Love, Classified

Surprised in a good way. The writers have managed to introduce a very sweet, yet a very relatable feel good story here. They 100% chose the right actresses to breathe life into the characters and bring the story across,and succeeded in portraying the fact that Love has a unexpected way of finding you when you least expect it regardless of gender.

Loved the fast paced modern storyline. The connections become apparent as the movie proceeds to tell the character's stories. It didn't flow well at certain spots in the story when it just jumped ahead in time, but overall I thought the story was well written. Love and family relationships are always complicated and this movie addresses these aspects in a unique manner.

I nearly gave up on this in the first few minutes with gen z and ads thing as it was quite annoying, however this evolved into a refreshing story and film.

I loved the development of the storyline with the mother, from the normal shallow character, she showed hidden depths to her personality and the actor played it with a fluff and lightness, not dwelling too much on the health issues.

The two romantic leads showed chemistry and it was a nice, gentle approach to their romance. Both actors certainly have a future! I loved the supporting cast, although it is quite sad to see one of the two previously Hallmark lead males only doing a cameo as a barman. Older women watch this too. The mother/old friend romantic story was lovely to see. Overall, a well balanced and written film, which will appeal to all ages.

This movie is trying way too hard to be cool or relevant or Gen z friendly...it failed, miserably. Only got about 10 mins in and I gave up from boredom and sore eyes from all the eye rolling. The characters had no good lines, you aren't at all invested, the plot was muddy and confusing, the acting was under and over played by different characters. Hot mess. Skip it!

I've been binging several hallmark romances since the Covid lockdown started. A majority are, in my opinion, formulaic. Love, Classifieds is the first one that I've seen that is seems real. Less restrained, spontaneous, not-so-perfect-&-shiny. To me it's a refreshing take. Even this movie makes a statement about that. Love is unpredictable, murky, imperfect & real. So much more rewarding. Loved this movie! Highly recommend!

NOTE: Would love it if they made it a series. Just saying...
