Brimming with Love

Hallmark recipe. It seems be the lead trait. Not well used but giving a decent product, a sort of easy romance, with not spectacular story- only predictable - and a reasonable acting. A love coffe shop. A young man and his grandparent. A young journalist, friendship, sentimental meanders, fake tension and the expected end. Nothing new but confortable.

Allie is looking for a place to work and Sam, convinced that he was an employee of hers, passes him some balloons to hang. Being on the staircase she doesn't see who she was and when she notices she offers him a coffee because she was kind that she helped him. When she is inside she is given 30 coffee cards to make new acquaintances. Allie proposes him to her boss to be promoted to writer of articles, she finds a huge obstacle that she having suffered she does not want to experience and asks for help from her friend. A very well acted story with many points the protagonists are nice and funny. Does this film make a lot of thinking about people who are afraid of falling in love but if they find a person they trust is it love for life?

I saw this on the UPtv network, but made by Lifetime. I really like Asbille in Yellowstone and enjoyed seeing her acting in something different. I found her character, Allie, in this tv movie a bit too depressing, however. Her eventual love interest, Sam (the coffee shop owner) was just not interesting enough to be appealing. I found the two coffee shop employees the most interesting, with Allie's two coworkers being next interesting. Overall-movie-wise, I saw no reason to place the movie as being in San Francisco. Except for a few panoramic views, the remainder of the movie appeared to be on a generic movie-set. With the square-dancing scene, the movie would have been more believable if set somewhere in the mid-west or even Canada. The outdoor scenes in the park just didn't look like San Francisco. Nice try, but it's hard to get the feel Hallmark gets with its movies.

While the story is kinda typical and you see what's going to happen a mile away, the actors are cute together. The boss is annoying. But what is going on with the background music? It's awful and totally distracting. At points you can't even hear the dialogue at all. I ended up having to put subtitles on just so I can understand what they are saying. Ok love conquers all I suppose.

The background music is sooooo annoying!!!!! The background music is sooooo annoying!!!!!
