Entre le cœur et la raison

Cinderella, the Prince Charming, the Witch ( bad- good). And a fake fairy tale , in the frame of editor work and generousity - anonymous - of a young philantropist. The film is saved by Morgan Fairchild , reminding more a character of Beverly novels than a writer of them. Lindsay Hartley is the worst option for the role of Natalie.

These characters are not likable, they're problems are drivel, and could easily be overcome by finishing a conversation instead of becoming offended before the sentence is even finished, and walking away. The writing is stilted and boring. Someone needs to smack the interferring best friend/boss, but maybe that's what happens when you have 20-somethings running a publishing house...

We watch a lot of Hallmark movies and we enjoy them. The lowest I've ever rated a Hallmark movie is a 6. This one, in my book, gets a "1". It is bad. No other Hallmark movie comes close to this one...I recommend you skip it!

This lovely movie has more plots than most of the genre because the characters have good age spread, range of ethnicities, personal lives and employment and home situations. Most viewers would find something to connect with.

Perfect On Paper is your typical TV movie. Natalie played by Lindsay Hartley is a rookie book editor who is given the opportunity for her dream job at her friend's company. It turns out that the client/author she is assigned to is an absolute tyrant who nobody else is willing to touch.

Why somebody would hire her friend and toss her under the bus putting her own company at risk, is never really explained.

Hartley is okay in he lead role but it is author Beverly Wilcox who steals the show. She is suitably 'Lost In Showbiz' and pitches her character absolutely perfectly (excuse the pun) for the role and style of movie.

The two potential love interests were a little similar for my eyes both in appearance and behaviour, I would have liked more of a contrast.

The other support actors were likeable and slightly over the top in a good kind of way.

This is very light viewing but ticks a few boxes and sits neatly in Hallmark's winning tV movie formula.
