Road Trip Romance

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.

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.

I agree with many of the reviewers because i usually like Natalie Hall because she is so adorable. I don't know what it is about several of the Hallmark Leads, not good at all. It seems like they take these guys out of soap operas and expect them to act better in a movie. I know a few of you bashed Corey but this wasn't his fault because the script was terrible. Even Natalie looks stupid at times with this story, but she is so beautiful.

She's one of my favorites but didn't care for this movie. Something didn't mesh. Not sure if it was the dialogue or the chemistry but I was disappointed.

As far as road trip romances go, this one came across like a 1970s AAA road map. Once you open it up, it's almost impossible to fold it back the right way and you end up shoving it into the glove box a jumbled mess. This one lured you in with the premise of road trip hijinx, but in the end it just comes across as flat and the hijinx mostly forced. I like Natalie Hall, but her character was rude to a lot of people (and the backstory with Corey was just a little overdone). The Renaissance Faire added some entertainment, but also went on for way too long. The subplot with the conniving wallflower bridesmaid got way too much screen time, and the ending was just ridiculous. And for the second time this year, Hallmark allows the maid of honor to turn her toast to the bride into a soliloquy about herself. It had its moments, but not enough to merit watching again.
