Déclic amoureux

Struggling photographer, Lindsey, is hired for short notice wedding for a rich and famous family. The wedding planner hates her because apparently her talent is only average. The brides brother has an ex who manages to cause some trouble for Lindsey. Lindsey is now playing in the big leagues and she's in over her head. Money and power are hard to beat. But stick with the movie, the second half is more enjoyable than the first.

I have loved Emily Tennant in supporting roles and once wrote that I'd like to see her in a lead. Unfortunately her character isn't always appealing in this one. Lindsey's character is timid, indecisive, and lacks confidence.

This movie falls into the trap that some others do - it tried to do too much and the central romance suffered. There was barely enough screen time for any chemistry between Tennant and Tyler Johnston. At times it seems like the central focus of the movie is the Lindsey vs Bower-Smyth relationship. There certainly wasn't enough interaction between Josh and Lindsey to justify their actions later in the movie.

The dialog is flat. The overall acting is fair. The story wanders. There are some gags that are supposed to be funny, but they weren't for me.

On the positive side, the climax has a bit of a twist and continues strong to the end.

Some irrelevant observations: 1) Tennant plays a terrible photographer. She stands in one place and just takes the same shots. But she does keep both eyes open. 2) Finally a rom/com that shows at least a slight understanding of astronomy. Almost all of the others show the characters sitting in the middle of blinding lights and often looking through telescopes at large constellations or meteors. But they blow it in the golf course scene. Her camera is pointed about 10 degrees below horizontal to photo the meteors in the sky about the distant trees.

Considering the genre, you have to enjoy it for what it is.

Unfortunately it becomes very clear but not very fast that this movie was made at a time when human contact was limited.

So what follows re numerous awkward interacions between several characters.

Clearly there was some urgency to get this film out post hast but it's a real shame hat the producers didn't just sequester everyone so they coul at least speak naturally to each other.

Despite that though, there are a lot moment where you find yourself smiling about.

Also, there are some small twists from the cliche which will pleasantly surprise you.

I'd say still worth the watch - perhaps ignore that the actors are most likely wearing their own clothes.

Despite a charismatic lead in Emily Tenant, there just wasn't enough content or supporting cast to make it a winner.

I absolutely felt the same as a few other recent comments I just saw... It seemed as if it could have really been pretty good. Emily Tenant is definitely a talent and with watching, but she can't carry the entire thing by herself.

The content/script was shy, and there could definitely been some better delivery on what decent content did exist.

Still it it was enjoyed, but likely not one I'd choose to watch a second time.

Emily Tenant is an 8 here, the rest of the movie gets a 5... Overall, a 6.

The type of movie that I enjoy. Sweet, and not much drama, just enough to keep it interesting. No back stabbing, no second guessing, just a clean and family friendly film. Enjoyed it a lot.

This movie could have been a fun, cute film to watch. It ended up being painful to watch. The actors were stiff, and no one ever touched each other except the main couple at the end. Even the wedding couple never touched each other until they did a photo of them holding hands once but even after that they never touched.

The so-called villain, The wedding planner, seem to soften up a little bit but you really didn't care if she got nice or not. The movie was boring by the time she did and as of here you didn't really care.

The only beautiful part of the movie was the house where they filmed the wedding. The photography and gardens were beautiful.
