Feeling Butterflies

C'mon, those aren't even close to Monarch caterpillars. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Monarch caterpillars have white, yellow and black stripes. I know this a flaky love story, but you couldn't come up with some.

7.4 stars.

I've hit a dry patch lately. Not a whole lot of decent Hallmark in the past week or so. Most of them in the 6 and 7 range, not many over 8 stars, I need 8 stars. This was a good movie, not a great one, the leads are wonderful together, she is a breath of fresh air as this character who loves butterflies, lives butterflies, knows all there is to know about them. She is an insect scientist who also does butterfly shows and releases them at weddings, birthdays, other events. She is drop dead gorgeous as we all can see. She has an assistant and he's a fun character. Kevin McGarry is the usual Hallmark male, and I'm afraid he's a one trick pony. He is the same person in every story, be it this one, or the Wedding Veil series... He needs a kick start, but on the other hand why would he care, he's worth over $100 Million. What, where did he get all that money? Maybe these Hallmark people are burnt out, look how many things they have to do every year.

Such a cute, wholesome movie. I enjoyed Kayla Wallace's and Kevin McGarry's performances. They have great screen presence and come across quite natural together. The script itself could have used some polishing (the ex-girlfriend subplot wasn't very interesting), but the overall movie was cute and heartwarming.

Clearly the production team has someone posting fake reviews on this one.

The movie itself overdoes it on the Hallmark sound effects -- every line is accompanied with some annoying music to tell you how to feel. The characters are awkward. The main rival is a mustache-twirler, the lead's best friend can't help but smile during every line, and the lead's father is overly invested in marrying off his daughter. And butterflies -- not sure where they came up with that idea, but it makes the whole thing feel silly.

But if you're dying to watch another woman fall in love with a rich good looking guy who just happens to be available and never has to work a day of his life so he can instead spend all of his time focused on the lead woman then this will do the trick.

Too much CGI. Too much juvenile competing between the supposedly grown women running butterfly businesses. Emily's father and best guy friend are too invested in her finding a husband. Garrett's father wants him to find a wife. The ex-girlfriend is too intent on her vision of reuniting and living the life she wants. The leads are too busy letting past lives keep them from moving forward, or being just too cute for words. The information about butterflies was the best part of the movie.
