D'amour et de feu

Alona Tal made the movie better than it would have been. I'm big fan of hers from Supernatural. Wish H I could see more of her, but doubt it will be on Hallmark.

The movie deserves a solid 6, but I would have rated it higher with a different male lead. He is way to passive / boring compared to female lead. Besides this, the plot is very good!

The trials of a celebrity trying to date an unknown. It's been done, a few times. Throw in rival former celebrity beau. That's been done also.

I enjoyed the two leads. Perhaps some of that is because I was previously unfamiliar with Alona Tal.

His sister was great. I loved the deer-in-the-headlights scene.

The manager is truly hate-worthy.

There are better versions of this movie out there. She's a singer with a comeback and yet does absolutely no work. Granted she was in a near death situation, but that only canceled her show. She doesn't write music ever. She doesn't play any instruments ever...she's a non working singer who wants a life. Who would believe she wanted her career? The problem with this movie is that everyone else around her works to make her dreams happen. Including the fireman. And she comes off pretty ungrateful. IDK, I also didn't find her to be that engaging so I really quit about halfway through. Also in 2021, the idol worship of "famous people" is just really cringe.

I ended up FF to the end. Better movies with this storyline of famous person wanting to be with a "regular person" are: Summer of My Dreams and Wedding of My Dreams, Catch a Christmas Star, Guess Who's Coming to Christmas, or Beyond the Lights. Or Sweet Mountain Christmas with the amazing Megan Hilty. These movies actually showed the conflict between life and career.

Whilst watching it seems just like Britney spears story. Mum pushy stage mom, her life and what it's like. Throw a Justin in there. Read Britney life then watch.
