Road Trip Romance

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 usually love Hallmark movies, but this is incredibly bad in every way: the plot is juvenile; the acting exaggerated; the directing uses the same gimmicks repetitively during the festival; the dialogue is immature.

I've been wishing it would get better or be over since the first couple of minutes. I'm an hour and a half in, and the first one isn't happening. Thank goodness the second will.

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.

The sister of the bride doesn't know what church her sister is getting married at?? Come on!!

Hallmark movies are generally lame but enjoyable but this was really,really lame. Yet I continued to watch.
