L'amour c'est mieux en vrai

I fast forward through a lot of this. Acting wasn't great, except for Shawn. Since Shawn wrote what this is based upon, I need to see if the book is better. First Hallmark movie I didn't really like.

Two hours of this was too much; a 30-minute version would have been preferable. It seemed more like a group of actors trapped in what they knew would be one of Hallmark's mistakes, but for me, the most uncomfortable observation was that I thought the father and daughter were actually married to each other when I first turned on the movie about 15 minutes in; their dialogue seemed more like husband and wife. A good cast in a poorly edited, poorly written, poorly paced movie. The scenery was nice, though.

Émeraude is a beautiful young woman with no game. She needs to get more acting experience before carrying a full length movie. Wooden performances all around. The story was so weak I didn't care what happened by the end. The story seemed to take forever. The writer did a great job with "Miss Christmas" - so what happened here?

I watch all of the Hallmark movies, and I almost always finish them and like the vast majority. This started so flat that I decided to come here to see what others had to say. Dismal. I still gave it more time, but it was not worth another 90 minutes of my life. I will pick another. The acting was stiff and amateurish. The dialogue was boring. The scenery was pretty. Hallmark movies all follow the same premise, they are clean and always end with the one kiss. Formula, yes. But at least most are interesting

I've seen many Hallmark movies and this ranks at the bottom. Why? The story was weak, the characters weaker and the chemistry was absent.
