Romance in Style

Nice seeing a different look from the typical actors,especially female lead wise however.. Hallmark has ways of turning things into clichéd or in your face messages(like drilling in a viewers head,this movie was about body positivity)instead of simply a plus-sized person in fashion versus otherwise dealing with everything along the way.

Which begs the question would Hallmark act like this,with a thin person?.. Give a plus-sized person another lead role,without only using them for their stereotype.. So feel a bit mixed,on their intentions currently.

Enjoyed the overall casting,cinematography,outfits & is worth seeing if you haven't.

This was a really powerful and positive and realistic story. The 2 leads were so good together. Jaicy Elliot proved herself on Grey's Anatomy and this took her to an even higher level. She's so much fun to watch and was the perfect choice for this role. Important message presented in a positive way - nothing gets in her way for long. ( obviously Hallmark had to have the "misunderstanding " between the leads at the end because it's what they do). Benjamin Hollingsworth was a sweet foil for her despite his "eligible bachelor" role. This is a keeper I'll re-watch. Don't see many of those anymore. Substance. Yes!

Great story. Actors are so natural. Such a honest story. Most of the cast is well cast. Great chemistry between the two leads. The writing and direction is great.

This had the makings of a great movie. I think the 9s and 10s previously given as ratings are from all of the overweight women. I say that as the size 16 woman that this movie is geared towards. While I do think the fashion industry caters to the Size 0s of the world and I love the idea of pushing the industry to actually change, I do not think it is any healthier to push obesity, which is what Size 16 is, in the name of "body positivity". Again, this comes from a woman who knows her Size 16 needs to be more like a Size 6. I love the leads from Grey's and Code Black and was excited to see them together. I didn't see the chemistry everyone talked about even though they are both great actors. The writers made it VERY difficult to like Ella. She was so rude and condescending to the guy she supposedly liked that I couldn't figure out why he'd ever want to be with her anyways. I had higher hopes given the actors, but this was a miss.

Great message, and an important one. One of the best movies Hallmark has put out in quite some time. A believable pairing with real chemistry between the leads. I really wish writers would aim to get away from including somewhat awkward dance scenes as filler in every film, this one included. Also, the ending felt a bit contrived, especially with the naysayers suddenly seeing the light, but all in all, very enjoyable.
