The More Love Grows

This is not a bad movie, and it's different in a way because it shows separation and divorce. I've never seen this area of life explored in a hallmark movie before.

If you like dogs, it's a good picture for you. Lead actress does a good job, as she normally does in one of her movies. A little dog also does a great job, he is very believable.

It moves along, rather slowly, as most Hallmark movies do. Wife is totally surprised by husband's request for separation and divorce.

Husband does not appear to be a jerk, however, everything he's doing shows he is is a Butthead. But that's a part of the plot.

Of course, she meets a handsome veterinarian, who is in the middle of his second career. She's not in the profession she wants to be, but it's what was easy and convenient to raise a child at home.

The subplot is her daughter going way to college, and winding up with a roommate that wants to do nothing but party. All she wants to do is study.

Very strong message of motherly love.

Elmer, the dog, hates conflict, and when there is conflict, he runs away.

This is not a movie about fixing a marriage, it's about doing what makes you feel good.

Outside of the dog in this movie there really isn't much to like about it. The main story lines for the human characters are just too depressing that they really don't capture the viewer's attention or interests. So much so that you find yourself wondering if they would have just made this totally about the dog in a sort of Benji way - would that have made the movie more interesting for the viewer? Given the actor an actress in this movie and knowing their ability based on past performances I just couldn't get into this one at all and I wanted to. Should have been happy for the final outcome for the dog but the rest was hard to watch.

The dog got me to watch, lol. I really enjoy the smooth simplicity of both Rachel Boston and Warren Christie. A believable pair. The story is engaging but the plot is not superbly well written at all. There are just Too many odd characters that contribute no context (like her mean girl (not believable) besties... the three don't have any chemistry as a friend group!) The relationship conflict is realistic -- making it interesting. The rest of the acting was awkward to watch for the most part. And too rote. But it's a solid Hallmark flick for the acting. And lighthearted in the end and that's it's charm.

The More Love Grows is a Hallmark-style romance movie that follows the story of a recently divorced woman who finds love with a new man. The movie is full of clichés, from the meet-cute to the happy ending. The acting from the main actresses is also quite bad, with them delivering wooden performances.

The story itself is nothing new. We've seen it all before in countless other movies.

Overall, The More Love Grows is a disappointing movie. It's a clichéd romance with bad acting. Watch it only if you are a fan of Hallmark movies, then you might be able to find something to enjoy in The More Love Grows. But if you're looking for a movie with good acting and a fresh story, I would recommend skipping this one.

I wanted to like this movie because the dog is so cute. Unfortunately the main character Helen is so annoying that I wanted something really bad to happen so she would stop being so bloody perky and show some authentic emotions. She giggles in almost every scene! Even after hearing that the dog's owner had been found. She doesn't seem to have any emotional intelligence..she is surprised by her husband leaving, that the new boyfriend had 'feelings' for her, that her daughter might have been over mothered!

The characters also seem to be thrown in and stereotypical rather than developed. The mother is intrusive , the new friend a bit 'out there', and the new boyfriend terribly supportive.

And speaking of dogs, they are not 'pack' animals...the training advice was so 1990s. They really could have used the opportunity to promote force free training techniques and best practices like microchipping.
