Amore tra le vigne

Almost gave up on yet another 'must find love by mid-30s' movie, but aside from all the trendy social media stuff, there are some really cross-generational situations that can profoundly affect all of us. With so much packed in, whatever you're going through, there's likely to be something in this to help you. Whilst in lots of ways this movie could quickly feel dated, these classic scenarios make it re-watchable, because even though we've seen it all before, we experience them at different points in our own lives. This rom-not-so-much-com shows there is life after setback and loss, so give it a shot.

The premise doesn't exactly fit the common writer-goes-home premises, but it's close and there are many of the other usual tropes as well. There is some educational stuff about wine which also has been done. There are no great highs or lows or surprises. The conflict has been there from the start and the resolution is rather mundane.

In the beginning, there is a secret that everyone knows except Sam. The viewer probably knows too, especially if you've seen previews. Still it's nicely done.

The heart of the movie is Marcus Rosner and Rebecca Olson and they have chemistry. Sam and Liam were supposed to be together and their dreams separated them. It's nice to watch them reconnecting.

Leanne Lapp place the narcissistic influencer pretty well. Actually, she's kind of fun and almost likeable.

Great clean wholesome movie; however, I won't watch it again because I felt uncomfortable the whole time due to immodest clothing choices.

Fun storyline.

Wine drinking, does take place in vineyard.

I wish they did better with clothing choices. I felt uncomfortable watching the women wearing low cut, short midi dresses, a few dresses are see through when the light hits. I don't want to be uncomfortable watching a movie fearing I will see more skin than I want to. Shirts that are too short we see skin, too low cut we see cleavage, and are too revealing we see bra straps. One male characters pants at one point are so baggy, I was focused on trying to figure out why.

Now if they can focus on better outfits, I would definitely give this a 10, but for me it is a 7 and I'm wondering if that was too good for how uncomfortable I felt!
