Romancing the Birthday Girl

No review content available.

Overall, this is worth watching. I like that the lead character has issues and quirks, which make her human. The story doesn't meander much or get distracted by unnecessary B-plots. What I don't like is how the leads exude goofiness with each other throughout. I guess that's how they work the "com" into "rom-com," but to me it becomes annoying and detracts from any sense of romance. Having a laugh with each other is important, but these two would probably joke their way through wedding vows, all while pretending they aren't actually getting married.

I loved the story. As always, Emily Ullerup really embodied the character. A real feel-good movie with good vibes. One thing though. The background scenery from the roadtrip to nowhere was obviously a photo on a green screen. Hallmark, don't ever do that again. We're not stupid, we can see that the depth perception is off. How hard can it be to find an actual road with some beautiful scenery? It shows laziness, just don't.

Nice is the favorit term, in my case, for define Hallmark romantic films. It this case , this word works not so well. First, because, except the drawing with elephant by Chloe, except Daphne. Hoskins herself , except the yoga with goat, nothing works . The chemistry between Clayton Jones and Emilie Ullerup is just...fiction. The single parent - a too used clichee. The challenge of late mother and the duties - not original or inspired used. Sure, it is only another Hallmark. Nothing to expect, nothing provocative, the perfect film after a very busy work day. But the poor viewer could desrve a better story.
