Fixing Pete

This was barely ok. It just wasn't interesting or in depth at all. Everything was predictable (though improbable). The writers really need to work on their scripting.

Not perfect, but wonderful and feel-good. It is the kind of movie you can enjoy alone (even if you're single!) - you don't have to have a date to enjoy it. It is a good movie for a single hopeless romantic. The beginning half had some moments of incredibly brilliant scripting (I laughed or chuckled several times during the movie). The latter half took some stretching of our ability to believe and somewhat less brilliant scripting, BUT, it was always feel-good and good-natured throughout. Generally compassionate and considerate characters throughout as well. So 1.75 thumbs up from me. I was impressed with all of the actors' abilities as the movie progressed. And I am left smiling after the movie and in a good mood! So overall, it was good.

Here's to Hallmark's formula romance movies. Yes, it's typical...girl meets boy....but in this one neither can stand each other! Of course, the fairytale happy ending. I've watched this movie a few times and enjoyed it every time. If course it's not an Oscar movie. You don't watch Hallmark for that. Instead we watch to escape and enjoy the happy enings.

I recorded this and deleted it without watching because of the bad rating and reviews. It came on Hallmark Channel again and thought I give it a shot. Wow am I glad I did!

Both lead actors had great chemistry and charm and it came through on the screen. I adored the character Pete!

There were a few times I laughed out loud. Honestly, if you think you're getting an Oscar worthy movie from Hallmark, you should know better. I suspect people who gave this bad reviews are not fans of this type of movie.

Those who do enjoy Hallmark movies, I promise you that you will love Fixing Pete. Honestly, I think it was much better than the recent movies Campfire Kiss and Love at First Glance.

Give this movie a try.

Much better than the majority of similar movies. Good pacing, not a lot of irrelevant padding or unnecessary conflict, a couple of laugh-out-loud moments, good chemistry between the two leads.

A lot of these made-for-TV romantic not-quite-comedies-because-they're-not-very-funny have the same build-up. The familiar formula is here but the build-up is a little different, it's got a slower burn with a lot more not-realizing-they-have-feelings-for-each-other-yet, which I prefer.
