Love in the Limelight

I was looking forward to watching this. It is seriously a big miss. I enjoyed their movies on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, they worked well together and were entertaining to watch. This entre was awful.

Not only did they both look like they were rid and put away wet, they both acted like they were in a bad high school play. Mrs. Penavega reminded me of a mindless air head and Mr. Penavega is not a singer. He is a decent guitar player. Frankly, they should stick to dancing. This Hallmark presentation is among one of the most boring movies they have ever made. Honestly, after the first 15 minutes, I was ready to delete it. I did watch the whole thing and then deleted it. At least it was new, if a dull though recycled plot.

Unlike other reviewers, I thought this was a sweet story and I enjoyed watching it. All of the main actors seemed to be enjoying themselves. I especially enjoyed the dancing Abuela. The film has a light humorous aspect. I thought that the married in real-life couple did a good job of showing their deep friendship and love for each other.

Alexa PenaVega's character is so unlikeable, rigid and boring - how could the male lead even find any connection with her. I wouldn't have liked her as a friend or colleague. Zero chemistry right up to the end. The movie quality at Hallmark has really deteriorated of late - sad - Fresh single blood is needed and a younger cast - not people who act old, kinda like conservative parents and so immature when they are meant to be romantic leads.

I don't know why people are bashing the actors. I think some of the comments were just rude. I think the acting was good. Then someone made a negative statement about them being "extra religious" as if this has anything to do with their acting. This was a good movie. I enjoyed the acting, the chemistry between the leads, the Latino influence and the story line. I really like Alexa and Carlos PenaVega together in movies. The grandmother was great. I am thankful for movies that are clean and family oriented.

Was hoping for more from this one since it was based on a true story but it was sadly lacking. It took two tries to get through it. Boring doesn't begin to describe it. Had a few good scenes, but not enough to hold my interest. Your life won't be incomplete if you miss this one.
