Love in the Clouds

The female star looks like her face is made of plastic that a child painted makeup on and her lips were too plumped up with something. The bleach on her hair is a terrible color and looks like straw and what's with the black roots? The hairdo itself looks like she just got out of bed. If it all wasn't so pitiful it would look like a joke. Why is Paul's hair sticking up? That look is long gone, thank goodness. Paul always looks great and his acting is wonderful. The balloons are beautiful and the camera work is breathtaking. I cannot finish watching. I think that if the female lead looked normal it would be a good movie.

This movie is a visual spectacle, at least at times. Less than a third of it is worth watching, the balloon parts. Some of it is incredibly beautiful. And even informative about ballooning.

The rest of it is totally formulaic. The story follows the general formula of the reporter sent to do a hit piece by an unethical producer. This boss keeps calling her way too many times and she is always negative. The inevitable conflict between the romantic interests is pretty much the usual. Some of the details follow the usual formula of meddling matchmakers. His parents and her best friend.

The epilogue is cheesy.

Unless you rarely watch this genre and won't be put off by the same old, same old, I recommend recording it and then vigorous use of the FF button to skip everything except the balloon parts.

I don't watch Hallmark movies for great content. It's usually just for entertainment purposes. I love the stars and the scenery and the upbeat storylines. At least I know that a hallmark movie will always end on a good note. However, with this particular movie I was so put off by the terrible makeup on the female lead and the horrific wig, that they became the real co stars. Every scene with a close up I cringed. I don't understand why they insisted on either. When she's not an unattractive woman, she's gorgeous minus all the makeup and the horrific wig.

I stuck with it because of Paul Greene. Nice eye candy!

Had high hopes as I like Paul Greene a lot. The main female character was not well cast. She didn't have much personality and her acting was weak. It didn't help that the script and plot were simply silly. Same old Hallmark formula, nothing new to see here folks. I was also seriously distracted by the lead female's looks. I feel bad mentioning it but, wow. Yellow hair (yes, yellow) with a giant grow-out patch of black (that's not how ya do this look) and a face of harsh pink makeup. Total clash! Who are the makeup people on this film? Then there's the obvious fillers turning a probably beautiful woman into a (again) a harsh woman looking much older than she probably is.

We just went to the balloon fiesta and Albuquerque last year so it's really cool to see it. It really made me miss New Mexico I have to admit this isn't one of their best ones, I just didn't connect with the characters. I think I cared more about the supporting cast than the main couple. I liked the relationship that Lorenzo Lamas has with the woman playing his wife. The Balloon Fiesta is really something you need to experience. It's so amazing and the balloons are beautiful. If you are lucky get a hotel along the flight path and you can see them float by in the mornings. On the whole I would rather go to the balloon fiesta than watch this movie again.
