Romance with a Twist

From the start Bennett was somewhat cold. Luna knew how to deal with him though. I thought the car scene was sweet and realistic when he said he had a surprise for her. Loved when the prospective partners auditioned. So funny. Felt there was a lot of Luna with her family. The couple definitely needed a hug together when they danced at the festival, to warm things up before the lovely ending! Olivier Renauds facial expressions made me smile and the finale was super, especially as the music escalated and the couple climbed higher. It was a little slow in places but came together well at the end.

This was a very well done movie and I am glad I watched it. The leading actors were solid in their performances. This was for me, somewhat of a departure from the usual Hallmark movies in that it was breaking new ground as two wounded souls worked together through turmoil and turbulence to prepare and then put on a performance. Being a team of just two pushed boundaries for both of them. It was interesting to watch the struggle each had. The support cast was strong but I think they could have been better introduced and strengthened. As an example, it took me more than a few minutes to figure out who was who, especially the individuals surrounding the lead female actor. There could have been more visible warmth between them not just words.

This film had some issues, but it was fun to explore a different topic for a Hallmark romantic film and smart to use an actress with former ballet training.

Premise:Luna gave up her dreaming dance to help her family out in their construction business. Her best friend is responsible for putting together an arts festival that is pairing professionals with local talent...including her brother who is a famous Olympic gymnast and now does silk Aerials for a Cirque du Soleil-like show. He gets paired with Luna, agreeing with his sister to give her one week.

The two main actors were cute and the premise was did enough it was worth watching. While not my favorite Hallmark offering, I appreciate that they are trying new things.

No chemistry and boring boring boring.like watching lumps of clay. The arial stuff was lame and brought nothing to the show. There was about 30 seconds of dancing, and it was like watching somebody warm up in a ballet studio. It brought nothing to the show. All around garbage really. The actors had no chemistry together at all. Nothing made you care about these characters or their story. Very pedestrian. I would not recommend wasting your time watching this movie. If you happen to be laid up with a broken leg and there's nothing else to do feel free to waste two hours of your life otherwise I just finding anything else to watch. When I read some of those great reviews, I feel like Hallmark must pay them to write such stuff because it's so not reflective of what was in the show.

The leading lady looks and sounds like Geena Davis! They have to be related. If not they should be. Talent and strong women. The man was perfect for this movie as well.

Hallmark is always great for giving a good movie but just wish they weren't SO predictable.

Why so many words for a review? Seems a bit much but I want my point made about Geena Davis. This girl should have been cast in the new Beetlejuice movie.

Like Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson look so much alike it's uncanny.

Amazing artistry in this movie so win win all around.

On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being highest I'd give it a 7.5 😉.
