Maman 2.0

The title is deceptive. This is not so much a love story as it is about a smart woman who is attempting to improve her life after the loss of her husband by working as an unpaid intern for a startup and her interactions much younger people. It's great to see Rachael Leigh Cook again and good to know that she is going do another HallmarK movie. If it is the quality of this one I'll really be looking forward to it. It seems as if the Network is putting out higher quality productions now that the major networks no longer have this kind of picture. They are doing stories for every season and not just romance movies. The mysteries are also well done and a lot of fun.

Rachel Leigh Cook is cute here as an older back to school mom doing an internship at a hip company. The CEO takes to her. It's a refreshing change from the usual Hallmark movie.

I liked this one from Hallmark because even though there was a slight predictability factor, it kept you guessing on who she would end up with. This one surprised me a bit! I like it when it gets a bit unpredictable and puts some guess work into the equation. We kept discussing the better match for her when me and my family were watching it. It was really good! I would watch it again!

Ok I would watch almost anything she did (although that Christmas travel movie in 2021 broke that rule). This actually has a fairly unique story line which is unusual for these Hallmarkish movies. It was even kinda realistic speaking as a HT person. The acting and direction were not bad; nothing special. Weak chemistry in the romance department. The ensemble seemed to get along which worked well for the feeling of a team spirit.

Watchable, but for me that is mostly because of Ms. Cook--she's all that (sorry I couldn't stop myself).

I really enjoyed this film as it was a nice feel good summer film and I like Maya's character, but I feel really bad for her since she has a lot of drama going in her life throughout the film. She feels out of place with all the younger people at her internship, she quickly becomes the involved in a love triangle with both the CFO and the CEO, causing all the other interns to become jealous of her. Maya is such a nice and sweet character and she doesn't deserve to be treated badly as all she wants is to gets through the internship without trouble. I thought a lot of the characters were unfairly rude to her, but at least she has the support of her best friend, her daughter and her true love interest. I'm just glad she managed to prove herself to everyone in the end.
