Innamorarsi a New York

This Hallmark romance takes place in New York City. Piper (Aimee Teegarden) moves from the Midwest to NYC to find herself. She doesn't know what career path to follow (though viewers can discern her eventual career immediately), so she temps at various jobs. When she meets her neighbor, Austin (Evan Roderick), things are not very cordial, but we know where this is going. Austin's dream is to write children's books, but he has put that option on a back burner.

The problem with this film is the script. The dialogue is stilted and unrealistic, particularly in the early going. If you can get past that, the rest of the story is endurable. Just don't expect any great plot twists.

I saw Aimee in My Christmas family tree and thought she was amazing. That was the first thing I had ever seen her in. So I was excited to watch her in this one, and I don't know what happened to her in this one, but from the first second that she was on the screen, she lost her likability. There was also zero chemistry with her costar. It's almost like the casting director was happy with her, so they did not worry about it even having tryouts for any of the other parts. I've only done this a couple of times but here I am halfway through the show writing a review for a show that I absolutely wish I had not wasting my time on.

Obviously romance writers are not expected to churn out "Citizen Kane," but couldn't they at least consult the dictionary? Worse than the fact that Roderick's character uses the term "hoi polloi" incorrectly (he uses it to refer to the rich, elite of society - but it means the rabble, the commoners), but no one corrected it. Does NO ONE on this production have a vocabulary? Or access to a dictionary. I wanted mindless entertainment, but...there are limits. Also, I agree with the reviewer that said the leads were mismatched - it bordered on a reverse "Lolita" - he didn't look old enough to drive, let alone drink, and while she's not old by any means, she looked ancient next to him. Creepy.

Piper is about to turn 30 and she wants to make her own path, figure out what she wants to do. So, she moves to NYC and tries a few different temp jobs. There she meets her handsome neigbour Austin, a wanna be writer whose mom insists follows her path.

It's realistic in a way that a 30 year old doesn't know what to do with life and also in a way in which a parent wants them to follow their same path. I kind of sympathise with both.

I thought Aimee was amazing and there was chemistry with Evan. I personally thought Evan's character Austin could show more excitement and a fun, silly scene was missing from this as well.

This is clearly not a Hallmark production even if it was shown there. I'm not sure if a few of the NYC shots were real but they looked like it (The Manhattan skyline and Washington Square Park). The streets certainly weren't and that's okay.

I had big expectations about this. It's definitely not a 10 but this tv film certainly delivers what's promised.

To be young in the city...Aimee Teegarden breathes life into this New York City romance that is equally about finding your calling.

Aimee plays Piper who is on the verge of turning thirty and has given herself that as a deadline to find her career or true calling. She bravely signs up at a New York temp agency and tells the agent to throw everything at her. She quickly meets her grumpy neighbor Austin, a wealthy quintessential New Yorker who is trying to buck the family reporting business of his famous reporter mother because he wants to write children's stories. Piper also meets another transplant to New York, Will and his romantic partner Toby, who own a corner coffee shop and bakery. Piper, Will and Toby become fast friends. Will and Toby seem to think that Piper and Austin would be good together and they set about doing a little matchmaking like a picnic in the park.

Great cast, fun working through career ideas and good chemistry between the leads. This is like a very sweet fall postcard to New York.

If you love New York, romance and the idea of finding yourself...you will enjoy this movie.
