Il romanzo di un amore

Given all the elements of this story. I thought the acting was great the story well acted.

I have never seen a more suited pair than these two. They are perfect for one another.

Amy Acker plays Sophie, an Oregon newspaper reporter who meets on a plane from New York to Portland, Liam Bradley the mysterious author of her favorite romance...only she doesn't know it. When he sees she has an advanced copy of his latest novel he solicits her honest opinion...unfortunately, it isn't good.

Hurt in the past by her celebrity ex-boyfriend in a very public way, Sophie is afraid of lies and dishonest men...Liam is afraid to tell Sophie who he really is. Will these two get together? Or will Liam's reveal drive Sophie away?

This is over the top with sweetness and these two couldn't be more adorable together...if that floats your boat, this could be the romantic Hallmark movie for you.

There are many things about this movie that were good/very good: very good actors, good cinematography, good conflict, good choice of Portland, OR, and New York city locations (actually the movie may have been filmed elsewhere), and very good chemistry between the 2 lead actors. The only problem is the script, and it's a big problem. It's almost as if the screenwriter tried as hard as possible to write the most trite and cliché'd script possible. There's not one clever thing in this movie, not one surprise, nothing that would distinguish it from many, many similar romantic movies; well, except some of those movies at least try to put in a surprise, some unexpected twist, which then might lead to other interesting things, etc. Just a few changes to the plot, maybe some clever turn(s) or something humorous, could have made this movie far more successful.

This was a really very good movie. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 8/18/2021.

This movie really surprised me. When I read the premise I was quite skeptical, believing that this movie would be another one of Hallmark's cheesy rom-coms (not that that's a bad thing!) but I quality of this movie was great!

The lead actors were fantastic, particularly Amy Acker who delivered a great performance.

I thought the writing of this movie was really great, as it didn't end in the cliché way I thought it would. I liked that the characters faced more strife and trouble in their relationship than the average Hallmark romance.

9/10 stars. You lost the last star in the finale moment. Just a teensy bit corny. Otherwise a great flick. Recommended.
