L'amour sur mesure

Endearing characters make this standard romcom more appealing than it deserves to be, with photogenic Ganem (who depending on the angle resembles either Salma Hayek or Nigella Lawson) playing the talented, principled seamstress whose wedding dress business is buckling under the strain of rising tenancy costs.

Clayton James is the stuffy foodie and prospective suitor, but he's not really in contention when former wildlife photographer Brendon Zub offers Ganem's character a photospread that could deliver her business the financial lifeline it needs to survive.

Light as a feather, feel-good Canadian comedy features a good soundtrack and genuine chemistry between the likeable leads which makes for a satisfying viewing experience without ploys nor pretence.

The movie sounded interesting, but the shop owner, who isn't financially successful and who has a rent increase that may jeopardize her business, turns down a chance to put her business in the forefront of social media to attract customers. It was an honest offer, (given by the guy who will be her future love interest), an article in a major magazine, and a genuine chance of a lifetime to see her dreams continue. She's full of self-pride and decides she doesn't want publicity of any kind, thank you. She wants to stay poor. She just wants to make enough money to get by. No way to run a business and was so ridiculous a premise that we deleted it to watch something else.

I liked the first part and its spring flavors, the humor and fair dose of realism. But the line of wedding dress donaters was real...creepy. Indeed, nice acting, seductive story, some different nuances - from jobs to the dialogues -, charming scenes of teasing and the plants and the Amanda dates and the chemistry between actors.

The result is just seductive, reminding, sure, at level of drops , old fashion romantic films in which the collaboration changes, in decent way, its content.

The good points - the obstacles and fights to solve problems. The solutions - only formal . But is it a real problem ?

Short, grateful for the spring air of story.

I'm not a fan of weddings, so almost didn't watch, but this movie focuses on what's really important. All the characters develop well, so the narrative has purpose.

Realistic, funny, and the actors were great! I don't get those who say it wan unrealistic. How? The romance blossomed in a very realistic way. I find too many of these movies have people fall in love within a week. This was not so.
