Ritorno a Romance

This movie is watchable, much better than so many "romance" or "Christmas" TV-movies. I don't understand such harsh reviews.

Morgan Kohan is sweet, doesn't annoy me like most of the actresses in such movies do. Her business partner Nick (Carey Feehan) is great!

Apart from them, it's worth watching just for Lochlyn Munro, I love him ever since "A night at the Roxbury". One reviewer wrote "he is not old enough to have a 30 something" but the age difference is 24 years, how much more do you need?!

I agree with one of the reviewers that the blond girl played very realistic. He and Drew Nelson have shown small-town people are in a very realistic manner (whether you like it or not).

Not a masterpiece, but it's recommended, if you are into such genre (family movie).

Most of this movie is about Zoe's business and her efforts to expand. There is absolutely no connection between Morgan Kohan and Drew Nelson. The resistance against Zoe from the town is possible but seems extreme. Norman begins to sound mentally unstable in his paranoia. The tone of the movie is more about battle than romance.

Finally, at the 2/3rds point of the movie Will becomes cooperative, but there is still no romantic connection. Will makes a clumsy overture which is anything but romantic. Even the Grand Gesture is business.

The Nick and Amanda story has potential but only a small part of the movie.

Acting is fair. Dialogue is flat with little humor.

I'm a huge fan of Morgan Kohan. I try to watch anything I can find with her in it. Her charm comes through at times, but it's overwhelmed by business through almost all of the movie. If you want a rom/com, this is a terrible movie.

Will is an unlikeable jackass who doesn't deserve Zoe - better with the bakery floozy - they deserve each other. I found this movie really distasteful.
