This one started off extremely well. The writing was intelligent, and Melora Hardin (A.k.a. Trudy Monk) delivered her lines with verve and vivacity. It was clear that this was going to be one of the Hallmark 2.0s that the network has been flirting with lately that eschew the usual fill in the template set-pieces, and characters. Paul Campbell in a cameo appeared as a bartender who serves to introduce the main character, Emilia, played by Melora. So I was set to enjoy this. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the mother, Emilia's, past abandonment of her children after the death of her husband. Yes people make "mistakes". But a 5 year absence is not a "mistake," it is a cold-hearted, selfish, cowardly choice. And as for cold-heartedness her hurt daughter was a chip off the old block. She was very unlikable. I don't fault her for her feelings towards her mother, but I didn't like her childish acting out, especially towards her very faultless and innocent love interest, Her mother's doctor. As the movie went on, Melora Hardin's performance started to grate on my nerves more and more. Her over-the top emoting was just hammy. Her speech at her book-signing was just cringe inducing. The self-involved airing of all of her bad behavior and embracing her children's successes was not an apology to her children, it was another "all about me" performance. So, what promised to be a more sophisticated (lesbian romance included) version of family-friendly fare, just fizzled, for me. As for all the Hallmark fans who toss about the term "woke" for Hallmark's attempting to correct their past of ignoring of a good chunk of the population, I have to laugh. Woke means "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)." The Oxford dictionary adopted it the same year, defining it as "originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice." I don't think Woke means what they think it means, to paraphrase Inigo Montoya.

This movie is trying way too hard to be cool or relevant or Gen z friendly...it failed, miserably. Only got about 10 mins in and I gave up from boredom and sore eyes from all the eye rolling. The characters had no good lines, you aren't at all invested, the plot was muddy and confusing, the acting was under and over played by different characters. Hot mess. Skip it!

Widow leaves grieving young adult children after the untimely death of her husband and their father ... returns to her hometown five years later as a best selling author. Lots of hurt feelings, abandonment, lack of communication. Takes the widow almost two hours (length of the movie) to say she is sorry. I rated it a seven because the acting carried the picture.

A supposed heterosexual woman on a dating ap and goes to meet a match, but turns out the date is female and suddenly decides to explore a same sex relationship? Not believable. Writer mom tries to reconnect with children because she is sick. It would have been a much better story if the story focused more on the reconciliation between mom and kids before it's too late. The side gay relationship is Hallmark's attempt at being "up-to-date." Doesn't work. Hallmark should concentrate on re-establish the murder-mystery movies which were much better, than stupid romances.

I've been binging several hallmark romances since the Covid lockdown started. A majority are, in my opinion, formulaic. Love, Classifieds is the first one that I've seen that is seems real. Less restrained, spontaneous, not-so-perfect-&-shiny. To me it's a refreshing take. Even this movie makes a statement about that. Love is unpredictable, murky, imperfect & real. So much more rewarding. Loved this movie! Highly recommend! NOTE: Would love it if they made it a series. Just saying...

This is a really well made movie. It feels like a cute independent film. All the characters are well rounded and well played by the cast. Franki and Taylor are adorable. I'm not really hallmark's target audience, but I loved this movie so much I may have to rethink that. I'm so much more likely to check out hallmark's movies now.
