Love's Greek to Me

Everyone in this movie sooo needs therapy. Like run, girl, run. Or see you soon on reddit making "AITA for wanting some privacy and deciding for myself".

I mean, they keep gaslighting and accusing the girl for keeping a distance when actually all she does is adapting to her boyfriend's family, him and all. "Oh you don't want to have your life changed in a moment, then maybe you don't love me at all". They have ZERO chemistry together and he doesn't even try. And him and his family are constantly like "well, you don't have any traditions so you'll have to follow a million of our", "uuu I can't say no to my mummy". Whaaaat. That made me so angry and sad for her.

When I saw the previews for "Love's Greek to Me," I was very excited to watch it. I had no idea that Greece was so beautiful! The scenery, the buildings, everything! I was hoping that the movie would be good, too. But it wasn't. The movie had a slow start. I was hoping that it would get better. But it didn't. The actors were not very good or believable, except for the lady who played the lead actor's mother. She was excellent! But she was the only one. This movie is definitely a dud. It's a huge disappointment. But the scenery is definitely not a disappointment. I recommend watching the movie for the scenery, not for the acting or the story.

I gave this movie 5 stars for the scenery alone.

I'll keep it short and sweet.

This is not your usual girl meets boy and the story of how they fall in love movie. This is about what happens after. And I just love that. I personally haven't seen much of that on Hallmark so it was a refreshing change.

It's a movie about love, family, and particularly about learning to trust and to adjust for the sake of the ones you love. For someone around the age of the main cast it deeply resonated with me and taught me so much. The sites were also really beautiful and had me wanting to go to Greece. Sigh...

All in all a lovely summer watch with some nice life lessons. I thoroughly recommend it.

I really like Torrey Devito and she was ok in this one. She usually Carrie's her emotions better. Her acting was better in. RIP but I didn't really like that movie until I saw it twice. The mother in law to be was quite good. She played the part well. She seemed like a demanding mom.

The Greek male lead was so unbelievable and missed the mark. He had little chemistry.

The movie drama, always drama In hallmark, was extremely week. The movie seemed forced in parts. Tortes mom was good and future sister in-law but the rest were so so.

I hoped for better but there wasn't chemistry and many parts forced. I will adjust my review after I watch again. Hopefully for the better.

Unlike most Hallmark movies, the romantic couple is already together from the start. So the entire drama comes down to planning a wedding, which to me shouldn't be a drama at all. I know people get a bit crazy about weddings, but a lot of it comes down to planning and random errands being run. That's not much to sustain a movie, so of course the writers chose to make the bride's mother in law a terror. In between moments of her being terrible, we get to watch the lead couple tasting wine and forcing out the most cringeworthy lines.

Unfortunately, this movie was not funny enough to carry the weight of such an overbearing mother in law. Who would marry into this mess? It was unpleasant to watch and made me want to find a more conventional Hallmark "meet and fall in love" movie without the annoying inlaws.
