La Fille de l'ascenseur

Decided to watch this on my lazy Saturday afternoon. I don't really watch many hallmark movies but there wasn't anything on HBO I wanted to watch. This movie surprised me. It kept me interested the whole time. I really enjoyed it!

I didn't actually realize this movie was a modern day Cinderella when watching this which was good for me. Wasn't too cheesy!

The 2 leads had great chemistry and I loved the matchmaking secretary. The best friends in the movie were pretty believable. Great casting!

This movie was adorable. I would for sure buy it if I came across it in a sales bin at like walmart, video warehouse, or best buy.

A flat, unimaginative script is the main killer for this numbing chick flick, but not the only culprit. This appears to be a team effort by the director, writer and actors. I stuck with it because my wife likes to watch movies until the end; since I love harmony with my wife, I forced myself to stay awake.

Hallmark Channel seems to be known for sappy flicks -- and sappy flicks have their place -- but this piece of junk would have been better as a high school film project (viewed by a few dozen people).

There was, perhaps, one clever line in the entire movie, though I can't recall it now. The lead characters were generic and boring, the plot was oh-so-predictable, and the score was incredibly annoying and ridiculous.

The key positive was that it was over in less than 90 minutes.

Still another version of a modern day Cinderella, not oppressed, but rather a free spirit who meets the guy of her dreams when they get stuck in an elevator.

Our guy is a hot-shot lawyer who has just been promoted to a partnership in the firm. He is hard driven as work ethic really consumes him. Yet, a strong relationship develops between our 2 lovebirds.

The story is basically if people from two different backgrounds can really succeed. It's the old case of compromise here.

The cast is great and special kudos to Patty McCormack, as our guy's matchmaking secretary,who sees a good match in the making and fights to sustain it. If anything she is the "good" seed here.(Remember her as the evil child in her Oscar nominated role in 1956's "The Bad Seed?")

We see our guy's friend who wants him to date the girl of high social status. She is a snob in every word and our guy has no chemistry with her whatsoever.

Love conquers all. It's better than ever here.

My first Hallmark movie, but by no means my last. After reading all the reviews when I saw this available, I made up my mind to watch it and was not disappointed.

Lacey Chabert was great and lit up the screen whenever she was on, which happily, was frequent, Ryan Merriman did a good job as well, I had seen him before in a few of his earlier efforts. Patty McCormack stole the scenes she was in and her interaction with Ryan Merriman's character was well done.

It was a predictable movie and some parts were not as good as others, but it hit the spot for my partner and I and we really enjoyed it. Well done Hallmark Channel.

The reviewer who remarked on the elevator ending obviously did not really watch the movie, there was no goof, it was time lapse and story telling. If you were really watching and paying attention you would have understood. Watch it again and this time actually watch it before rubbishing it.

Very good easy to watch movie, lived up to my expectations and would recommend it.

Enjoyed this one and both the main characters. Also enjoy Bennett. Just wish Lacey would stop the schoolgirl giggling.
