Amoureux pour toujours

Since I haven't read that Austen book, I can't comment on how closely related is to the source material. But I will say aside from the usual conflicts that you'd expect from a Hallmarkesque movie. It is a whole convoluted mess, but an enjoyable, laughable convoluted mess.

The characters themselves definitely represent the current masses due to modern resources. But that doesn't distract from the undertones of how social media can shape and form our lives, as well as how family can be such an influence on your own views as a individual.

Wren, the heroine of the movie was definitely on the merry-go-round of life circling three men, having a connection with all three of them.

But who to choose?

The ex, the newbie, or the set-up?

Definitely give it a shot but while I say this, it doesn't mean this is a masterpiece. It's not but it is quite funny at times.

The 'modern day' working girl patter of this script kept me wondering how long this movie been gathering dust in a can on the shelf of some Toronto warehouse

The performances are pretty good but the script and direction, which somehow manage to make the Austen plot seem plodding, have all the hallmarks of a five year old Canadian Lifetime movie. I can't believe I paid to rent this.

Honestly, I don't usually write reviews but this deserved one. Wow! What was that?! Listen, I am a sucker for Rom Coms and Jane Austen adaptations but this was something else. I don't even know what was worse from everyone talking in hashtags to the exaggerated British accent to the atrocious dancing in the club. Also there was zero chemistry between the two leads. Yeah this should have never seen the light of day.

First, I loved it. Obvious, it is far to be a real adaptation of Jane Austen novel. But it seems a sort of eccentric try to seduce. Seductive for spices from millenialls, references to music and cliches. But, after first good parts, a sort of vicious circle, crazy, vulgar, chaotic is present. The fresh air of beginning becomes unrealistic story, too kitsch and less moral. Good points, the cat Lul and Bebe Neuwirth. So, nice if you are not have high expectations about it.

There's very little that's good about this movie, but the worst are the protagonists. No chemistry, no charm, nothing. The actress playing the lead honestly made me cringe. Even teenagers in school plays can act better. She seemed plastic, childish, clumsy (that way of dancing and walking) and just generally bad. Not a sign of the strong lead that Jane Austen wrote. Don't lose two hours of your time watching.
