Coup de foudre en talons aiguilles

I enjoyed this movie, I thought the main characters had great chemistry. Weird hair/wig on the female lead and I did get tired of hearing the word "Scottsdale". I enjoyed this movie more than the recent flops that Hallmark has aired.

Looking over other people's reviews it appears this movie was either a total hit or total miss - not many middle-of-the-road folks. While I won't say it's the best Hallmark movie I've ever seen (and I've seen pretty much all of them), I definitely agree more with those who really liked this one. For one thing, it's very refreshing to have new people playing the leads - I may like Danica and Lacey, Lori and Alisha, seeing them in SO many HM movies is making it harder to really buy their characters and get into the story. And I found both Graham and Sampson to be funny, believable, charmingly awkward but not to the point where I'm cringing, and likable. The storyline was at least somewhat different from the usual as well, so even if you know what the ending will be, you aren't exactly sure how they'll bring it about. I liked the supporting cast as well, and appreciated her relationship with her mom. The only part I found really unbelievable was Lauren's assistant - Paige I think? She didn't seem knowledgable or confident enough to be anywhere near ready to take over for Lauren. Overall, an enjoyable movie that I'd recommend.

Was very mixed on the 2020 Spring Fling Hallmark films, with them ranging between mediocre and pretty good. Of the previous two, 'Just My Type' was enjoyable whereas 'You're Bacon Me Crazy' was rather average. The title for 'Fashionably Yours' was a curious one and when reading the synopsis it seemed like there was a mismatch between title and synopsis. While the 2020 Hallmark in general were very variable, there were some pretty good and more ones.

'Fashionably Yours' for me was not one of those pretty good and more ones. There are certainly far worse Hallmark films from that year, but this was one of the films that left me mixed and being unsure how to rate and review it. 'Fashionably Yours' is far from terrible and is a tolerable effort, with some good if not outstanding things. It is also one of the 2020 Hallmark films that is not particularly good and could have been better. It also could have done more with the setting.

As said, there are certainly good things. Most of the production values are fine, the scenery was often eye catching with Hallmark regardless of any authenticity and it is here. The music didn't feel too constant or overdone, serving its purpose well with nothing offensive if not much distinctive.

Kat Graham is a delight, she radiates cheerful joy and is so charming. She does have some nice playful chemistry with Kendrick Sampson, despite not being as taken with his performance. Did like the light-hearted banter.

However, 'Fashionably Yours' could have been better. Sampson too often comes over as too stiff and his line delivery sounded on the muffled side. The supporting cast are merely competent but nobody stands out or are memorable. There could have been a lot more development to the characters, who are stock stereotypes and not much here (the only one developed that well is Graham's). The editing agreed did seem on the choppy side.

The direction is again competent if undistinguished and merely functional. Other than the banter, the dialogue could have flowed a lot more naturally and there could have been less of it perhaps. The story is pretty weak, the predictability factor is high throughout despite a few differences from the formula and moves at too slow a pace. With it taking a while to get to the point. The final act is on the contrived and too tidy side, not uncommon with Hallmark.

Overall, tolerable if pretty average. 5/10.

This Hallmark movie is definitely better than most of the fair in this genre. The two main characters are adorable and definitely have great chemistry.

I'm thankful that Hallmark is starting to add diversity to their programming. I've never seen either actors in anything before, but I really like Kat. The male lead, Kendrick, seemed like he couldn't stop smiling or laughing during the whole movie. It was hard to take him serious. Hopefully, he was just having a good time filming the movie. The beginning was a little rough but the ending wasn't bad at all! The storyline was a bit better than most Hallmark movies. I loved the Seattle scenery. I probably wouldn't watch this movie again on purpose, but if I happen to catch it on while flipping through the channels, I'd leave it on :)
