Love by Design

So nice to see this blend of Transylvanian views with NY perspectives, young Romanian actors with Jane Seymour. Great movie, even comparing to a Hallmark production, would have loved if they spoke more Romanian, especially in the family and with the locals. Hoping for a next one, filmed in this beautiful land, with less stereotypes or going for the extremes. A great film debut for Giulia, Toto; good acting from Manuela, Ela;

Yes, I am from Romania, and I expected much less authenticity. I was quite impressed. This is the Romanian village, this is the way families are in Romania, this is the beauty and originality of traditional Romanian clothes. Anyone that says it's bad acting doesn't know anything about how Romanians are. I loved it!

I loved the way they integrated the Romanian language in the movie. Of course, most villagers in Saschiz, where this was filmed, don't speak' English, so it was nice to see that their parts were played by Romanians, not some native English speakers who would have had English accents, and who wouldn't have been able to create the authentic atmosphere.

Yes, it's a romantic comedy, but it's so touching and simple, you simply have to enjoy it.

If you expect Oscar winning movies, look elsewhere If you want to see something that makes you feel good and takes you away from your worries, this is it!

This is a really enjoyable movie, along the lines of a Hallmark type movie. There was some cheesy parts, but good acting and a nice ending!

This is a very good movie - it contains romance, humor, glimpses into the fashion world and beautiful views of Romania. The lead actress was wonderful - and the supporting cast did a great job as well. My husband and I watched this movie with my elderly parents - so nice to not worry about hearing bad language or seeing explicit sexual situations. I highly recommend this movie ! Oh, and I even heard my husband laugh a time or two while watching :)

The contrast between the cosmopolitan stresses of New York City to the idyllic countryside of Romania was refreshing. Someone referred to Jane Seymore as a dried up old prune that brought nothing, her character was bitter & twisted, I've always enjoyed her roles. Good to see do something out of usual type casts roles. Enjoyable to watch with nothing negative to say.
