Amour, Star et Beauté

If it weren't for Linda Dano I'd have rated this movie a 5. I always enjoy Jen Lilley and she seems to be able to create chemistry with most of her costars. Not this time. Ryan Paevey looks like he's about to kiss his sister every time he leans in to her or tries to look interested. He had more chemistry with his buddy Zach at the coffee shop than he did with Jen Lilley. But it's a cute movie with an otherwise decent cast. Linda Dano made it for me. She's a great actress and really fun to watch. I hope Hallmark uses her more often. Every movie they make has some older female as the mom, aunt, mentor, business owner or doctor so they should have plenty of parts for her.

Hallmark has been doing more stories lately about people involved in making TV shows. Many have been a Reality Show theme, but this focuses on a daytime Soap which is a bit new. Interesting given Jen Lilly's background.

The story is OK, but no big highs or lows or surprises. The conflict arises out of a stupid misunderstanding which really didn't add up.

If Lilly and Paevey had chemistry, it wasn't obvious. They had the friends thing going, but the romance factor was low.

As always, Hallmark did a cute movie. Something easy to watch with a love story.

I wanted to like this movie because I like the two lead actors. But the story was kind of boring. There was no spark between them. No real emotion just flat dialogue. I'm trying to think of a positive but the only thing I remember was the nice house the male lead lived in - very nice yard and the dog was ok. Even he wasn't into the the movie.😂

It was tough to sit through it for 2 hours. Bad writing.

Loved the soap opera angle-different for Hallmark. I was excited to watch Hallmark stars Ryan Paevey and Jen Lilly's chemistry on screen but found it weak at times. They seemed somewhat distant until the end kiss. I wish there was more storyline development and less music. I did like that Paevey's character had a decent storyline independent of the female lead-not always the case with male leads in Hallmark movies. Usually its all about the female lead.

All in all I gave it a 5-good for one watch but not a DVR save.
