Head Over Heels

This movie is boring slow moving and very obviously a poor redo on the high fashion mean girl world of New York

If fashion is so mean as these movie seem to show why would anyone want to go there.

It is a very Hallmark formula film which usually doesn't bother me but this is really to slow moving and disorganized story line.

The main character of course is a young and plucky woman but she has a book full of shoe designs that no one sees. There is the hunky young guy who is trying to help her and break free from his over involved father that controls his life.

It just all feels stale and been there done that.

Oh my. One of the worst Hallmark movies ever. I could not make it past the 20 minutes mark. The lead actress with the immovable toiletpaper roll hair that she wears even when working on shoes.

There are so many good actors out there that Hallmark can employ.

Actors in the same league as Kimberley Sustad, Joy Lentz, Wes Brown, Warren Christie, Rachel Skarsten.

Why on earth would they use people who clearly have zero acting skills.

And the story line is so weak and boring.

A complete waste of time. There is zero chemistry between the main characters.

This movie is a complete fail...........

Addison Connors (Rebecca Dalton) works at her father's shoe repair shop. She suddenly gets a chance at her dream job as the assistant to shoe designer Delaney Diaz (Alexandra Castillo) who has a reputation for being a horrible boss. Right away, she impresses Austin Strickland (Olivier Renaud) who seems to have pull with Delaney.

It's a Hallmark movie doing a version of Devil wears Prada except Addie is actually trying. There is no way that this could match its superior. It doesn't help that the comparison is always at the top of mind. Now, I don't know anything about lady's shoes, but nothing really excites me about her designs. To be fair, the premise is that Delaney has been on the decline. A lot of this seems like the worst kind of sitcom writing. Addie is dumb at the worst times. I'm not happy with any of these characters in this movie. I'm not sure why Claudia shows up and does that. I'm not sure about anything in this movie.

7.7 stars.

How many times is this woman going to mess up? She has always wanted to be in the shoe design industry, and this is her chance.

She gets hired as an assistant for one of the leading shoe designers in New York City. This is very much like the Devil wears Prada, the boss is just like Streep. This assistant has the gift of fashion in shoe design. It's a copycat with obviously a much lower budget.

So what do I think this movie? Well, it's actually not too bad. The male co-worker, leading man is a very suave sort, but I like his character; he is smooth and quite charismatic. The lead female is very pretty, but her character is so inept. She makes so many dumb mistakes. I don't know why she decided to do this job after she majorly screws up twice. If I were the Streep counterpart, I would've fired her immediately. I don't care how good her style is.

It's predictable, but I still enjoyed it for the leads and their screen presence and chemistry and the Fahey wannabe.

Rebecca Dalton (Addi) and Olivier Renaud (Austin) are both lovely and while I liked them, something about this Hallmark romance didn't hit with me. The concept was decent...but things like the Jekyll and Hyde boss and the ridiculous men's shoe fashions were ridiculous. And can I say how wasteful it is to trash all of those shoes?

It seemed a bit ridiculous for Addi to go from repairing shoes, to assistant to the owner/designer, to designing her own line of shoes. I also was pretty confused about the respecting the importance of family, yet not having a good work life balance.

The story starts with Addi working in her father's shoe repair shop with him and her sister...but dreaming of being a shoe designer. She ends up getting an entry level position for her favorite designer's company, which works almost immediately into a job as the designer's personal assistant. She meets the designer's nephew, Austin, who does or for her company. The romance is between Addi and Austin...but not without a lot of nonsense in between.

Not really a recommendation from me, but I do like the cast.
