Cutesy movie to watch once

This was fairly cute and endearing, though it's not something I'd watch again. It wasn't good enough for multiple rewatches or to be a favorite.

7.5 stars.

After reading several abysmal reviews, I was a bit uncertain about whether or not I wanted to continue with this film or just move on. But I saw something in the list of actors and the storyline that got my attention. So I decided to watch as much as possible before deleting and proceeding to the next Hallmark film in my watchlist.

To my surprise, around halfway, this movie does a complete 180 and becomes more entertaining, fulfilling, endearing, romantic. Good feelings emerge, relationships blossom, and everything comes together nicely, wrapped up and tied with a pretty bow. You have to watch this movie beyond the midpoint if you wish to experience the joy that it brings.

Pucker Up

This is a cute little TV movie in the "Miracle on 34th Street" vein. Besides some rather amusing acting -- particularly Simon Kassianides as a Marquis or perhaps Prince who prefers to get drunk and fall into an amnesiac fugue rather than marry his horror of a social-climbing fiancée, and Kiernan Shipka as a straightforward young girl who would rather believe in magic than live a rather empty life, there is plenty of subtext in this movie about hope, expectations and San Francisco -- although that highly cinematic town is not shown to any advantage. Surely a few more original pickup shots could have been arranged.

The romantic interest is provided by Kellie Martin, who is directed in the manner typical of a Hallmark TV romcom: brittle, fast-talking and ready to fall. There won't be much in the way of surprises in this work, but a light, almost negligent handling of the issues by director Ron Oliver keeps things moving along at a decent clip

It is early February 2011 according to the calendar at the beginning of the movie and there is a full moon in the sky. The full moon that month was on February 18th. Also Zoe says "there is a blue moon this month". There can never be a blue moon (a second full moon)in February even in a leap year, as the lunar month is 29.53 days long.
