Summer Villa

I liked it because it was different, not the typical plot of a Hallmark flick. The daughter gets involved and makes it a cute turn- out! Victor Webster has a very nice body too! There is a predictable element about this movie, but it's got some unpredictable moments as well, making it worthy of one viewing for sure! I hope you enjoy it because I did.

This is a great Rom-Com. Sure it has it's expected flaws from a movie like this but overall this is one you can watch several times. The female lead is played to perfection, there is chemistry between the leads, and the story is good. Everything else is nitpicking the writing really. Give it a watch, it's well worth it.

After reading some of the reviews - I hesitated to watch. I know from experience- if I am not in the mood - hallmark movies can seem lame. I'm guessing that was the mood of some of these negative reviews. I thought this was adorable.

Hilarie never disappoints and I thought there was definitely chemistry between the actors. Is it predictable? Yes - but that's why I love hallmark. I know I get a happy ending.

The story is sweet - watching them fall in love is fun. Sit back - enjoy the movie. It's adorable is best word I can think of.

This is a Hallmark romantic comedy about Terry Russell who is a famous romance novelist, but since her divorce is struggling to write. She lets her friend and publicist fix her up a blind date with said friend's brother. The date starts very badly when he thinks the woman next to her is his date...and then proceeds to royally put his foot in his mouth. Terry pulls the plug on their date and leaves...but the friend's brother, Matthew Everston, ends up more concerned about the bad review his restaurant receives from a critic.

Under a harsh deadline, Terry agrees to use her friend's summer villa in France to try to get some inspiration for writing...only when her and her daughter arrive...they aren't alone at the villa, Matthew is there. The two eventually agree to coexist at the villa...but it is not long before tempers are riding again, you see Matthew not only restaurant owning, but he is a bit of a celebrity chef known as "chef Cupid".

The real glue that holds this rom-com together however is Abby, Terry's daughter who at first was very unhappy about being pulled away from her friends and home...but eventually loosens up and finds her passion by way of cooking!

The film starts a little choppy, but warms up if you let it, into a sweet romantic comedy. I recommend this to all you romantics and hallmark fans out there.
