His & Hers

Lawyers Mark (Brennan Elliott) and Dana (Lacey Chabert) are the perfect married couple until they find themselves on opposite sides of a highly public divorce case involving a warring reality show couple. The couple's clients, are combative, materialistic egomaniacs who make unreasonable demands on their lawyers. The stress impacts the happily married lawyer couple, and to help keep the viewer awake from all the boring dialogue, another element is added, Mark starts pressuring Dana that it's time to have a baby. All the tension impacts the couples happy marriage. Instead of an intriguing fun movie in the vein of ADAM'S RIB, the viewer is just plain BORED as the movie DRAGS on and on as the viewer anxiously waits for this movie to JUST COME TO AN EXPECTED END!

Pairing Lacey Chabert - the undisputed and reigning Queen of Hallmark - with Brennan Elliott has generally been akin to hitting the mother lode for Hallmark (think the "All of My Heart" trilogy, "A Christmas Melody" and a handful of "Crossword Mystery" movies as well) and I had high hopes that "His & Hers" would continue the success that this duo has when starring opposite one another. Alas, the story of a husband and wife lawyers on either side of the divorce of a high profile reality TV couple fell flat for me. As noted, Chabert and Elliott play a married couple...but their interactions seem almost more businesslike than anything else. Would it have killed them to show some real passion? I didn't see any chemistry there, which isn't something I often say about films starring that duo.

Ultimately, one you can put down in the "Missed Opportunity" file for Hallmark.

It's not the best movie that Lacey has ever done, but I wouldn't watch it again. It was very boring at times and predictable. Halfway through it was just something on in the background while I was on my phone. I hope the next few fall movies are better.

The chemistry just wasn't there this time between Lacey and Brennan. They were great in the All of my Heart movies. I'd watch those again over this. It's almost like this movie wasn't taking itself seriously. I think being married and also lawyers wasn't the best idea. I could see one of them being a lawyer and the other one supporting them. But, yeah, not for me.

I love Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott. I particularly like them together as they have wonderful chemistry and seem to play off one another well.

The story follows two married lawyers, Dana and Mark, who are simultaneously assigned high profile clients while celebrating their own seven year anniversary. Normally, Mark handles domestic disputes and Dana handles corporate mergers, but they both end up on opposite sides of a reality tv couple's divorce (Tabby and Brett). Dana is doing a favor for her uncle Paul and initially thinks everything will be smooth sailing until it's clear neither Tabby nor Brett are going to give an inch...they also unwisely do not listen to their respective council. On the home front, not only are Dana and Mark celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary, but they are discussing the possibility of starting a family.

It was nice to see a healthy and supportive relationship as the one exhibited between Dana and Mark. They knew each other well and they treated each other with love and respect. Most importantly, they listened to one another. There was humor and love...and a fun wardrobe. I think romantics will love this Hallmark offering and I recommend it. There is some great dialogue and funny humor.

Sort of a knock off of Adam's Rib but alas not as good. Husband and wife lawyers represent dueling sides in a highly publicized divorce case. I am in the minority of Hallmark Movie fans in that I do not love Lacey Chalbert and have no investment in the perpetual coupling with Brennan Elliott. The dialogue is sappy (who would say "sustained" when toasting their anniversary? Or refer to anything in their personal life as "on the docket"?). The plot runs the predictable course - workaholic couple rediscovers their true love through trials and tribulation. It made me long for the snappy dialogue and quality acting of Adam's Rib. Is it watcheable? Yes. It is good. No.
