If you like corny romcoms you might enjoy this, if you're looking for a deep good story or good comedy, search elsewhere.

Film quality and acting was very good. Not a low-budget movie. Secondary stories are engaging with good actors/actresses as well. A feel-good movie that doesn't fail.
As is typical with PixL movies, this has a lot more going on than the typical Hallmark. In this one we have 3 romances: Small (the dad and his housekeeper), medium (the black sidekick) and Large. Large being the main story of a spoiled entitled rich boy who falls for a hardworking EMT with her eye on medical school. Because of the juggling of 3 plot-lines, plus the getting into Medical school story, this story percolates along at quite a good pace and kept my interest. I must say this 2017 story was a bit ahead of its time. The worthy EMT was denied a place in med school once because she was jumped over by someone way down the waiting list because of his/her large donation to the school. She is understandably bitter about that. This plot point provides the conflict when she thinks rich boy did the same for her. it's a good thing Hallmark didn't make this one with their one time regular Lori Loughlin as a cast member.

I don't recommend this movie, rich boy falls in love with a "Regular" girl who doesn't want his money because she works for every penny she has. Bla bla life is difficult for everyone, help Im in love but I don't wanna be in love!! Whatever, horrible acting skills, from the roommate who is always right where you left her to ask you how you're doing, her bf who's really bad at acting busy, the work partner who is an idiot but ends up giving the best advice, to the rich guy who seems to have nothing better to do but think about this girl who rejected him (What! She said NO? how is it possible? Nobody ever says no to me because I'm rich, ugh. I just kept rolling my eyes throughout the whole movie, I would give it a 1, gave it a 3 for the effort. MOVIE SUCKS!!
I disagree with the reviews that said this was a boring movie. Those reviewers should not view Pixl movies, for they are all "old fashioned" with no swear words, no nudity, no sex, no murders. So, naturally this is a boring movie for some.
It is not often I watch a Pixl movie, but when I do it is because I want to watch a movie that will leave me calm and refreshed. This movie does just that. The two main actors come across so natural and lovable. I am pleased they consented to star in this simple, yet sweet production. Everything about this movie was nice, the photography, the co-stars and the directing. It was as good as any romantic Hallmark movie. If you like Hallmark, then you will like this movie.

My, when we were given to preview this film a on 3, March, 2017, we thought it was a HALLMARK film. Turn out to be a PixL Film. The film is OK, if you are 100 years old, and will be able to predict everything about the outcome. This film would have been a lot better if the people that created it would stop this boy / girl love story that has no mystery in it (if you're going to make a film like this, at least keep us guessing, as anyone with half-a-brain can see where the plot is going.. especially in this film!)
We sat and predicted everything that would happen in the film about 10
to 15 minutes into the plot.
The movie starts with many beautiful scenes of Los Angeles, and then goes into the man is dumb and the girl is smart routine which is the POPULAR these days (but sexist)- and goes into the boring old plot. We were surprised they did not include the Muscular woman beating up a guy - but this is a PG film with no violence which is a good thing. ... We liked the clean language and the non-violence that most films ignore today. We encourage film makers to make films more acceptable to all viewers -and profanity and so much violence should be curtailed.
There are 2 sub- plots entwined into the film, and where two men get on their knee giving out a ring (OMG, how boorish - this is 2017 not 1017)
Then the film goes into the rich handsome guy-falls in love with tough pretty girl routine. She rejects him, and then they get back together again after "forgiving" their ways. OK. It is just that this plot routine is getting too old, too boring, and far to predictable. Geez, Can't you producers and writers be more creative??? One of our associates, here at the WaltersJudsonGroup actually Fell Asleep half way into the movie!
Anyone giving this film "10 stars" has be employed by the studio, have brain damage, is on drugs, or has no education on film reviewing. Also, reviewers can be bought. 3 stars for effort, and clean language. DJT

I agree with those that found this a nice gentle film to watch. You don't watch Larry Levinson Productions if you want sex, thrills or anxiety inducing storylines.
I enjoyed this mainly because of the actors in the lead. Neither were shouty, hyperactive or screeching their delivery, unlike a lot of the Hallmark female stable of actors. The storyline was watchable, and living in the UK, we don't use the term 'it sucks', we generally say 'its rubbish', which this was not.

Why did I even think it was gonna be a good movie?
The soundtrack of the movie is catchy, but the script is feeble. The story is nothing new, in fact, the roommate's story is much more romantic, and that is what kept me through the movie.

The movie itself is predictable as many have suggested but that is hardly an issue when you watch it.
The actress is so beautiful, man! Those big eyes, smile and skin, you do not immediately fall in love with her in her uniform but when she wears something else, oh boy!
The locations in the film are also very beautiful, nice and sunny, it feels great to see such places. The emotions are good in the film and the cinematography is also great.
TV Movies are not for everyone. As one of the reviewer said, if you want dirty, curse word, sex, nudity movies, then do not come to Hallmark or PixL movies. Rather watch adult films.
Such movies are absolutely beautiful even if the story is predictable and there is nothing new but because there are no obscenities, it is worth a watch in today's world when everything just revolves around sex.
Must watch, you will fall in love with the actress by the end of the movie haha :)

Hallmark Drama just aired this movie under the name "The Big Grab." OMG - what a terrible movie. The acting was really bad. The storyline was silly. Come on! I've seen Ben Hollingsworth in much better movies. None of the other actors seemed familiar - maybe because they cannot act! I watched 45 minutes of it (on my DVR - so that's actual movie time) and fell asleep. It was soooi boring. No wonder I'd never seen it before - and I seldom miss a Hallmark movie ... could possibly be why they changed the name. People won't remember they watched it before.

That was very painful to watch.
The acting is so poor it did seem to be a school project. Plot was obvious, but so are most of romantic movies - the problem here is much deeper than an obvious plot.
Save yourself the time and skip this one.

The cast is likeable and attractive and should be familiar to some. Adelaide Kane of Reign is beautiful here. Nice to see her in modern clothes instead. Ben Hollingsworth plays a playboy who falls for a paramedic.
The playboy who finds the one who will set him on the straight and narrow isn't new but the story is cute without being annoying. The subplot about the friends is pretty obvious too.
Pixl movies generally use pretty and charismatic cast members, not like the occasional over the hill actors in Hallmark.
The requisite little drama near the end is handled in a less cliched manner than usual. For this type of movie better than average.

Such a refreshing plot and movie compared to typical Hallmark movies. I enjoyed this movie very much and wanted to see how it would end. Both stories of the best friends were good but I vote for the rich guy and EMT. The acting was good and I especially like the way the rich family was portrayed. I highly recommend this movie if you're tired of the same old Hallmark plots.
Can't Buy My Love is a super cute feel good movie about a hard working female paramedic named Lilly and a rich entitled guy named Jeff. Their meeting is pretty funny and original. Loved it!
The actors do a fine job and the supporting cast and storylines are not the average for this type of film. I really enjoyed the whole story, it was very fast paced and kept my interest. I would very Highly recommend this cute movie for all ages that want to see a clean, Family friendly movie with no more than a kiss, or holding hands, as the extent of what was shown between the two romantic leads Lilly and Jeff.

A well made film, with good actors who convey good feelings. Lilly a paramedic meets a rich and arrogant young man who parks in a no-parking. Lilly tries to make Ben think about moving the car, he doesn't want to know. Knowing the importance of the place during emergencies, she decides to notify the police who have the car removed. They meet again due to an emergency of Ben's father and from there the fight to win over Lilly arises because she snubbed him and refused the invitation to dinner after saving her father. Beautiful friendship between Lilly and Megan who comfort and advise each other to overcome the difficulties of life.
Thank you for sharing cried i it's a very beautiful story full of emotion love is this outlet that allows us to create our own bule in this ugly world Lili and Jeff no matter how much you live in two opposing worlds, love is that intense feeling that is there, which brings differences together. Fortunately Lilie you have listened to your heart, it is this part of ourselves that almost never lies to us. And yes, money does not buy everything in life. Just as we must not judge people from our first impression, the appearance is often very misleading. Life is short, everyone should enjoy it as intensively as possible. Long live love, long live the meeting of two tender hearts sharing beautiful feelings.
