Wonderful character development!
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
A fairly predictable movie, but it's probably what you wanted to see if you tuned it in. And it serves its purpose and satisfies your "feel good movie" craving. It works. Shona Kay is stunning of course and delivers a solid performance here. My only complaint is the sound. The music overpowers the dialog constantly. In many scenes, changing camera angles introduced a noticeable echo mid sentence. In short, the sound quality is terrible.
It's a lightweight, fairly decent movie if you like powderpuff pieces about horrible, vacuous, unpleasant, unkind, rich women who change the habits of a lifetime within a few weeks, all because they find the right man (and maybe god), this is the movie for you.The acting is passable, although not wonderful. The female lead seems several years too old for the role and for her behaviour. Also it would have been nice if someone had told her to cut the last 6 inches of dry, split ends from her hair.I was going to give it 4 stars but took off 2 of them because too much god at the end.
I've been fairly impressed with the Hallmark movies, but this one was a real bomb. Predicable and contrived, the only thing left was to invest in the main characters. Isabelle, the "beautiful beast" was neither. She was just whiny, selfish, and elitist. The amount of time it takes for her to wake up (not a spoiler, because you know it's going to happen) is unrealistically short. There's just way too much suspension of reality here. And the pacing makes us see much more of the bad than the good, which leaves unresolved aspects of the ending. Trust me-skip this one.
I loved this film. It was adorable. Brad Johnson was gorgeous as the leading man and the two leads had good chemistry. It was romanticWhile it was barely (almost nothing like) Beauty and the Beast, it was lovelyI'm a sucker for movies like these and big budget Hollywood just don't make them anymore. They're all lewd jokes and sex and violence so it's wonderful to see a romantic and touching movie about falling in love. I could always watch movies like these so it's a joy to find a surprise like this that I can own and watch again and again and still enjoy it. I wish they could just make more movies with likable leads and a nice story everyone can enjoy, but, they just don't seem to anymore
