Un amour irrésistible

Almost always enjoy movies with Alison Sweeney or Marc Blucas. There are some Hallmark actors that never disappoint and these two are on my list. What can I say about the movie? Great chemistry between Alison and Marc. Great cast, just enough humor to have me chuckling.

My only problem is the dart game Dead Presidents, I don't know how to play darts but shouldn't their target be a bill with a President on it? Benjamin Franklin was never a president dead or otherwise. I understand that they were playing for 100 dollars. They could have used two 50 dollar bills since Grant, a president, is actually on that bill. If the target doesn't have to be a president, then they should call the game something else.

Just saying and whew, got that off my chest.

Loved that she became a celebrity in the town as The Swimmer and the Karaoke scene, where she realizes that she no longer wants to be "living in somebody else's skin".. the whole movie was charming and just what I have come to expect from Alison and Marc.

If a sequel is not possible Hallmark at least needs to pair Marc and Alison in other movies, they are great together.

Read the book too, it is very good.

Great scenery, but not Maine. I spent a lot of time in Maine while in college and family vacations. The give away to me was that the mountains seemed too high for the supposed locale. I thought BC Canada where a lot of those kind of movies are filmed and I was correct.

Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas have great chemistry in this movie. City girl travels to beautiful rural town to deliver a letter from her recently deceased grandmother. A few run-ins with the handsome local carpenter and she's feeling tugs at her heartstrings as to what to do, since she is some-what engaged to someone else. It's a cozy heart-warming story. All the actors/actresses do a great job and nothing felt cheesy. I fell in love with Marc Blucas after this movie. Alison Sweeney always performs well. Love the dance scene. I like it when the Hallmark movie can just take you away from the real world for a couple of hours. Highly recommend this one.

Any one of the three primary characters in the triangle, if they are on the bill I will give that movie a go. Marc Blucas has done several great roles for Hallmark and Allison Sweeney even more so, but Kavan Smith - anyone who can act so patient so constantly with Rosemary Coulter has got to be good.

Unfortunately I won't say this was the greatest role for any of those three, but Sweeney and Blucas did have chemistry and were good to watch. The story premise was somewhat fresh if not unique. Still there were no great highs or lows, nor were there any great surprises. The existing fiancé, in Smith, was hard to dislike but they did make it clear they weren't in sync.

Despite the intended excitement of the karaoke, I was a little disappointed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I love Marc Blucas and although I am accustomed to Alison Sweeney in her mystery movies, she did well. It has the typical Hallmark formula: career city girl with slick city boyfriend meets down-to-earth, charming, genuine country guy and there is an almost tangible chemistry between them. Will they or won't they... you know the answer. :) I love her karaoke scene and I love Marc Blucas' energy - the safe, strong, silent type. These movies are predictable but they take me away from the stresses of daily like - work, politics, news, violence... Just everyone falling in love and living happily ever after. Thank you Hallmark, for taking me away from reality, again and again.
