Avis à la une
Absolutely the worst Hallmark film watched in years of being a fan. The main character has no redeeming qualities through to the end. Simply terrible.
All the funny parts were in the ads and weren't all that funny in the context. the lead is a marriage counselor who plays games with her husband. apparently aaron joins justin in leaving his wife but we don't know that until he goes back so why he left is never explained. mom is poison to the relationship until she does an about 180, again for no explanation. not to mention the totally fake backdrop/green screen when justin's supposed to be in europe; there are plenty of places in america or canada that would've doubled easily. the only competent counselor in the whole thing is the dog trainer. basically, the story is flat with no development, stilted dialogue, and the only chemistry is between nicole and aaron. not even the cute puppy can save this tragedy.
I love Hallmark movies. I've been called a Hallmarkaphile. This movie is AWFUL. Gonzalo's character is TERRIBLE! I couldn't stand her. Ranks as one of the WORST Hallmark movies EVER!
Karla Mosely, the black actress who plays the friend, Nicole, was great. She has real star quality and can act.
HOWEVER, this movie was really bad, even graded on a Hallmark curve. Watching it was one long cringe. The lead character is very unlikeable - a clueless version of Cruella DeVille. She is bad with dogs, bad with her husband, bad with her clients and a whiny clueless friend.
Nothing in this movie is remotely plausible. The big stuff, the small stuff -its all wrong. The script is terrible. Dog classes last one minute, marriage counseling sessions last two minutes, a lawyer offers a character a job while sitting at a table in the park, hubby goes to Europe by himself after scheduling a Paris vacation as a surprise. On and on.
This film lacked wit, charm, characters you care about, plausibility and chemistry between its leads. Plot, sets, music, dialog were amateurish. The moment it ended , my wife asked me to erase it from the DVR. I wish I could erase it from my memory.

Full disclosure: I work on films...so my opinion is pretty biased.
For starters, I take no pleasure in trashing a film...this one is just unavoidable.
TL;DR = A marriage counselor tries to come up with an idea for a new book (deadlines!!!), while also trying to fix her own marriage...oh and there's a puppy. Bad cinematography, bad editing, bad acting, bad writing...just bad.
Now, for the main part:...I gave up an hour into this film. This movie makes Hallmark films look like gold. The cinematography was just plain amateur. Deep focus throughout, bad framing, completely blown out highlights...like, for real, there's a thing called "ND filters"...use them. They make them in gels too, toss 'em up on all those dang windows.
Production design was awful. White walls throughout, hardly any glasses in the cupboards, scant decorations...it looked like they rented an apartment for shooting and just used what was there. Very little color, which translates to very little life on screen. The moire was pretty atrocious, (which, if it were relegated to a couple of scenes, I'd look past it as being the screen...but there were a bunch of them...). Oh, and there's a part where a male dog does a very female dog thing...you'll see what I mean if you make it that far. Obviously, they had to fake it, and did a poor job.
The acting was awkward...very awkward. Think college class short film awkward. Which leads me to the writing and directing, which I'm sure was half the problem here: the writing is probably the worst part of this movie. So Much Exposition!!! This isn't theatre...I don't want the character to tell me what they're feeling, I want them to SHOW ME!!! Show Dont Tell!!! Ugh! That's my biggest pet peeve of all time. Adding to the dumpster fire, is the dialogue. Did they not do any table reads? Literally NONE of the dialogue sounded natural. It all sounded rehearsed...and exposition-ridden.
The characters were flat as all get-out. I couldn't care less what happened to them...not that anything ever really did. If it happened after the first hour...too late, you've already lost everyone's attention.
Editing wasn't terrible...but it wasn't great either...just kinda meh. There were a few very awkward cuts that should've had a redo.
There's probably a dozen other things I picked out that bothered me, but you get my point. Avoid, don't waste an evening like I did.
