French Romance

Loved it. Everyone played their role beautifully. Storyline awesome. Hilarie is beautiful. Loved it. The music was awesome. Made me feel I was really in France. I hope there will be. Sequel to this movie soon.hallmark thank you for all the good movies. Watched it several times. All actors were perfect for the roles they had. Beautifu movie.

....the soundtrack. I wish they'd release it.

The plot is predictable but pleasant. A nice distraction during (another) lockdown.

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.

This movie was actually decent, the acting was really good and the leads have chemistry and the story was good for hallmark standing

Is it super original? No. But it's quite good in the romcom genre en therefor very enjoyable. The actors can actually act, they feel relatable even though the male lead is muscular and the female very skinny (too skinny for my taste).

Their characters are not over the top, not clownish, as we quite often see in this kind of movies. The writer and cook scenario is most unoriginal, but it didn't bother me too much this time. I can't really put my finger on it, but I liked them. They weren't too smooth, they felt quite real.

I am usually not charmed with a child character. They are always too wise, too cute and perfect. But in this movie the teenage daughter really added something, eventhough in the beginning she was too flat and predictable.

So: enjoyable and definitely above average for a romcom.
