Head Over Heels

I am an avid Hallmark fan / deciphle. And don't understand why they keep producing movies with the same tired old plots. This movie had such potential great cast and a refreshing concept. What does Hallmark do is use the same tired old writing. The villain as the head of the company gives a one dimential performance acting very mean rotten and no ceo traits. This is typical of how Hallmarks portrays this type of character. The leads are good but have do little time acting together makes no sense. They have charisma yet the writer focuses on the one act villain / owner.

Why does Hallmark keep doing this?

I keep waiting for them to get better but sorry to say it doesn't look good.

This movie is boring slow moving and very obviously a poor redo on the high fashion mean girl world of New York

If fashion is so mean as these movie seem to show why would anyone want to go there.

It is a very Hallmark formula film which usually doesn't bother me but this is really to slow moving and disorganized story line.

The main character of course is a young and plucky woman but she has a book full of shoe designs that no one sees. There is the hunky young guy who is trying to help her and break free from his over involved father that controls his life.

It just all feels stale and been there done that.

Rebecca Dalton (Addi) and Olivier Renaud (Austin) are both lovely and while I liked them, something about this Hallmark romance didn't hit with me. The concept was decent...but things like the Jekyll and Hyde boss and the ridiculous men's shoe fashions were ridiculous. And can I say how wasteful it is to trash all of those shoes?

It seemed a bit ridiculous for Addi to go from repairing shoes, to assistant to the owner/designer, to designing her own line of shoes. I also was pretty confused about the respecting the importance of family, yet not having a good work life balance.

The story starts with Addi working in her father's shoe repair shop with him and her sister...but dreaming of being a shoe designer. She ends up getting an entry level position for her favorite designer's company, which works almost immediately into a job as the designer's personal assistant. She meets the designer's nephew, Austin, who does or for her company. The romance is between Addi and Austin...but not without a lot of nonsense in between.

Not really a recommendation from me, but I do like the cast.

Oh my. One of the worst Hallmark movies ever. I could not make it past the 20 minutes mark. The lead actress with the immovable toiletpaper roll hair that she wears even when working on shoes.

There are so many good actors out there that Hallmark can employ.

Actors in the same league as Kimberley Sustad, Joy Lentz, Wes Brown, Warren Christie, Rachel Skarsten.

Why on earth would they use people who clearly have zero acting skills.

And the story line is so weak and boring.

A complete waste of time. There is zero chemistry between the main characters.

This movie is a complete fail...........

Addi (Rebecca Dalton) dreams of becoming a shoe designer. She gets an opportunity to get her foot in the door when she lands a job as an Assistant to a very demanding footwear icon. Her family doesn't understand the demands of her new job, and why she doesn't have time to help with her Father's shoe repair business, they are upset she can't attend family events (boohoo) She gets help and encouragement from the charming PR guru, Austin (Olivier Renaud) who has his own dreams and aspirations. (The storyline starts out very similar to the Hallmark movie, LOVE ON THE SIDELINES, an Assistant who starts out making mistakes in her job and the demanding boss is getting upset and angry. In both movies, the lead character suddenly becomes proficient in her duties and impresses the boss and others). Drama is added as the footware business is threatened to be bought by a rival company unless they succeed in creating new designs and getting lots of sales in the next fashion show. There is a mishap and misunderstanding which creates a potential disaster (usual Hallmark stuff). The plot could have been wrapped up in 30 minutes but instead drags on and on, very repetitive. There is no chemistry between Addi and Austin, their relationship is more like that of coworkers. The ending is very predictable. Just one big BORING movie! Come on Hallmark please find better writers and get someone that does better in casting the lead rolls so we see some actual chemistry, and the romance is getting less and less in your latest movies.
