The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I really liked this movie. It was much more realistic than a lot of other movies on Hallmark-two people who lead two vastly different lives but want to be together. Don't get me wrong I enjoy Hallmark movies a lot but sometimes you want something that seems more real and less over the top cheesy love. The couple had actual arguments I'd imagine really do happen with real couples and it brought home a main premise (or at least what I thought was the main premise) of the story: compromise and realization of one's self. The supporting actors are people who we probably all have in our lives; friends who don't always support, at least initially, who our significant other is and those who realize the one you are with is the one you should be with. I would def.watch this again especially because I personally felt chemistry between the two main leads and I'm a sucker for Lacey Chabert.
A flat, unimaginative script is the main killer for this numbing chick flick, but not the only culprit. This appears to be a team effort by the director, writer and actors. I stuck with it because my wife likes to watch movies until the end; since I love harmony with my wife, I forced myself to stay awake. Hallmark Channel seems to be known for sappy flicks -- and sappy flicks have their place -- but this piece of junk would have been better as a high school film project (viewed by a few dozen people).There was, perhaps, one clever line in the entire movie, though I can't recall it now. The lead characters were generic and boring, the plot was oh-so-predictable, and the score was incredibly annoying and ridiculous.The key positive was that it was over in less than 90 minutes.
Still another version of a modern day Cinderella, not oppressed, but rather a free spirit who meets the guy of her dreams when they get stuck in an elevator.Our guy is a hot-shot lawyer who has just been promoted to a partnership in the firm. He is hard driven as work ethic really consumes him. Yet, a strong relationship develops between our 2 lovebirds.The story is basically if people from two different backgrounds can really succeed. It's the old case of compromise here.The cast is great and special kudos to Patty McCormack, as our guy's matchmaking secretary,who sees a good match in the making and fights to sustain it. If anything she is the "good" seed here.(Remember her as the evil child in her Oscar nominated role in 1956's "The Bad Seed?")We see our guy's friend who wants him to date the girl of high social status. She is a snob in every word and our guy has no chemistry with her whatsoever.Love conquers all. It's better than ever here.
I love the Hallmark movies. My mom and I watch them together all the time, but recently I've felt some of them haven't been up to par. Thankfully, Elevator Girl is the exception. It was cute and fun and believable. Not too sappy or preachy, just good fun. The chemistry between Ryan Merriman and Lacey Chalbert (?) was great (though I admit I still have a hard time seeing RM as a grown up actor and not think of his DCOM days where at one point he played a leprechaun). Ryan Merriman showed he can be an adult actor and I was very happy with that. LC usually annoys me but I really enjoyed her performance in this. I'll definitely be buying this one on DVD so the count down for that begins now. If you like Hallmark channel movies I think you'll like this one.
