Tendance romance

What is with the narrative explaining everything that is happening? Did you think as an audience we aren't smart enough to follow the story. Very annoying and so not necessary.

Love on Trend 2021 - Nicholas Humphries.

Youthful, aspiring fashion designer Allie (Jocelyn Panton) meetcutes dashing tech guy Colin (Giles Panton) and tumultuously, her lofty career aspirations, and love palpitations coloufully intertwine as they discover they are tailor made for one other! Sadly, my terminal lack of interest in fashion remains wholly unmoved by Love on Trend, but Allie's amiable boss/chum Kendra (Amanda Wong)is a propah sweetie, and, unlike cold reality, in fuzzy Hallmarkland all of life's travails are amicably resolved in a suitably cutsey fashion. Real life married couple have a likeable screen chemistry, and their fictitious personas exude a palpable warmth.

Lighting is not balanced throughout the film. Almost every scene renders some cast members into practically different people, especially Allie and Marie. Often I could not tell if I were looking at the same people. Some cast even seemed to gain and lose substantial amounts of weight from one scene to another, while beauty varied from common to exquisite.

Too bad: because despite starting with a near-impossible plot catalyst, the script and acting are actually quite good, the characters are interesting, and the action flow holds the attention.

The lighting quality did improve as the film progressed. I would watch it again.

This movie felt like an amateur production from the beginning. Jocelyn Panton lacked polish. Some of the acting and much of the dialogue was just off.

Giles Panton was OK. I'm surprised that this real life married couple didn't come off better.

The premise is a slight twist on impersonating the successful or famous boss. In this case, who in the world thought this would end well?

I thought Colin was a little too emphatic about saving jobs in Cassidy's company.

There's a secondary romance with Kendra and Arturo.

The conflict caught me by surprise. It's almost worth sticking with it that long. It gets a bit complicated.

This movie is quite original, but some cast members' lines became too quiet / unclear at times, so I tuned out on multiple scenes. I wish Reel One Entertainment and others would make more movies about over 40s as it would allow for a wider range of storylines, and viewers will grow out of these early career settings too quickly - I'm not gonna buy them because they don't have much rewatchability / longevity. The characters in this movie aren't particularly inspiring - but I do empathise a bit as they're just trying to make the best of a chaotic world like many of us. Not the best, but not the worst of the genre.
