Although it was a typical Real One production, I did like it.
Everyone knows you have to reign in your expectations with these thirteen in a dozen movies, but if you take them for what they are, without expecting a cinematic masterpiece, sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised.
This movie had one of the standard storylines we have seen many times over, but for me most of these stories hang or fall with the leads and their chemistry.
In this case that chemistry was there.
I am so glad they FINALLY gave Francesca Bianchi a lead role;
I've seen her as a supporting actress in a few movies and I was always stunned at how often she was smarter, funnier and more stunning than the leads of those movies.
Like I said, the story itself was nothing to write home about, but the two leads elevated the movie for me somewhat.
I hope Francesca will be cast in leads more often, she deserves more chances and better scripts to work with.
Real One is a mass producer of content, some movies are really bad, some more akin to a reasonable Hallmark movie, but never a masterpiece. But that seems to be their business model; have a library of movies in every price range so even smaller stations/businesses/channels can buy from them without breaking the bank.
