Quando Chega o Amor

It's so bad that it's actually funny.

Grownups behaving like kids.

The kids are way more mature than most of the people.

The plot is totally and completely unbelievable.

The acting sucks.

Lauren Holly has so much botox that her face is devoid of expression.

I love romantic movies. Truly LOVE them. But even me, a huge fan of this movies, find it boring.

I don't mind being predictable, in fact I hope they are; that's why I watch and enjoy them.

But this is way too much about everything.

Over the top, the actors work with what they have and do their best but it's not enough.

I even think there's no director!! That's how bad it is.

This was an easy movie to watch while multi-tasking. I don't usually watch these Hallmark Channel type movies, but made an exception for this one because it was set in fictional Bliss, Mississippi, my home state. So I am pretty critical about the fake Southern accents. Do movie and TV people realize that no Southerner of my generation or younger drops their r's anymore? They apparently listen to audio of Eudora Welty or Shelby Foote and think that's how we still speak here. Unfortunately, we don't. The town, especially the B&B, featured in the movie was beautiful, but there are no towns or buildings in Mississippi that even remotely look like them. As I suspected, the credits revealed the movie was filmed in Canada. Could they not even take a half-hour to go online and look at a few photos of Southern small towns?

I realize that many of the actors are from northern states and Canada, but apparently none of them are proficient in accents. At least, not Southern accents. But, I decided to try watching anyway.

Cute concept, but an abject failure when it came to story lines and characters. There are too many flaws to recommend this movie to anyone.

I tried to watch some of it and just couldn't. It's so fake, the acting isn't that good, the writing is HORRIBLE...movie that should have never made it on TV. Sorry, but it's just not good.

In the first several minutes, some of the cast talk some unrecognizable accent they consider Southern. My family have been Southerners for over 300 years, and I have never known anyone who talks this way. Moreover, some of them they act dumb. Southerners have the same distribution of intelligence and culture as anyplace else, and some of the cast are an embarrassment to Southerners, and to the classy author, Ronda Rich. Otherwise, it is a clever story, original and entertaining. Several minutes into the film, the actors mellow their vocalisms and antics, rendering it more enjoyable to watch. Some supporting cast members are superb. Too bad it took me three attempts over two years before I could get past the opening scenes of braying fake Southerners. Worth watching.
