Love at the Shore

I was agreeably surprised watching this lovely movie! The acting was far above the usual in this Hallmark production. This movie cinematography made me want to visit this shore and reminded me of my favourite holiday town by the sea when I was growing up. Couldn't change the channel, even during the commercials, which for me is way outside my normal. The chemistry between the leads was crackling. A thouroughly enjoyable movie experience on all points.

I started this movie without reading the plot or anything, I just knew it was Peter Porte (Baby Daddy) and summer.

I'm gonna be honest: the movie it's nothing out of the ordinary, typical Hallmark. But if you enjoy these type of movies, you'll definitely like this. What I liked the most was the summer vibe (it's winter where I live and I miss it) and let's say i'm a sucker for romance. I found myself grinning more than once.

The movie as a whole was good, a few details here and there that we can let go. The chemistry was good. The children were adorable. I personally believe that Lucas was very charming and Jenna wasn't that uptight, that's what moms should be like.

This is the perfect movie to watch in the evening or at night with a big glass of soda or ice cream under the fan, with the whole family.

I think that her acting is much worse than his, but these two have the chemisty of two stiff robots--so okay, not the feeling robots with emotions--trying to connect. This is one of the worst Hallmark movies.

It was pathetic really, and that's the crux of my view. Why say more.

I've read some of the earlier reviews and they're right about some of the film's inherent flaws - ie a writer going to a busy Summer Camp to get quiet to finish her novel; letting a total stranger be alone with her kids; an uptight Mum ; a single bachelor is just going to want to take on a woman and 2 kids without even kissing her, and believing people on holiday in public places will keep the noise down ??!! However, I loved the 2 leads in Amanda Righetti and Peter Porte who elevated the film beyond kitsch. Amanda has such a beautiful smile that would melt even the stoniest hearts and their scenes together were cute. The kids too gave very mature natural performances and the scenery at Tybee Island was incredible - I just want to go there !

Jenna (Amanda Righetti) is a divorced mother of eleven year old twins. She is just beginning a new career as a teen book novelist, having had one successful book. But, alas, she has been experiencing writer's block so she takes her family to a beautiful duplex on Tybee Island. As there is a summer camp for kids, her children can go swimming and hiking while she devotes her energies to meeting her publishers deadline. But, wait, wait! Next door there is a great looking single man, Lucas (Peter Porte) who, nevertheless, proves problematic. He has a carefree attitude about noise, beach parties, and his wandering dog. This stresses Jenna in a big way and she immediately erects a larger fence so the canine can't wander over to her patio. More importantly, after initial bad impressions of this man, his winning ways and handsome smile are diverting Jenna the most! But, with his not-ready-for-marriage-kids attitude, should she let herself get to know him better? Will her son become a better competitive swimmer? WILL SHE FINISH HER BOOK ON TIME? At this point, what can a romantic comedy fan say but a thousand thanks to Hallmark for continuing to provide funny, wholesome, and very romantic films for those who love the genre best. Righetti is beautiful and assertive while Porte, a dead ringer for Jim Caviezel, is a handsome, head-turning star. All of the secondary cast, sets, costumes, script and direction combine to create a film to savor and sigh over. As its brand new, do try to catch a viewing at the earliest possible moment.
