Qui veut épouser Marco?

This one was soo funny, I liked, that the main heroine was a little sarcastic and not the usual Hallmark darling that pleases everybody. Also liked the plotline and the scenery. Not the greatest movie of all time, but definitely worth watching at least once.

First, the litany of bad reviews typical of HM movies I believe are from dudes who's wives made them watch the movie out of desperation. Mainly because they can turn on Fast and Furious 18 without thinking about but haven't turned on their wife in ages.

Love, for Real was fun because it wavered slightly from the formula and it was shot on location with beautiful visuals. It was also written with wit, humor, and some good dialogue.

The two female leads were adorable, but it was Chloe Bridges that was somehow allowed to act outside of the HM norm and played a real person that you might actually know or meet in real life. She balanced a tough exterior and a vulnerable side with real people flaws that made you root for her all the way. She had good chemistry with the male lead and her best friend, I'd like to see her in more movies.

Snappy dialogue timing, unusual lead, good secondary actors, so even with the usual story quite entertaining.

Maybe the people who dislike this so much are fans of dating shows and hate having their bubbles burst? I haven't been a fan so i thought the movie was pretty good. Did not like the lead actress - yes, her voice was rough but more, it lacked inflection. I had to watch her face to tell what her character was feeling, which was difficult since her default expression is a scowl. But the witty script and co-stars balanced it out to bring it above the hallmark average.

The movie is fine for what it is, but I couldn't get past how much Chloe Bridges reminded me of Anne Hathaway. Nothing against her, but it was very off putting.
