His & Hers

6.6 stars.

This movie does not feel like a Hallmark movie. The music, the interactions, the storyline, everything is different. The romance does not exist, it's a movie about a married couple. They are both hotshot lawyers in New York City. They work at different law firms. They happen to land the same case on opposite sides. This particular case might be what causes their marriage to fall apart. That's the premise.

As the case continues and things get heated, they begin to see reasons why their marriage might not be as pristine as they thought. They are both secretive and uncharacteristically evasive with each other more and more. They are both under pressure by their superiors to win the case. But someone has to lose.

The leads always have great chemistry, but it's difficult to see past this strange storyline to enjoy their quirky and familiar interactions.

Lawyers Mark (Brennan Elliott) and Dana (Lacey Chabert) are the perfect married couple until they find themselves on opposite sides of a highly public divorce case involving a warring reality show couple. The couple's clients, are combative, materialistic egomaniacs who make unreasonable demands on their lawyers. The stress impacts the happily married lawyer couple, and to help keep the viewer awake from all the boring dialogue, another element is added, Mark starts pressuring Dana that it's time to have a baby. All the tension impacts the couples happy marriage. Instead of an intriguing fun movie in the vein of ADAM'S RIB, the viewer is just plain BORED as the movie DRAGS on and on as the viewer anxiously waits for this movie to JUST COME TO AN EXPECTED END!

Sort of a knock off of Adam's Rib but alas not as good. Husband and wife lawyers represent dueling sides in a highly publicized divorce case. I am in the minority of Hallmark Movie fans in that I do not love Lacey Chalbert and have no investment in the perpetual coupling with Brennan Elliott. The dialogue is sappy (who would say "sustained" when toasting their anniversary? Or refer to anything in their personal life as "on the docket"?). The plot runs the predictable course - workaholic couple rediscovers their true love through trials and tribulation. It made me long for the snappy dialogue and quality acting of Adam's Rib. Is it watcheable? Yes. It is good. No.

It's not the best movie that Lacey has ever done, but I wouldn't watch it again. It was very boring at times and predictable. Halfway through it was just something on in the background while I was on my phone. I hope the next few fall movies are better.

The chemistry just wasn't there this time between Lacey and Brennan. They were great in the All of my Heart movies. I'd watch those again over this. It's almost like this movie wasn't taking itself seriously. I think being married and also lawyers wasn't the best idea. I could see one of them being a lawyer and the other one supporting them. But, yeah, not for me.

I generally love Lacey and Brennan, but the two other divorcing characters made this unwatchable. They were too cartoonish and ridiculous.

And pushing to have a baby? I know couples are having babies at older ages, but Lacey is 42, Brennan is 49, so the baby issue didn't ring true. Viewers can tell how old these people are, stop trying to make us believe a 40+ actors is 30.

I realize Reality Stars may be over the top in their personalities, but the two in this movie farcical and bore no resemblance to real people.

Hallmark needs to use younger actors if part of the plot is about having children. Nothing about this movie was entertaining, and I couldn't make it to the end.
