It Was Always You

The 2 lead actors are always a fan favorite. This is the only Hallmark movie introduced this year that I enjoy. I watch it whenever I see it is on. I see comments on Erin's hair, but I think it suits her character in this role.

It is very easy to see it as a real nice surprise from Hallmarmark. The touch of Sabrina works just well, the acting is more than good, the humor works and the tree house, golden flying pigs , the travel notes are just seductive. So, a film just nice , proposing, sure, familiar Hallmark recipe but proposing few drops of spices just inspired placed.

The first really annoying scene was at the restaurant that wouldn't sell a slice of Key lime pie unless the customer orders and eats 3 dozen oysters, which appears to be all it sells. It employs a waitress who brings 2 bottles of beer to customers who ordered a Chardonnay and a water, then drops off a check without apologizing. That's not charming and a restaurant like that would likely (and should) go out of business. That said, it does set up a nice moment later on.

The movie also goes a little overboard in making Erin Krakow's Elizabeth and Giles Patton's George seem like fun hating nerd robots. George is basically a caricature and the scene where Lizzie places a complicated ice cream order (presumably meant as an homage to Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally) was not endearing (although she was thoughtful enough to hand the worker a written list).

Tyler Hynes' David comes across as a pleasant free spirited guy at first, but he orders ice cream without having any money and then selfishly and thoughtlessly plays bad, really loud rock music in the kitchen at 2am which wakes up Lizzie (and presumably everyone else). He then interferes with Lizzie's wedding appointments after promising not to.

But, eventually, the movie settles into a more enjoyable groove (love the use of "How Will I live"). And every artist on the planet will have artist studio envy once they see the location of Louise's studio. The house is also quite lovely and the cool treehouse is worth a star just by itself.

I enjoyed the gradual awakening by Lizzie and her growing affection for David. I just wish he was a cousin instead of George's brother, although that was handled gracefully at the end.

It's probably a 6 star movie but that treehouse was really cool.

This was a great storyline with great acting. Please let's have a sequel!

This is the best Hallmark movie I have seen in a long time, the story was great, different from the standard Hallmark movie!! Tyler Hynes is not the usual Hallmark leading man! He has a edge that keep you guessing and keeps you wanting more Tyler! Erin Krakow looked fantastic and perfect actor for this movie!! For me it's a definitely a 10!!!
