Ce qu'il faut savoir sur l'amour

Bon film !

Wonderful script strategically directed by Brian Robert's with no wasted dialogue. Camilla Belle is the mature version of Dakota Johnson with a depth that captures the interest of young and old. We need more of her. This film is far beyond streaming and well worth your time.

This isn't just a Tubi original. This is the first Tubi original. In the world of this movie - perhaps it's science fiction - they still make magazines that are the most important way of information getting out into the world. Spark magazine is where Carina (Camilla Belle) works as a romance advice columnist but she's unlucky in love. After all, she's been with a lawyer named Tom (Karn Kalra) for five years and he breaks up with her instead of asking her to marry him. That's when she meets new writer Liam (David LaFontaine) who offers to help her win him back, but if you've ever watched a movie, you realize that they're meant to be together and there will be a third act that makes you think they won't but of course they get together. Camille Belle is a pretty big star for a Tubi film, as she was in Practical Magic when she was young, as well as the remake of When a Stranger Calls and, well, Dirty Dancing 3: Capoeira Nights. This was directed by Brian K. Roberts, who also made An En Vogue Christmas and The Unauthorized Full House Story. It was written by Shannon Latimer, who has scripted several movies with the words wedding and Christmas and combinations of the two words.

Didn't know any of the actors, but I was surprised at just how well they did. The story line was upbeat and entertaining. We all know where the movie is going but still sometimes we want to walk away from a movie feeling better, not dragged down. So, if you want a simple, pleasant, cute love story then this will fit the bill.

Real people never behave like the characters in this movie. The main character works as a writer who reduces love to a bullet list. Real people are not that stupid. In scene after scene, characters behave and shallow unnatural ways. For example when she breaks the news to her boss that she's broken up with her boyfriend. The boss immediately picks up a tissue box and holds it out for her to take one. She wasn't even crying or anything. No people don't act like this in real life and the writers of this movie should know better. One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I admit the first quarter of the movie almost turned me off to it because not only did I find out it's a tubi original (all I could think of is cheesy, Hallmark things) but also they played her character like the smart but clueless type... She is that, but not the "stuck in her ways" trope, Check 1 for not being the tireless gag we always get. They learned along the way. Two: They didn't make them clash for comedic value. (The Ugly Truth) Things naturally progressed and each party recognized and didn't shy away. Three: The conflict wasn't contrived forcing both parties revert to their older traits and ideals, they recognized the misunderstanding and though tempted to not, braved the storm anyway. Hope this had no spoilers because we all know how these end but I'll say this, it was no early 20's drama piece of ego but maturing, figuring out of things we all resemble coming out of the latter. Extra point for the soundtrack.

Let's be honest you're not here because you're looking for a masterpiece, but perhaps, something light maybe funny and romantic. The movie is pretty straight forward but is very sweet and cute. Some of the dialogue between the main characters is honest, like: be in the moment, I think there's value the way you engage to everything; is so simple which is so underrated these days. Soundtrack is lovely too.

Yes, it's a little Chessy but the acting is well done, and I like Camilla Bell in romantic movies. She just needs better scripts and a higher-level production. I am giving a ten because an idiot gave a rating of one and this movie is around a 6 or 7, not a one. It's cute and cheesy but the premise has been done more than once.

Let me start this review by saying Im a huge Camilla Belle fan, have been for years, and I think she is absolutely gorgeous. However this movie is very bland. Camilla Belle has always played it safe in her movie choices and this film is no exception. She is basically playing herself, a kindhearted 30 something woman with an American father and Brazilian mother. The plot is predictable and the acting is lackluster, the two leads have no chemistry whatsoever. Also Camilla got an unfortunate haircut recently so she had to wear a party city wig for this movie. The production couldnt afford a decent wig?
