Amor Não Tem Idade

Campbell and Boston always are great but the over use of puns made the characters rather ridiculous and one wishing to fast forward through the dialogue, especially the wine tasting event and backyard family BBQ. Loved the restaurant first blind date scene. Now that was good.

Maggie Delaney (Rachel Boston) is a divorcee and a "single mother" of two. She has not been on a date in twenty years, but she decides to try dating when she sees her widowed mother and her teenage daughter dating. Everyone, it seems, is sticking a toe into the dating pool with little real-life experience. Maggie's nervousness is abated somewhat when a friend, Michael Taylor (Paul Campbell), suggests that they go on pretend dates and critique each other's game.

Hallmark romance fans can see where this is going already, which is fine. There is plenty of humor in this story about the three generations. The relationship between Maggie and Michael is fairly comedic, as they tease each other and share jokes. The writing is good, yielding dialogue that is fun and upbeat.

Rachel Boston is the keystone of the film, providing a cheerfulness that does not flag, even when her character deals with things that annoy her. There may not be a lot of depth in this story, but it is enjoyable.

Loved the actors. The movie was cute and funny. Some reviewers complained about the puns and corny jokes, but they were part of movie's story line and helped make the movie funny. Highly recommend.

Let me say that I love The Hallmark Channel and I really liked the actors in this one.... BUT. The main characters with the exception of the grandmother are completely clueless. I found myself wanting to slap both Maggie and Emma. The amount of atrocious behavior they both put up with from their love interests was just unrealistic. Any normal person would have told these men to bugger off. Hallmark romance movies are typically written to include the big misunderstanding and when there's about 3 minutes left in the movie, it's everyone gets their happily ever after but this one was completely dragged on and just not believable. Michael and John's character were way too tolerant. No man would stick around if the women they're interested in acted this clueless. If I had to sum this movie up in one word, it would be LAME.

I love both Rachel Boston and Paul Campbell, they are the best thing about this film. Their banter and silly puns somehow work because of their chemistry and charm.

This is the story of three generations of Delaneys, who are at very different places in their lives...but all are "starting to date". Maggie Delaney is at the heart of this story as a divorcee who is finally ready to dip her toe into the dating pool and her friend Michael Taylor is happy to help her "practice" her dating skills. Maggie's daughter is chasing after a high school boy who doesn't seem interested, while the new kid in her class seems to only have eyes for her. Finally Maggie's mom brings in a surprise for her daughter as she has a new man in her life as well.

Must love corny puns to truly appreciate this romance that is heavy on baking and support.
