Quand l'amour s'envole

I noticed that most reviews are negative and critical so I decided to say I liked this story a lot. It's romantic and low key, a pleasant change from today's hysterical screaming people one has to tolerate in movies and in real life! Thank you Hallmark!

I always said I'd never rate a Hallmark movie below a 5 because they're family-friendly, but this should have premiered at Thanksgiving because it's a turkey. Cindy Busby spends most of her time pretending to care about a cast of near-cardboard cutouts and a stupefying soundtrack, which is a shame because she's carried movies before and during her time at Hallmark. If the movie was trimmed to about thirty minutes, it might have moved at a more realistic pace and the writers might have been inspired enough to give their actors something to do.

A new Saturday night Hallmark romance is always an anticipated joy. Sadly, this film did not live up to that anticipation. While the lead actress struggled valiantly to do something evocative with the weak and predictable script, her efforts were futile. Cindy Busby is always the energetic, expressive lead actress one counts on . She has a dazzling smile, sparkling eyes and a true sense of the role she is in. This script did not give her enough to work with , and her gifts were sorely wasted. To her credit, this is the first movie this viewer has ever seen on Hallmark where the lead actress is in a bathing suit. Not only is she in a bathing suit, but she looks perfectly comfortable in it. She is also viewed in a bikini bathing suit "bottom" that is the most audacious wardrobe risk Hallmark has ever taken. Good for Cindy Busby ! How innovative and courageous of her to accept these wardrobe demands. Her leading man was a mystery. Not being familiar with any of his previous work he was new to this viewer. What was wrong with his uncombed hair? Could a wardrobe/makeup staff member not have brushed his straggling hair off his forehead and given him a cleaner appearance?

With very little script and plot to work with, and with the story line being the most familiar Hallmark theme, the real star of this movie was Lake Tahoe. Stunning and thrilling to look at and a good distraction from a predictable and unoriginal story.

All the reviews I saw were bad but I may have seen something they did not because I thought it to be ok, worth watching anyway. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 03/16/2021

Movie was slow. If it hadn't had Cindy Busby, I would have given up. The story was okay and the scenery was awesome.
