Made for You, with Love

The movie sounded interesting, but the shop owner, who isn't financially successful and who has a rent increase that may jeopardize her business, turns down a chance to put her business in the forefront of social media to attract customers. It was an honest offer, (given by the guy who will be her future love interest), an article in a major magazine, and a genuine chance of a lifetime to see her dreams continue. She's full of self-pride and decides she doesn't want publicity of any kind, thank you. She wants to stay poor. She just wants to make enough money to get by. No way to run a business and was so ridiculous a premise that we deleted it to watch something else.

Endearing characters make this standard romcom more appealing than it deserves to be, with photogenic Ganem (who depending on the angle resembles either Salma Hayek or Nigella Lawson) playing the talented, principled seamstress whose wedding dress business is buckling under the strain of rising tenancy costs.

Clayton James is the stuffy foodie and prospective suitor, but he's not really in contention when former wildlife photographer Brendon Zub offers Ganem's character a photospread that could deliver her business the financial lifeline it needs to survive.

Light as a feather, feel-good Canadian comedy features a good soundtrack and genuine chemistry between the likeable leads which makes for a satisfying viewing experience without ploys nor pretence.

I liked the first part and its spring flavors, the humor and fair dose of realism. But the line of wedding dress donaters was real...creepy. Indeed, nice acting, seductive story, some different nuances - from jobs to the dialogues -, charming scenes of teasing and the plants and the Amanda dates and the chemistry between actors.

The result is just seductive, reminding, sure, at level of drops , old fashion romantic films in which the collaboration changes, in decent way, its content.

The good points - the obstacles and fights to solve problems. The solutions - only formal . But is it a real problem ?

Short, grateful for the spring air of story.

Love, love this film just for the moments when the two are alone together. He makes my heart pulse, and you can see the real chemistry between them. Not always portrayed in some TV films. Loved it when they danced in the wedding dress shop.....magic. Keep with it, unlike the other reviewers comment. There is more depth to this story line than at first comes across.

Edge Ganem portrays a strong, independent woman, striving for her dreams. That portrayal feels genuine.

Also Brendon Zub, He is one of my favourites so I guess I can be prejudiced.

Want to see so much more of Brendon, he is so funny in this, and comes across so natural, as does all the interaction between them. I'd love to see a follow up to this film.

I've watched this twice now and it still feels fresh.

I'm not a fan of weddings, so almost didn't watch, but this movie focuses on what's really important. All the characters develop well, so the narrative has purpose.
