Amour à la carte

Bon film !

This is just me, so nobody needs to tell me I am wrong kay ... Well, I watch Hallmark shows for sweetness and to restore the soul (again, that is just me). So imagine my shock with this show. The quarrelling is alarming and too much like unpleasant real life to be enjoyable to watch. The hostility levels are so high, it made me cringe. I think the 2 leads may actually dislike each other in real life! The lead female role is so unpleasant, she is not watchable. "Oh actually it's Mina" and she is SO rude and arrogant with her ex schoolmates. She is really unlikable.

There are some Hallmark actors who are consistantly excellant: Andrew, W. Walker, Taylor Cole and Marcus Rosen are on that list. In fact when I saw that Andrew and Marcus were both in this movie I was torn, who should I root for? Who do I hope gets the girl? Kudos to Andrew and Taylor, good job, chemistry was spot on , banter was amusing, and the script was the typical Hallmark fare that we all enjoy. The movie provides all the Hallmark charm that we have come to expect and look forward to. The supporting actors were good and the relationships were fun to watch. I particularly enjoyed Alley Mills as Tallilah Jones, she was enchanting. Marcus Rosner as Reed, what can I say, he's a very good actor and I always enjoy his movies, but don't enjoy him as the heavy, with his dimples and smile he is good-guy charming. Not the best, but better than most. My advice: watch this movie at least once.

This was such a cute movie! Predictable, sure, but it played out perfectly. I loved the small town setting, it made me want to live there! The restaurant menu writing was also a fun concept.

Formula movie. Wish Hallmark used local film locations. Question: what was that refrigerator in her aunt's home??? Loved it!

I love these type of movies in which the girl who now lives in a big city goes back home to fix something or somehow ends up there looking for something she is missing. The boat scene with the beer? Laughed out loud. Movies like this win me over when the guy looks at the girl like she is his everything, (Of course there gotta be chemistry to actually feel it) this was no exception. Yet, the end makes me wonder a few things, did she quit her fancy work in a big city to a be wife in a small town? Does she work from there? The restaurant is working in the way she accomplished to convince the bosses, but that's all we know. Despite the doubts these type of movies tend to generate, it's worth the watch.

I totally agree with that person about putting some effort into getting to know about the people and their culture of the city or town they're supposedly representing beforehand. Yes I am a lifetime Tennessean and I can't tell you how many times this movie made me wince. I don't care if they use the same leading actors or themes. It's not that hard to find some of the supporting actors or actresses that live in that area they've chosen to use for their movies. No there are no apples to pick here in February, let alone full on vegetable gardens.

The movie was cute but the refrigerator in the aunts house stopped my heart does anyone known brand or anything due to its being filmed in Canada. I guess it's a Canadian brand. Anyone?????

Why do you care where the movie was filmed? How could that possibly matter? Do you represent some Tennessee Chamber of Commerc or something? As if you could tell the difference unless you were actually a resident of the city it was filmed in. In that case, Hooray for You! You're almost famous... adjacent. Quit your whining about location and enjoy an enjoyable film. And if you don't like remakes with familiar themes and actors, write something all new and never before seen by audiences anywhere. Oh, and then act in your grand production yourself. I'm sure you can pull it off, Shakespeare (Oh, wait. He wasn't completely original, either). And if you can't manage any of that, just change the channel. Nobody wants to hear your "expert" opinion about a simple made for TV romantic movie. The rest of us weren't expect an Academy Award film. Just an enjoyable story with enjoyable actors. And that's exactly what we got.
