مخطط للقلب

This was a nice film with good acting. I enjoyed watching them fall in love. I especially enjoyed them shopping for clothes for the "man makeover" as they were having such a good time and I even laughed out loud along with them ( LOL ). The film was good clean viewing which was also lovely.

Okay the gorgeousness of Dennis Andres himself alone is enough to warrant ten stars. Then you've got a beautifully designed story, an aesthetically pleasing set, and fantastic supporting characters and actors. The chemistry between the two central characters is believable and slow building, and the characters of Tiffany and Brooks are complimentary and endearing. I like how the storyline came together in the end with a completely new idea taking over that represented the best of both of them and together, that was seriously awesome and so nice and surprising <3 I loved everything about this movie (except the name which didn't really come in to play as they weren't builders? A design themed name would have fitted better.) Well done everyone on a fantastic movie!!

This is a good movie that I think the whole family can watch and enjoy, The acting was good. And the script was well written. Yes, I HIGHLY recommend it. James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas. 1/26/2022.

Dennis Andres is the movie; he's perfect in this movie and in A hint of love. He is a natural: he masters comedy, drama and he can be both funny and touching without putting in any effort. I think however in both of the movie the leading actress was not a good choice: no chemistry what so ever.

The story itself was a little formulaic and limited with characters and space due to the times we live in. I have never seen the leading man (Dennis Andres) in anything before and how refreshing he was, he had lots of onscreen charisma and a unusually masculine man for these sorts of movies. He managed to pull off the more vulnerable parts of the characters personality very well too. I would love to see him in more. All in all a reasonable movie give the difficult circumstances of filming. It would have been improved by a better script but it was not the end of the world.

Dennis Andres always lights up the screen and makes any movie fun to watch. This was a cute movie and enjoyable from start to finish.

My main problem with this one was why any home renovation show or interior designer with any taste would want to change this carpenter's cute authentic and cozy home. They wanted to rip out the hardwood floors, remove the original old wood fir tree beams and knock out the walls to make it a McMansion-style house. And they wanted to do the same to him, basically. This guy who was a casual, cheerful, very talented Carpenter who looked like a poor man's Chris Pratt. And I mean that as a compliment. However, the chemistry between the two principles was excellent and good triumphed over evil in the end. Probably doesn't deserve it, but I'm giving it 7 stars for the likability and overall appeal of the hero.

Normally - with UpTV movies - I watch about 20 minutes and delete it off my DVR. Bad storylines, bad acting - are usually the culprit. This one was actually above average. I watched it from start-to-finish. AND ENJOYED IT! The acting was pretty good - some familiar secondary actors from Hallmark movies can be seen. The leads were like-able and nice to watch - and the bantering back and forth was cute. I smiled and even laughed at some of the interactions. The old boyfriend was a jerk. Yes - the women gave up her TV career - BUT NOT FOR THE GUY. She did it to make herself better. YAY! What a concept. That's a believable storyline.

There are two things I don't like to see in a review. "Worst movie ever" or something similar. And people saying a movie is terrible while admitting they only watched 10-20 minutes. I've watched so many movies where I hated the start for any number of reasons and ended up liking the movie. This movie started out so that I was thinking it might actually merit the statement of worst movie ever. Then a bit further I decided, maybe it just deserves worst premise ever. Then I wondered if maybe it was a parody on reality makeover shows since it was combining home makeover with a makeover of a person. I haven't completely given up on that last idea. Here's the awful premise: oh yeah, who wouldn't want to watch a reality makeover that comes in and tells a blue collar guy that not only is his home terrible, but he is a loser personally as well. Insult the guy and expect him to take it. Not only that but force the makeover on him when he doesn't want anything changed in the first place. I loved how they snuck that contract in and not only did he not read it, but neither did Tiffany when she promised him it would be great. They keep insulting him well into the movie. They want to force a blue collar guy into high fashion, men's style. The acting was fairly good with the possible exception of Clayton James whose only contribution was to stand around and look either bored or disgusted. Oh and there was Johannah Newmarch's fake smile that wouldn't fool anyone. I started to like Laura Mitchell in the second half and there was even a little chemistry developing with Dennis Andres even if it seemed like forever before they started to connect. In the first half, they didn't even have that playful banter because Tiffany was completely missing anything Brooks said or felt. Complete disconnect. Like my title say, things start to get better the deeper we go into the movie. The climax and ending aren't half bad.
