Where Your Heart Belongs

The latest theme for rom/coms seems to be about influencers. So, take Mac as an influencer and put her into the role as a wedding planner for her best friend. Mac selfishly hijacks her best friend's "simple" wedding in order to save her career. Then she makes a lot of assumptions about her dad, his farm, and Dylan based on no facts and proceeds to insult everyone. All of this continues until so late in the movie, that as far as I'm concerned, anything she did to try to redeem herself was too little, too late. But wait! This is Hallmark. So, miracles happen.

I feel sorry for Dylan that he still loves this horrible woman. He should run far and fast in the other direction.

Is Nelson Wong always someone's assistant?

Either way, not a good portrayal this time.

Not a surprising plot, or ending, but definitely a less-than-stellar production.

Actually seemed like a waste of talent for a couple of usually watchable lead actors.

Movie was boring, most of acting was horrible, and proves how self absorbed influencers are. The quality of Hallmark movies is really going down hill.

I wanted to like this movie because I like the two leads but the story was soooo bland. I watched all of it which was painful but I was just hoping it would get better.

Unfortunately, it never did. These leads have to learn to turn down bad scripts and save us from these dumb storylines.

Somebody at Hallmark has forgotten that cinematography is a form of VISUAL Art in MOTION. The ACTION is supposed to provide real drama and offer the actors the canvas on which to create and project, with expressions and body language, emotions and feelings. When uninspired script writers, directors, and actors are unable to deliver the above, we get these shows with little meaningful action, filled with lengthy dialogs, where the characters tell the viewers what they are expected to believe, perceive, and absorb. Just because they could never get that otherwise. So, families and friends seem to have nothing better to think about, than spending time convincing the main characters they are great and made for each other, while, in reality, they come out as, more or less good looking, empty shells, with no clear merits or endearing qualities that could inspire respect, let alone love. And this, when they are not totally unlikable! In this specific movie, Mackenzie, hammed up by Jen Lilley, is a superficial, inconsiderate, self-centered young woman who creates her own silly dramas by mistreating friends and rushing to judgement. There is no chemistry with Dylan and God knows what reasons he should have to like her at all! Of course, we are supposed to believe it possible, because everybody else in the move tell us so. Absolutely nothing in the movie explain the predictable few-minutes ending.

Last year, Hallmark begun the winter season with a cute production, "Taking a shot at love", which was followed by an entire year of mostly vapid, very forgettable shows. This year they are off with a miserable start. I dread to think at what will follow. Hallmark has taken the road to B,C, an D movies, as in Boring, Cliche', and Disappointing or Dumb. Mass production means messy quality.
