Looking for Mr. Right

Hallmark Channel's Looking For Mr. Right was not one of their better movies. The plot was OK, but the production was not what I expected for a typical Hallmark movie. It was not the quality that one comes to expect from the Hallmark Channel. Their was little excitement in the movie. Scene settings seem below Hallmark Channel standards. The costumes seemed used in style and appearance. Not this one. Once was a enough. For me, mark this one in the no column. Normally, I would watch their movers over and over again. I found my self channel surfing during this movie wondering when it was going to be over. On a hole, the best part of this presentation were the commercials.

Passed a chilly afternoon, but not one I'd rewatch. There's so much crammed in that we don't get to see much of Mr Right. In a way, that makes it different from other movies, but it also reduces the emotional depth.

The female lead is suppposed to be a successful writer who acts as if she is 16. Cannot make a decision, heat up food. Grow a backbone. I was pretty much disgusted after the first 20 mins, but finished this train wreck and cannot get that time back.

I watch pretty much all Hallmark Channel romances. I'm a sucker for a happy ending. This one was far more tedious than most. There was very little romance to it. The hero was on screen a very low percentage of the time. I actually liked him, but never really got much of a chance to get to know him or root for him.

The heroine was not a great person - naive in a bad way (only to further plot points) and thoughtless. I think the fault lay mostly with the screenplay. I didn't mind the general directing and the actors actually seemed pretty good. They just didn't have much to work with but a formulaic script. Came here to rate it primarily to remind myself not to watch it again.

Ok yeah, rom com, but the story line, character personality, and over all, PRODUCTION AND DIRECTING in this movie had me amazed. Can't believe I never heard of it until scrolling through HBO one bored night.
