Le Camp des cœurs brisés

Bon film !

This is on the worst end of these churn em out rom coms. The lead actress is monotone, with zero sparkle or presence. It's beyond formulaic. You don't care what happens cuz they don't bother to make you care. There's no reason he'd fall for her. Not that he's any great shakes. Beyond boring.

Of course it' predictable as to ending but the journey that the two leads took together to facing their problems was really well done. The dialogue was believable and as another reviewer pointed out, I was invested in the characters.

Did I witness a proper kiss rather than the closed lipped friends kiss that Hallmark seem to do. Love Ryan in anything. Great actor or is he just playing himself. Movie was enjoyable, great chemistry between Ryan and Italia.

Favorite scene with Miranda Faraday (Italia Ricci) - Very upset at Ben regarding his Expose rough draft on her and her Boot Camp.

Expectations were rather mixed. The story did have potential to have a more mature theme than the usual Hallmark film, which it did do regarding break-ups, and handle it sincerely without being over-serious. It is familiar ground formula wise but the theme was very interesting. Ryan Paevey can be watchable dependent on the film, but have always been less sold on Italia Ricci. While 2021 was an uneven year for Hallmark, they did have some winners. 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart', the second Spring Fling film of the year and the lesser one, is not one of them. It had potential to be, but while the potential is far from squandered it isn't fully lived up to at the same time and could have done more with the theme. As far as 2021 Hallmark films go, 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' is not one of the best. It is also a long way from being one of the worst. The good intentions are obvious and easy to appreciate, especially if you've been there, but there was a good film somewhere in 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' that doesn't properly materialise. The best thing about 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart'. Paevey is subtle and charming, never stiff and bored, and the biggest surprise of the film is seeing Ricci giving a good performance (one of her better ones in a Hallmark film) that doesn't come over as cold or robotic, understated and sincere. The supporting cast are solid. Really appreciated the message and its good intentions and there are sweet and moving moments that inspire. The chemistry between Paevey and Ricci to me was there and it was like their performances, understated and genuine. Maybe there could have been more development in the relationship, but the two work well together. Hallmark wildly varies when it comes to music, while nothing out of the ordinary it is pleasant enough and fits. However, the story didn't completely grab me. Did find it on the slow moving and thin side, and felt that it could have done with more warmth and charm. It is also despite the mature theme, which never goes skin deep, very formulaic with an ending that is not much of a surprise at all. The script is too talky in a fairly verbose way and while some of the more motivational parts were inspiring there was a tendency to preach too much. Did find the production values disappointing this time, while some of the scenery is nice in its own way it is not authentic and let down by the too self-indulgent photography that cheapens it and less than tight editing. The central relationship could have developed more. Overall, not great but watchable. 5/10.

She's understated bu5 good. This one with Ryanpeevey is most enfjoyable. Beluev3 ch3mistry but believe her angst through the movie. Ryan is good but it is very similar to other roles.

Based on the commercials, I didn't expect to like this movie, but I like both Italia Ricci and Ryan Paevey a lot, so I gave it a chance. Both of the actors did a great job and the story was good. I'd watch again.

As is most often the case with Hallmark movies it is set in Portland but filmed in Vancouver, B. C. and surrounding locations. It is an attractive, if lightweight, movie and my wife and I were suitably entertained. The theme is a six-week program where people meet one evening a week to do exercises to help them get over a difficult breakup. One of them is a reporter who initially goes with his sister, then is asked by his editor to do a story. He and the pretty instructor became attracted to each other. Naturally when the pretty instructor finds out she is indignant. But as all Hallmark movies go, the attractive people find a way to get together in the end. This type of movie is a good change from all the movies with excessive violence and filthy language. Hallmark movies are nice, decent entertainment. On DVD from our public library.

I watched it once and have not watched it again. It has been on TV many many times. So even though it was a decent movie and the characters and story were acceptable to me, it wasn't interesting enough for me to watch it again.
