Butlers in Love

Enjoyable film. I'm on the fence about the butler school plot, but appreciate Hallmark trying something a bit different and watched it twice.

The strongest part of this film is definitely Farber and Cott. They are both very likable and their dynamic is fun to watch and believable. Cott, in particular, is one of the best leading men I've seen in these. He plays cocky guy who is actually warm and grounded very well. I was rooting for both their characters and hope to see both these actors in more Hallmark films.

It's as if the writers of the final two scenes didn't watch the first 90% of the movie. They undermined it all with how they concluded the story. Without the inconsistent ending, this movie would probably be a pleasant watch -- maybe a 5 out of 10. It was pretty dull either way, though there were some nice scenes and a really fun, likeable lead actress.

The femme lead is obsessively fixed on being a butler. She falls for a Son Of A Butler at school. Love or Butling! Can She manage both? The screenplay spends much of the action on Butling. Is it Be Careful of What You Wish For?

Maybe not the best storyline, but the acting was good. The three main characters were fun. Maxwell Caulfield was good as the stern but kind teacher. The overall movie was cute. The scenery was good. Would watch again.

I really enjoyed this Hallmark romance, largely due to the performance of Stacey Farber, who plays Emma, a young woman who attends an academy for butlers. I found Emma to be unlike most Hallmark "princesses", which was refreshing. She is humorous and plucky.

Her opposite in this romance is played by Corey Cott (as Henry), an academy student who comes from a long line of butlers.

This film may not display as many romantic sparks as some, but the central relationship feels genuine and affable.

Although other reviewers have scoffed at the idea of wanting to be a butler, the film explains that good butlers have six-figure incomes. That might be enough motivation for some.
