Love Unleashed

For a Sunday afternoon, it's just fine, given kids are likely to be around. Kind of a Disney, straight to video level. As for the lead actress being "noticeably" pregnant, no. She looks about 4 months. Descriptions here make it sound like she is heavily pregnant and she is actually barely showing. It is mostly covered up with big t-shirts and gathered blouses. Really, why are actresses expected to be stick thin anyway? Congratulations to her for having a girl and adopting two boys after an earlier miscarriage! Celebrate, don't criticize.

Christopher Russell as Ryan Hill and Jen Lilley as Hailey Goode did a credible job in the movie. What's not to like about Christopher Russell, good looking, heart-stopping smile, good actor. Jen Lilley is sweet, very pretty, and obviously pregnant in some scenes. But after a couple scenes I hardly noticed it anymore. Bailey Skodje as Emmy Hill was adorable and a fairly good actress. Puppies were cute and cuddly, clearly type cast. But please, people, learn to hold puppies, grasping them around the middle and letting them dangle in your arms is just not comfortable or safe for the puppies. All in all it's a very sweet, predictable HM film. No surprises. A better script would have been nice, I pitied the actors in some of the scenes and they were trying so hard to make it work with a mediocre script. Question - in one scene Ryan says that his daughter would go binoculars if she knew he was with the puppies without her, What does that even mean??? My Advice: It's watchable and worth the 80 some minutes.

Is it just me but Jen is really, really hard to understand when she talks. She talks fast and so low that I have to increase the volume each time. The puppies are cute though. They are the reason I kept watching. The leads have zero chemistry. What a waste!
