Quello che so sull'amore

I admit the first quarter of the movie almost turned me off to it because not only did I find out it's a tubi original (all I could think of is cheesy, Hallmark things) but also they played her character like the smart but clueless type... She is that, but not the "stuck in her ways" trope, Check 1 for not being the tireless gag we always get. They learned along the way. Two: They didn't make them clash for comedic value. (The Ugly Truth) Things naturally progressed and each party recognized and didn't shy away. Three: The conflict wasn't contrived forcing both parties revert to their older traits and ideals, they recognized the misunderstanding and though tempted to not, braved the storm anyway. Hope this had no spoilers because we all know how these end but I'll say this, it was no early 20's drama piece of ego but maturing, figuring out of things we all resemble coming out of the latter. Extra point for the soundtrack.

Frankly, I have never seen any work of Camila Belle. This was my first time as her other work has been out of my movie/tv preferences. She is an outstanding actress. David Lafontaine I have seen in supporting roles so it was great to see him in a lead role! Both did an outstanding job in this cute and funny story about love and romance. I watched this on Great American Family under a different title. Outstanding choice to bring on GAFamily! So grateful for people like Bill Abbott who are supporting clean, funny and refreshing movies. The supporting cast were excellent as well so kuddos to them. Loved the sets and costumes as well. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

7.8 stars.

I have many questions about the results of this movie. First question is: why does it have such a low rating? Second question: why are there so few reviews? Third question: in spite of the apparent indifference by most viewers, why do I like it so much? I will attempt to answer my own questions, so that we can share my theories about entertainment, and what makes people tick in the movie watching business (if there is such a thing. Of course there is...ask any employee of Rotten Tomatoes). Answer to question number one: because the majority of the audience is probably female, and the lead male is not very irresistible. Answer to question number two: that's a tough one to answer. Maybe it aired at a time when something major was simultaneously on television (award ceremonies, football, DWTS, etc...). Answer to question three: it's entertaining, I really like both actors, dialogue is funny and stimulating.

Bottom line, I like this movie a lot and am glad I watched in spite of the low ratings.

Let's be honest you're not here because you're looking for a masterpiece, but perhaps, something light maybe funny and romantic. The movie is pretty straight forward but is very sweet and cute. Some of the dialogue between the main characters is honest, like: be in the moment, I think there's value the way you engage to everything; is so simple which is so underrated these days. Soundtrack is lovely too.

Didn't know any of the actors, but I was surprised at just how well they did. The story line was upbeat and entertaining. We all know where the movie is going but still sometimes we want to walk away from a movie feeling better, not dragged down. So, if you want a simple, pleasant, cute love story then this will fit the bill.
