Ritratto d'amore

8 stars for the beautiful art work. Many people are searching for the name of the artist of the original paintings. I searched as well, until I actually looked at the credits. The artist IS given credit for the original art. Her name is Lori Goldberg. Well I cannot find the painting of "The Kiss", (which I am sure is not only my favorite, but for many others, as well), many of her pieces can be found.

My dog woke me up to this movie that kept saying his name...his name is Harper. He was named after Mama's Family...and come to find out the leads last name is Higgins ( Unice Higgins) is Carol Burnette s character....I loved it and so did my dog! LoL

I'd like to know who did all the paintings for this movie. They were gorgeous! Kudos to the artist who painted them!

Taylor Cole is always an easy watch, and Steve Lund ? - I mean, who wouldn't want to date him ? A nice 'arty' film, but I'm biased towards the little dog - because I own the same make and model myself - a Border Terrier. The smartest and loveable of all little dogs. Is it any wonder he has a career in films ?

I have seen both actors before and none of their movies were THE movies. Typical Hallmark to enjoy during and hour and a half. So, I decided to give the pair a chance.

This movie was enjoyable. It's not outstanding. It is still within Hallmarks parameters but it still felt, somehow, REFRESHING. The characters were good. The chemistry was quite good - The chemistry between Steve Lund aka Tom and Vincent was even better -

(I have seen this dog in quite a few Hallmark movies by now)

Some may find it boring and I would totally understand why, apart from the scenes with dogs and maybe one with the leads there were no major scenes/moments to react to. However i'm glad how the plot turn out: they didn't throw any pre-ending drama at the leads to tear them apart, but instead they faced it together - even though it's predictable -

One aspect about the movie: What bothered me was how certain someone discovered the secret. Just because he "is" who he said he was, doesn't mean he can't have the life he has and do the things he does. He can be both. (I know it doesn't make so much sense: if reading the comment before it won't be understood, but it will after)

To sum up: it is worth the watch, specially if you enjoy these types of movies as much as I do. Giving it a 7 because apart from what I mentioned in the last paragraph, they didn't ruined it. But I wished it was funnier.
