One True Loves

My wife read the book and made me watch this, and it's simply this. If you love Hallmark movies, you'll love this. Otherwise it's nothing special.

The chemistry between the characters feels like a forced C- effort. The husband gives the best performance but even that feels almost like overacting in comparison.

It's a simple plot, a girl needs to choose between two serious relationship options and there's a very predictable flow from then on out. You're not worried about her bc she's in a win/win either way. You feel sorry (I guess) for the two suitors.

I won't watch this again, unless someone really wants to see this; Id avoid it. My wife said there were some big deviations from the book, but I wasn't interested enough to ask what they were.

This was quite good. Not a wrong note. Every technical aspect done well. I wanted to know more about the helicopter adventure, just for fun and to make the overall story more real. No problem, though, as this is a story about love and what can happen in unusual circumstances. Every character rings right. This happy movie also isn't afraid to poke fun at itself at times. The humor also, is about love. I felt involved in the story enough to be really concerned about how the characters could deal with the difficult dilemma that is the plot. Not at liberty to reveal much. Suspense builds toward the end, especially for those of us who don't watch movies like this much. Recommended.

1 out of 5 stars.

One True Loves is a horrible romantic comedy drama film which follows a young woman which she thought she loses her husband in an accident. Moves on with her best friend and gets engaged. Until her husband comes back and she faces the dilemna of being in love with both of them.

The plot is eh. The acting is flat out bad. The script and direction is cringy and dumb. It is boring. The film gets dumb as the characters discuss there love for each other. While other is regretting life choices. Its very cliche. Predictable. And definitely a film that is worth skipping. It was just horrible all around.

The opening scene was great but it was downhill from there. I can't believe I paid for it. First of all the acting was awful and these are all very good actors. Low energy was what i called it. Like they were either in between better gigs are not really into the job. It came across. The music was terrible and didn't fit the type of movie. I think it was a drama but the music was for a kids movie. The actual cinematography was bad. The scene splices were pure lifetime movie. And the decorating was awful. They tossed in fake fall foliage here and there to make it seem like fall but trees change colors not bushes. Overall a total waste of time. Save your money or wait until it comes on lifetime and you have nothing better to do.

I can easily say that the book was one of my favorite standalone books of 2022. And the saying the book is always better stands too true for this one. So a warning that my review is my opinion and is written as someone who adored the book.

The book catches you in the feels and makes you laugh, cry, and feel literally everything. You get deep character development and you see the story as a whole, the book flows well so that you have a complete understanding of what is going on at all times.

The movie did not do that. It was made too Romcom feel and took all the serious heart felt parts from the book and sort of butchered it so that we saw less and felt almost nothing. They condensed this so much it felt completely rushed the entire time and the flashbacks did nothing to help the frantic feel of the movie. It just felt goofy the whole time. I wanted that heartbreak and emotion from the book.

The Maine portion of the book had so much impact on the story yet in the movie it fell so, so flat and cringe. We didn't see any character development at all like we do in the book, that helped ua understand WHY they fell apart.

The actors had no chemistry at all. The acting was cringe, as well. It just never felt right to me. The actors look great for the parts but their acting didn't do them justice at all. I'm just disappointed in how this turned out, overall. It should have been longer and it should have been less Romcom feel, in my opinion.
