All Things Valentine

While anyone could guess the entire plot within the first 5 minutes, there were a couple of twists and turns, and it was still fun to watch it unfold. I loved how Avery's hopeful and positive energy emanated to the people around her. I'm such a big believer in energies and this showed that example well.

This is one of the better Hallmark romantic movies. The two lead actors had great chemistry although subtle or underplayed at times. I enjoyed watching (subplot of characters notwithstanding) these two people fall in love. It was beautifully sweet and neither character were playing the "hard to get" or the "I refuse to let love in" tropes, which is a breath of fresh air for a romantic movie on Hallmark. However, the same can't be said for the subplot of characters, ugh. And lastly their conflict was pretty reasonable and even gave me pause in wondering how I would handle the situation. Overall one of my favorite Hallmark movies. Worth a watch.

Sarah Rafferty and Sam Page were excellent and very charismatic.

Good family film. Checks all the Hallmark boxes for great holiday film. Nothing really original in the plot category, but it manages to engage the viewer . A good job was done by all.

My advice: Watch the movie, it won't disappoint.

What's different about this Valentine's Day Hallmark movie is that it's a bit more serious - it definitely isn't too cute or perky. The two leads Sarah Rafferty from Suits and Sam Page are quite suited to each other. She reminds a bit of Amy Adams but a bit less sweet. She plays a blogger who starts dating a vet. Unknown to both they have been sparring online.

A message from the movie is what people write on anonymous blogs and on the internet can be unrepresentative of the people they are in real life. It's interesting to see how daringly outspoken people can be behind the shield of internet anonymity.

Interesting hallmark movie - not the most romantic but different.

The basic ideas behind Hallmark productions don't change, obviously. Though it has to be said that they have upped their game with this movie, the characters were far more believable and the acting was a lot better. A good romantic movie.
