the male lead. I mean come on, the dude is a square jawed handsome wealthy dude with perfect manners - Hallmark gave us...well he was traveling so he put off relationships for 15 years. I don't think so - come on writers give us something even 1% believable and we are good to go.

Love the chemistry between the two leads (Joshua Sasse and Mallory Jensen). They are so natural and it helps that they worked together for two seasons on Galavant and of course they're accomplished actors in their own right. Between the great food and location posted on social media, it was a memorable and fun reunion for these two and Galavant fans shared the news with others. Hallmark should take a note in pairing up other couples from cancelled shows to star in future productions. If the cancelled shows were popular and the actors have chemistry, they will bring their following to Hallmark--a Win-Win for all!

Tres bien! Paris is beautiful and the plot was a nice change of pace. Hallmark is letting their scripts include more comedy and I for one really appreciate it. Let's do a sequel!
