L'amour en gants blancs

source: Butlers in Love

I loved this so much! I've watched countless Hallmark/Lifetime/UpTV movies and this might be my favorite. The chemistry was on point, the banter and wit was authentic, and the friendship - turned love, was completely believable. My husband and I both enjoyed it from start to finish. We liked the storyline, but these two lead actors pushed it over the top! 10/10! Hallmark, please continue hiring Stacey Farber and Corey Cott!

I was very favorably disposed to liking this one. I loved the setting: Butler School! How unusual! I look at a lot of shows that have butlers. And I loved the fresh faced youthful girl next door looks of the female lead. The guy was pretty cute as well. It started off pretty good with a beautiful setting, interesting factoids and elements involving behind the scenes of being a butler. The main guy started off as an entitled snooty jerk, which was promising in that I was drawn in by the story behind that and anticipation of a nice character arc. When it was revealed what accounted for his attitude, all was forgiven. The rest of the story was OK. Maxfield Caulfield, playing the head of the school, paired the two leads together to help both of them. Emma, despite her lifelong dream of being a butler was flunking out, but she had the commitment and passion for the job which Henry lacked. They helped each other and fell in love. Unfortunately it ended with a whimper. Emma, thanks to Henry, graduated near the top of her class and earned the sought after letter of recommendation needed to secure the position of her dreams. Thanks also to the help of Henry's parents she was happily ensconced on an estate in Scotland serving the type of society movers and shakers she had dreamed of doing all of her life. It was the fantasy opportunity of a lifetime. And then she quits. The job was everything she was told time and again it would be. Nothing bad or even surprising happened. So much for passion and commitment. What a flake. It was for no other reason than the writers not being able to get her back together with Henry for the happy ending. They wrote themselves into a corner. They end up working together in a hotel (I think) somewhere and making out on the job in full view of the public. So much for appropriate behavior. It was a bad message to send to young girls who dream big and work hard.

Who would think one could do a film on a butler school ! Stay Farber is the attractive butler babe with red hair. She falls for the good looking student in her class that comes from a family of butlers. However he wants to be a chef. Not a bad film. I'd marry stacy if I was 35 again..

The other reviews here are very negative, however I found this to be very cute and with a different premise than the usual Hallmark ones. I don't watch Hallmark movies for their in-depth dramatic themes. It was light, humorous, and the actors looked like they were enjoying themselves.

I loved this delightful and romantic Butler-themed Hallmark movie. Emma and Henry were well suited for each other and well acted naturally as their relationship grew. Sometimes love just comes softly. It was so interesting to see the intricate details of butling. It is not as easy as it looks. The professionalism and seriousness were appreciated in this film. The head master of the school, Maxwell Caulfield, was exceptional. As others have indicated, Hallmark should have done more butling homework. Hair is always worn back when serving food, and Emma had her hair down the entire time.

I really enjoyed this Hallmark romance, largely due to the performance of Stacey Farber, who plays Emma, a young woman who attends an academy for butlers. I found Emma to be unlike most Hallmark "princesses", which was refreshing. She is humorous and plucky. Her opposite in this romance is played by Corey Cott (as Henry), an academy student who comes from a long line of butlers. This film may not display as many romantic sparks as some, but the central relationship feels genuine and affable. Although other reviewers have scoffed at the idea of wanting to be a butler, the film explains that good butlers have six-figure incomes. That might be enough motivation for some.

Why would you have a person that desired to be a Butler her entire life be so horrible and not know anything about the job. Started out that she looked like she had practice her entire life and once she got there she was just a bumbling idiot. Had no desire to even finish the movie.

I've been called a Hallmarkophile but if they keep putting out garbage like this, I may need to move on. How can people who got into an institute that's harder to get into that law school wouldn't be SO bad at simple tasks and wouldn't be so flippant about things like GETTING OUT OF BED! And, once again, the lead is so unlikable! Hallmark, you're about to lose a regular!

It was an interesting concept however, there was zero chemistry between the two leads, the interaction amongst the cast was dull, and really the characters were annoying. He couldn't tell his dad he didn't want to be a butler. She thought being a butler would offer her an opportunity to see the world and meet important people. Little does she know when you serve others, your mouth remains shut, and you are viewed as the hired help. She went through all that "schooling" and two days in called it a day and quit. It was silly. The ending probably was the most irritating part. This one was a no for me.
