Un coup de foudre malgré eux

Andrew Walker always delivers. He has to be a good actor to deliver the lines in the cheesy Hallmark scripts. Do guys in the US act like that ? really ? A nice idea, but here in the UK we are a tad more cynical, but Hallmark do give us an escapist couple of hours, so I'm not complaining. And not when Wes Brown, Andrew Walker, Barry Watson et al are on screen.

As for this film, well, yes, it was another version of You've got Mail, but enjoyable nevertheless.

I've always loved Bethany Joy and she has great chemistry with Andrew Walker. I like that it was set in Boston. The costumes were pretty cute though I've seen better, but I did like all the polka dots!

I really enjoyed this movie! I'm a fan of Andrew Walker. I think he has some of the best acting chops of the Hallmark leading men. Great chemistry in the leads also made this worth watching. I could watch this again!

Abby is a working girl who is still trying to figure everything out. After getting stood up again at a wedding her aunt convinces her write a letter to love, put it in a bottle and throw it in the sea.

In this letter that she threw in to the Boston Harbor...Abby really opened up for the first time ever. In a big coincidence her boss' son finds her letter in Alaska and her boss wants to pair Abby and his son Nick together so a little of her hard work and drive will rub off on Nick.

When Nick reads the letter of an anonymous woman, he emails her which starts what becomes a beautiful pen pal relationship between two strangers.

Their real-life relationship in which they are actually working together is a little bumpy.

It was a little you-got-mail lite, but still really enjoyable. The leads were very cute together and made for a fun hallmark romances.

Like for many others Hallmark films, nice can be the fair term for define it. But... . It is little different by what you can expect. First, for smart use of old fashion message in bottle. Second for surprising chemistry between Bethany Joy Lenz and Andrew W. Walker. Not the last, for delicate ingenuity. And for the dreps of flavor of old fashion romantic comedies of 1940's. So, surprising, it works more than well. A beautiful atmosphere, a just more than nice storytelling.
