L'Aventure à deux

I love Lacey Chabert, so if I'm putting down a Hallmark movie with her in it, then it must be bad. This probably didn't deserve the stars I gave it.

There is nothing new in this movie. It is practically the same old stuff as the first one, and much less well done. Scenes with Lacey and Brennen seemed rushed. No chemistry this time. Lara Gilchrist was either doe-eyed or tough witch. Vincent Gale was cliché. Other supporting actors tried.

As far as story, at least they got Jenny's side business out of that tiny B&B kitchen into something a little more commercial. On the only plus side I can think of, several little side romances sprung up.

Like my summary says: If you are going to do a sequel of a much loved movie, don't just do a rehash but give it a life of it's own.

I liked this movie a lot, especially the plot. It was different from the previous one because there was less comedy for one thing but there was a bit of character development. It is easy to fall in love but it is challenging to nurture a relationship when there are conflicting interests. Honesty and communication are keys to a healthy relationship. This movie portrays exactly that.

If you're going to make a trilogy you should make sure that there is continuity. The first movie was charming and I was looking forward to the next in the series. I just had trouble getting past the house and the goats! The first house was very pretty and they painted it green. It looked like a perfect B & B. The one in the second movie is an ordinary house and it's white and blue. Enter the goats. They're a significant part of the story and they look completely different from the ones in the first movie and yet they're supposed to be the same goats. The mama goat was white and cream and the kids were pure white. In the second they're all black and white. It's very annoying. The kitchen that they worked on so much in the first one is totally different. If they couldn't get the same place they should've at least tried to make it look the same. I wonder what we will get in the third movie. I'll find out today because I still love the stories and cast, just wish they'd pay more attention to the details.

I liked the first one in the series, it was better than most with an interesting storyline and not the usual sappiness. This one not as much mostly because I did get very tired of Jenny being overly needy in her relationship with Brian, and not being very understanding of Brian trying to keep a roof over their heads. Other than that it was fairly good.

I LOVE the first movie, "All of my Heart". It is excellent. And as actors, I LOVE both leads. Imagine my dismay when KEY aspects of the first movie are altered for "...Inn Love". No offense to Terry Ingram, idk you; but you blew it! You had the same writer, cast and a built-in audience! I'm shocked that there is a third movie frankly because the second one was so flat. And, for #3 I'm just learning, they lose the house??!? Then what the heck is the point?!?!! Whose brilliant idea was that?!?! I hope not KB.

I have again been reminded of the importance of good Direction. And hello? Continuity??!?!!! I am rewatching #1 AGAIN because it's SO good. I erased #2. Not worth seeing again. The loss of continuity is TOO distracting. And VERY irritating!!! And I WILL NOT even bother with #3. Why bother? It's Terry Ingram again, so I imagine I would be PAINFULLY disappointed. Great way to ruin a great thing fella! 😫😤 Lacey and Brennan, I really enjoy you both. Your work Individually and together. Best wishes to you both. And thank you Karen Berger for creating the characters and original story. Sincerely, Trish Norman
