Road Trip Romance

All that i can say.. It's hard enjoying a movie,when this Hallmark formula has done in years past.

Honestly could go to sleep,wake up & feel nothing of relevance was missed.

Although the leads have done other enjoyable products,what basically failed them here was again the overall theme.

What next.. Hallmark? Will you recycle in topic,but call it something new.

Also why choose music that had a Christmas feel,during a few renaissance scenes throughout?

Cinematography is always decent enough,but otherwise not making my rewatch list.

5.4 stars.

Take a Hallmark barrel of wine and you'll find "Road Trip Romance" submerged in the dregs. How am I going to get through this film? I am not. How far did I get before I opted to delete from my DVR? You may guess if you like. 51 minutes is where I am at this moment as I write this review. I have 260 (give or take) characters left before I've met the minimum requirement. I feel obligated to finish the review if only for the responsibility I have toward all those who will someday read this. I don't think anyone will ever read this but myself next year when I'm trudging through the huge list of Hallmarks to eliminate the dross. I will never return to this failure of an attempt at light humor. Maybe there's an audience for this, who knows.

This is pretty much what you'd expect. There are no great highs or lows or any surprises. Like so many movies about being stranded or a bad road trip, the only tension was if Megan would get to the wedding. It doesn't really matter what the obstacles were but there were definitely a flight cancellation and a car break down.

The tone and style of the movie reminded me so much of Cross Country Christmas. The silliness was a little too much at times. The sequence where everyone added "eth" to the end of every verb got annoying. But otherwise the Renaissance Fair was a highlight.

I tend to enjoy Natalie Hall, but not always. I did not like the character Megan in the early stages. I thought she was unnecessarily mean to Alden. But she and Corey Sevier had modest chemistry.

I used to tune into every single Hallmark Channel movie when new ones premiered, but this one...nope. The whole festival was way too drawn out and long. The Hallmark writing department must be scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find a decent script. This was unwatchable. I suffered through it though because I like the two leading actors a lot. The two didn't have any chemistry whatsoever and I felt like they were over acting during certain parts. I hardly paid attention to this one. Definitely a one time watch for me.

The HM road trip movies are pretty much all the same. This was not one of the best... I have liked Natalie Hall in other HM movies, not so much in this one. She was not likeable at the beginning of the movie, and the romance just never seemed to develop. No chemistry. The Renaissance Fair was not bad, but the awful dialect of the participants was just annoying. And HM continues to go WOKE, interracial couples that add nothing to the movie, I'm going to be turning off these movies from now on as soon as the WOKE elements are presented. Older HM much better.
