Blind Date Book Club

Meg and Graham have a great chemistry.

Very interesting concept a " blind date, book club."

Purchase a book without knowing what the book is, and then show up in person at a later date to discuss your perceptions of the book.

In addition, participate in some theme of the book. For instance, a book concerning wine tasting would include wine tasting during the discussion, or a book concerning Flower arranging, would include Flower arranging during the discussion of the book.

The owner of the bookstore, the aunt of the main character, needs to liquidate her ownership of the bookstore. This puts the leading character in a quandary. Does she purchase her aunts bookstore, or does she go back to selling real estate?

The parallel plot is the male lead who has successfully written seven young adult books, and must produce an eighth on a specific timeline, but wants to write in a different genre. His new product is under a pseudonym, and is not being well accepted.

Very cute dialogue great acting good directing great writing..

Meg is a bookshop owner that hosts the "Blind date with a book club", which has become popular enough to be featured on the radio. One listener, Graham, travels to Nantucket to convince Meg to put his book on the list for said club.

Big shot writer from big town travels to a small town in pursue of a bookshop and has a meet cute with the owner. Who doesn't love a cliche?

Hallmark knew what they were going when they put these two together. Erin is definitely a fan favorite who manages to have chemistry with every single one of her co-stars. Put Robert in the mix who is so very charming and you have a hit.

I really liked the movie. There were a few silly things that had me rolling my eyes, like they didn't think anyone would see his picture in the back of the book? But hey, this is still Hallmark and we like it for it.

It's true it was kind of slow at times and definitely something we have seen before but it's definitely worth the watch alone for our two leads.

It's refreshing to see Erin Krakow in a Hallmark movie that isn't a period piece. She and Robert Buckley (of "One Tree Hill" and "Chesapeake Shores" fame) are both big Hallmark guns, and are both well cast in an original and well-written story (no tired tropes or cliches to be seen here!) set on Nantucket, but filmed - like most Hallmark movies - in British Columbia.

The chemistry between Krakow's Meg, a book store owner, and Buckley's Graham, a writer suffering from that terrible affliction of writer's block, is on point from their very first scene together. It's this chemistry that makes the movie so good.

I enjoyed this one. Hope we see more movies with Krakow and Buckley starring together.

I was really wanting to like this movie, but I just couldn't concentrate. Erin Krakow is such a pretty girl, but her hair was just so disruptive. The short hair just doesn't work. I know nothing about women's hair, but her hair in this movie just bothered me through the entire movie. It just needed to be longer - even if just to the shoulders. Things were just out of balance. The fact that I was thinking about it through the entire movie tells me it was wrong. I just had to mention it because I hope this will be a consideration in future movies. This is just one guys opinion.

I think I am going to have to watch the movie again to try to focus on the actual story.

Very rare I write , about a Hallmark film, Ilike it. But in this case , this confession just well works. Sure, difficult to be different reaction about a film with books, Erin Krakow and Robert Buckley, not ignoring Glanys Davies and Faith Wright.

But the reactions - debates in book club are the basic good point of film. Sure, not exactly surprises or revelations but for a tsundoku like me, few significant beautiful moments. And the art of Robert Buckley to offer coherence of his version of a kind of Clark Kent.

In short, for not be too enthusiastic, I consider it pretty nice Hallmark . Off course, the blind book package has its contribution to this.
