Trois vœux pour une nouvelle vie

Lolly gets a once in a lifetime chance when her Aunt gives her 4 magical lemon drops. The first 3 lemon drops to be taken right before bed with her announcing a regret or a path not taken, but if she takes the 4th and last gum drop she has chosen one of her other 3 life paths. With each her life is both great and challenging, and she must decide the path she would like to go, one of her 3 other live's, or her current reality.

Different than the average Hallmark movie. I loved the story and the perspective of Lolly realizing and choosing her bliss.

Wonderful acting by both leads, I adore Ian & Lyndsy. But the supporting cast was just as amazing. This one is a win for Hallmark!

This is one of the best Hallmark movies I've seen in a while! It's quirky, sweet, and charming, but I didn't find it too "cringey". It was a refreshing break from other Hallmark movies with their typical plot lines. I did find it refreshing that they didn't over-preach and have too many forced lines about lessons leaned. Most of the dialogue seemed authentic and genuine. The camera angles, scenery, and styling were great and seemed higher quality than other hallmark films. The main actress was also really enjoyable to watch! What an enchanting and enjoyable story about living out the "what ifs" of life!

6.4 stars.

Fonseca is in my top ten women of Hallmark movies...at least I think she is. If I had to pick a top ten, the list expands pretty quickly. I'll be like: oh yeah I forgot about her, and I must include her, and this one definitely belongs and that one is a total top ten, and then Fonseca comes in a distant 14th place...who knows? What I know is that she seems to pick some pretty odd characters in almost everything the last three years, which has noticeably had an impact on my feelings about her. Too bad really, I've been rooting for this kid from HIMYM.

The plot is nothing special, the story is slow, the chemistry is absent. The dialogue is mundane but the acting is okay. The rest is up to usual standards. *sigh*

Another dumb topsy turvy Hallmark movie. What's the obsession with magic, the supernatural and sci-fi, there is nothing wrong with a good basic romantic comedy.. Rom-coms are an American thing, but they don't go out of style and are fun. Even European countries are enjoying US and Canadian rom-coms. Another bad script ruins the movie.

The dialog isn't good, too much inane dialog. Get rid of all the nostalgia and the past, focus on the present and look to the future. The location in Manitoba and filming locations used were nice and the cast is generally good, it's always nice to see Ian Harding.

I recognized Lindsay Fonseca from Next Stop Christmas. The two movies are similar in their exploration of life choices and "what ifs". I feel the Christmas movie is better - more natural and funny - but this one has good moments too. Both movies are metaphors for believing in ourselves and following our dreams. That's not an easy thing to pull off in real life which isn't glossy and sentimental like a Hallmark movie. There are no surprises, but the movie is as comforting as the homemade pies that keep appearing. Watch it when you're in a sentimental mood with your significant others. Recommended!
