At Midnight

Super cute classic romcom with a great supporting cast. It doesn't take itself too seriously which I loved a lot. The main actors were great and had great chemistry. I loved that it was bilingual and bicultural. It also gave a telenovela feel mixed with old Hollywood/Nora Ephron. I'm a huge romcom fan and this is definitely my favorite of 2023. Really great and cute and sweet and sexy. So fun to see Anders Holm in the movie (I'm a big workaholics fan). Give it a watch if your interested in something fun and cute. I'm giving it a 10 because it nailed its genre and it was well acted with super funny side characters.

Super hero movie star, Sophie Wilder, catches her co-star-boyfriend cheating on her and has to finish making their current film on location in Mexico. Her agent, in a true conflict of interest who represents both of them, convinces Sophie not to let anyone know that her and Adam have broken up until after the filming wraps.

Stressed, but trying to make the most of it Sophie meets the assistant manager of the hotel, Alejandro. The two develop feelings for each other that they both must hide.

Lots of Spanish language in this film...which I loved and a slow burn romance that seemed fairly healthy. I think open minded romantics will enjoy this film. There were several great supporting characters that brought both the comedy and some of the more serious topics to light (like Alejandro's family).

The big surprise for me was the actor playing Alejandro, Diego Boneta. He was wonderful and reminded me of a Latin Michael Bublé.

The acting of the 2 main characters were great! They had wonderful chemistry. It was a really cute, fun love story but yet comical at times too! Better than a Hallmark movie. The only thing I would have changed was the pretend movie the main character played in. Instead of Firefinia maybe something more realistic. At first I thought it might be a science fiction or marvel type movie but then I realized she was an actress playing an actress. I never heard of the 2 main stars but they were very good! The co stars were good too especially the main characters (female) best friend. I would definitely recommend it.

It was not Hallmark cringe but it was not remarkable either. I found that the storyline was too simple, like imagine you can skip whole parts of the film without missing anything. It lacked that special something. Also the thing between them, it all came together so fast. You couldn't tell when did they fell in love or what? Which is not good for a rom com. The actors were fine and the leads fitted. Not in a way that they would get you shipping them though. And that's also not good for a rom com. I wouldn't watch it again but go ahead and watch if you have a couple of hours to spare and want to relax.

If you're looking for a pleasant way to spend an hour and half and not tax your brain try this movie. It's definitely in the Hallmark mode and even has believable chemistry between the main leads. I especially like Monica Barbaro who has had roles on 2 shows I liked that were cancelled Splitting Up Together and Stumptown as well as some others. The supporting cast was good although I thought the agent was a bit cringeworthy. I liked the Spanish/English dialogue but I would've like subtitles in the English speaking parts. The setting was also quite lovely. However it felt Paramount definitely made a low budget movie compared to Netflix or Prime. Still as a whole I liked this movie and rated as a tv movie.
