Tudo por Amor

Erica Christensen as Katherine and Paul Greene as Jack Cooper were incredible together, the chemistry really works. This is first movie I have seen with Erica Christensen in it but Paul Greene always shines.

This plot was interesting it moved along at a brisk pace. The music did not overpower the movie.

No complaints here, everything was good. Roxie the dog did a great job too, her character development was spot on, great job of portraying a dog Roxie.

My advice: I highly recommend this movie,

8.2 stars.

A female CEO is tired of being in a mediocre relationship with a shallow rich man, and her assistant persuades her to try online dating. A male nurse is likewise tired of his desolate love life and he joins the same dating site. They are matched, however it's under false pretenses as both are feigning to be someone else. Is this couple doomed before they meet?

This is an adventure of two people from different worlds forming an unlikely connection and having a strong mutual attraction. It's a bumpy road and some powerful people are working to sabotage them at every opportunity. Now that they are falling in love, will their relationship be stopped dead in its tracks, or are they destined to be together forever?

This is a wonderful and immensely enjoyable love story between two appealing actors. The chemistry is out of this world, and there is nothing we desire more than for them to be the right fit for each other. "Anything for Love" is a must see romance start to finish, and there is not a dull moment.

This is on my yearly watchlist, although at this point my list is becoming too long.

On the most part, while uneven, the 2016 Countdown to Valentine's Day Hallmark batch was not bad at all. 'Dater's Handbook' was the only real misfire, with 'Valentine Ever After' being particularly good. The premise for 'Anything for Love' didn't really sound that promising, actually it sounded dumb and unrealistic, but still it anyway as a Hallmark completest who saw plenty of good and more 2016 Hallmark films and who likes Paul Greene in most of his work.

'Anything for Love' was not bad at all and actually quite enjoyed it. It is far from perfect and doesn't completely avoid the traps that the premise had, but it surprisingly did not turn out as over silly and unrealistic as it sounded on paper. As far as the 2016 Countdown to Valentine's Day films go, it is not on the same level as 'Valentine Ever After' but it is infinitely better than 'Dater's Handbook' (not that that is particularly hard, a film would have to be near irredeemable to be worse than that).

There are things that don't quite come off. The story is admittedly often very silly and some serious suspension of disbelief is needed. Especially in the contrived final act, where a lot of awkward and forced dialogue can be heard and where some characters are at their most frustrating in their vague and rash decision making.

Did find a few characters annoying and less than subtly played, particularly Reggie, and the ending was unpleasantly syrupy and far too neat (undeserved too). The story can be very predictable and can drag at times.

However, the acting is fine on the whole with very appealing performances from both Greene, amiable and subtly charismatic as ever, and Erika Christensen who isn't robotic or affected. Their characters aren't too perfect or have overblown flaws, and their chemistry is genuine and sweet while not exactly on fire. It is well filmed with lovely scenery, while the music isn't too constant or over-scored.

Enough of the writing is fun and light-hearted as well as charming and heartfelt. The story is very flawed, but doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't treat the subject as too much of a joke. Did appreciate how it covered some very relevant and important issues, not many Hallmark films tackle prejudice/discrimination but 'Anything for Love' does and more than decently.

Concluding, decent if unexceptional. 6/10.

In Chicago, Katherine Benson (Erika Christensen) is a driven CEO of a successful family property developer company. Everybody is concerned about her dating life. She has been nominally dating Charles Hodges but she figures that he wants to take over the company from her and her father. Jack Cooper (Paul Greene) is a charming honest guy. He's happy to be a nurse but all the girls look down on his job. Kate gets pushed into internet dating by her assistant and switching profiles with her. Jack decides to do the same but his immoral friend changes his profile. They fall for each other but the lies are inevitably uncovered.

It's Hallmark. The leads are beautiful. They would make beautiful babies. The premise comes out of some sort of sitcom misunderstanding and awkward lies. It's not the best. It would help if Kate isn't dating that jerk. At the very least, she needs to break up with him. The attitude about male nurses seems very outdated and oddly universal. Once the father goes to the hospital, there is no reason to not tell the truth except it is needed for story construction reasons. The best friend Reggie Le Duca is annoying and Debbie is completely out of his league. The obvious move is for him to lie about his job and Debbie falls for it. The movie doesn't do that and I hate it even more for it. It could have tied into the original premise. The premise is problematic for many reasons, mostly since either person could have told the truth at any time. His reasoning after discovering the truth is problematic as well. It's all a little problematic although I do like the two lead actors. There are surprisingly deep moments like Kate accidentally sideswipes Debbie with a comment. Even that scene could have done more. Despite liking the actors and the characters, there is lots that need some massaging.

This is a good movie more on that later. My nitpick is not with the movie but some of the reviews that say being a nurse is nothing to he ashamed of and at no point is he ashamed of being a nurse. His friend is the one who lied which fed the plot.

The point in the movie is that women given a choice prefer a doctor who makes at least 5 times what a nurse makes there is a scene with a balding doctor with giggling women to show the point. And men generally prefer women who are below them financially and work wise so she plays down her abilities. Or they use them to climb the social and corporate ladder

Now the movie it's hallmark acting and plot are ok and reasonably predictable they however make you feel good. Plot points errors etc get over it, these are fictional stories don't over analyse just enjoy.
