Fiamme d'amore

Sure, maybe this has the familiar trope of famous celebrity girl meets a normal guy and sparks fly. But romance movies are more about the characters and the chemistry, and Alona and Ethan Peck have it. Alona just lights up the screen with her smile. Her portrayal of the pop star seems effortless. Madison's manager is a little one dimensional (nothing much to like a about this guy), but he's not the focus of the story. I do agree with another reviewer who suggested that the movie could have been a bit longer to provide a little more character development - we learn a little about her fears about him, but it would be interesting to have our firefighter John get into some concerns he might have about a serious relationship with a famous singer who is about to embark on a comeback tour. But all in all, this is a very satisfying romance movie, void of some of the goofy, gooey stuff that seems to be, dare I say, the hallmark of a lot of current romance movies.

The movie deserves a solid 6, but I would have rated it higher with a different male lead. He is way to passive / boring compared to female lead. Besides this, the plot is very good!

From the Hallmark look-alike studio called PixL which you probably didn't know about because they never release a trailer on YouTube, comes a surprisingly good movie about a fireman and the singer he saves from a burning building. If that sounds too trite, it's not. Really. Alona Tal's professional singing and Ethan Peck's deep listening gazes invites us on a love-struck journey of two very different people who share very much the same likable attitudes. Love story? Heck yeah! But what's not to love? Seriously, I know it's like from the same studio and all, but this was way better writing than most of the stuff Hallmark puts out...

I liked the story - while predictable it was still good and just different enough from the rest of the hallmark movies. ethan peck did a good job but I was disappointed by alona tal. I've seen her and enjoyed her in other things but felt she didn't really connect with this character. and we were disappointed because the version we saw did not show her singing.

Whilst watching it seems just like Britney spears story. Mum pushy stage mom, her life and what it's like. Throw a Justin in there. Read Britney life then watch.
