Blueprint to the Heart

The story itself was a little formulaic and limited with characters and space due to the times we live in. I have never seen the leading man (Dennis Andres) in anything before and how refreshing he was, he had lots of onscreen charisma and a unusually masculine man for these sorts of movies. He managed to pull off the more vulnerable parts of the characters personality very well too. I would love to see him in more.

All in all a reasonable movie give the difficult circumstances of filming. It would have been improved by a better script but it was not the end of the world.

I'm all for standing up for women who are put down, but this movie is the other way around - she's too hard on the bloke over things that don't matter and aren't even a problem in the first place... it's kind of the opposite of misogyny, which I don't want to see either. I struggled to make it through the movie once, and certainly wouldn't rewatch. A few of the earlier Reel One movies, some starring this male actor, were like this but I've seen him in better RO stuff since. This movie is theoretically all-age friendly, but the woman doesn't really set a good example, so it would probably do more harm than good.

Dennis Andres is the movie; he's perfect in this movie and in A hint of love. He is a natural: he masters comedy, drama and he can be both funny and touching without putting in any effort. I think however in both of the movie the leading actress was not a good choice: no chemistry what so ever.

The two leads do an effective job in this low budget fast shoot movie.

Laura Mitchell is particularly attractive in a nonthreatening way and her acting gives "Wife Material" vibes as intended for the movie.

(Lots of words to say that she is convincing in her role.)

Dennis Andres is as charming as he can and very effective at taking his character from a carefree with no sense of responsibilities ("Star Lord/Chris Pratt" Guardian of the Galaxy), to a more mature person.

The vehicle for this transformation being a reality TV show, lends itself well for them to explore each other's personalities and grow.

The cinematography is adequate.

The soundtrack is acceptable.

The editing is done professionally.

For a low budget movie shot in 30 days, this was a good entry into the genre.

This is a good movie that I think the whole family can watch and enjoy, The acting was good. And the script was well written. Yes, I HIGHLY recommend it. James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas. 1/26/2022.
