Coup de foudre pour la bachelorette

The leads in this are experienced Hallmark veterans with a history of good performances so I expected more. In fairness it wasn't the actors except maybe the one playing Oliver.

The premise is a bit unusual. The script did not really follow the typical format for the type of reality show it was supposed to be copying and so that contributed to the awkwardness that resulted. The story uses a couple of overused minor tropes like a formula and that only makes it worse. And much of the climax is predictable despite some clumsy red herrings.

The mystery date is just one more stupidity which I can't explain without giving away too much.

"You might just have to do it scared."

Stephanie, played by Pascale Hutton, gets roped into participating as a contestant on a reality show called The One, where they hope individuals find their "one". For this season, they have paired Stephanie with a fellow LA city slicker named Oliver for two weeks at a Wyoming ranch called Aurora Ranch.

Unfortunately, while Oliver is nice and he and Stephanie get along well...she seems to have more chemistry with the Aurora rancher Alex. When they meet, assumptions are made involving some catchy slogan and a hashtag. When it came down to it they actually have a lot in common.

I loved Pascale's wardrobe and the ranch setting was lovely. It was fun to see them work in a reality show into a hallmark romance.

Sweet and easy going, I think romantics will love this sunny offering.

I love Hallmark movies, but I'll admit that some of them can be a little too "cheesy" or "sappy". I didn't feel that way about this one. Pascale is one of my favorite Hallmark actresses, and she really outdid herself on this one! I thought that she and the main guy had great chemistry, the storyline was a lot of fun and held my interest, the setting was GORGEOUS, and the ending was very satisfying. All in all a 10 out of 10 for me!

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! Loved every minute of this movie and the Air Balloon scene was perfection! 😍

A really feelgood movie with a beautiful story and characters.
