La lingua dell'amore

I was hoping this movie would get better. It started out odd; not sure if it was the script or the acting, I think both. Corey has been good in several Hallmark movies: Mr. Write, The Art of Us, Grounded for Christmas. So it's not him. His hair was horrible, though. Intentionally looking like a nerdy professor. The other 2 leads have decent filmography. It must be the script and directing. Overacting taken to a new level, ridiculous characters and scenes. Just plain awful. A couple of funny lines, but no flow to the whole movie. Cringeworthy. A 5 was the best I could give it.

I've seen a lot of cheesy romantic movies and this one is bottom of the barrel. The ludicrous overacting by the female lead is distracting. I would have guessed she jumped straight from her high school stage onto this movie set, except that I've seen high schoolers who can act massively better than her. Add in cheap costumes and sets and you get an altogether worthless movie.

The lack of chemistry between Michelle Argyris and Corey Sevier was distracting. It didn't help that Dan was being a jerk through at least 40 minutes (commercial run time) of the movie but once that passed, that was no longer the issue as far as chemistry. From then on I was amazed at the lack of emotional connection between the two. I never did like Dan.

The story wasn't completely derivative, but it wasn't that great either. There were no great highs or lows or surprises and there was barely any moment of conflict.

There is one pivotal event late in the move which was pretty stupid and yet from that point on it received constant attention. The more attention it received, the more ridiculous was it's believability, but then anyone who watches many of these movies knows that reality is often abandoned.

Cosette, the girl actually from France, had a fake sounding accent, but to my ear, when Julie spoke in French her accent was very good. Argyris sounded exactly as Julie was meant to be - an American with excellent training in languages.

If you have watched Emily In Paris, you wouldn't like to watch a really bad copying of it... Some scenes, the Music, the first actress, they are all trying to be like Emily In Paris! Anyway, i didn't like the movie at all, but it's ok to watch it if there is no new movie to watch...

About many Hallmark films I say nice. As a fair compromise about a genre not brilliant but comfortable . In this case, silly sounds more than reasonable. Not for film itself but for many scenes. The dialogue is the best example. So, a film with Corey Sevier, saved by French language, unrealistic at whole but acceptable. So, silly puzzle, not so bad use of classic recipe - the parents of Daniel are the basic explanation.
