Love on Trend

That was the Described Video you heard. Don't know why CityTv forced it on all of us fans of cheeseball cinema. You didn't enjoy knowing when someone looked at their coffee cup?

Lighting is not balanced throughout the film. Almost every scene renders some cast members into practically different people, especially Allie and Marie. Often I could not tell if I were looking at the same people. Some cast even seemed to gain and lose substantial amounts of weight from one scene to another, while beauty varied from common to exquisite.

Too bad: because despite starting with a near-impossible plot catalyst, the script and acting are actually quite good, the characters are interesting, and the action flow holds the attention.

The lighting quality did improve as the film progressed. I would watch it again.

Love on Trend 2021 - Nicholas Humphries.

Youthful, aspiring fashion designer Allie (Jocelyn Panton) meetcutes dashing tech guy Colin (Giles Panton) and tumultuously, her lofty career aspirations, and love palpitations coloufully intertwine as they discover they are tailor made for one other! Sadly, my terminal lack of interest in fashion remains wholly unmoved by Love on Trend, but Allie's amiable boss/chum Kendra (Amanda Wong)is a propah sweetie, and, unlike cold reality, in fuzzy Hallmarkland all of life's travails are amicably resolved in a suitably cutsey fashion. Real life married couple have a likeable screen chemistry, and their fictitious personas exude a palpable warmth.

The movie was kinda cute, but I found the narrative that kept up from the beginning all the way to the end extremely frustrating.

I kept pausing the movie trying to figure out how to turn it off.

I got so aggravated that I almost deleted the movie entirely from my tivo.

Then I found this review page and decided to take my frustrations out here.

I definitely did not enjoy someone telling me exactly what I was looking at.

I have no problem with my eyes which is why I wanted to WATCH a movie and not listen to it. Totally distracted from the movie like someone making too much noise in a theater and everyone shushing them.

This movie is quite original, but some cast members' lines became too quiet / unclear at times, so I tuned out on multiple scenes. I wish Reel One Entertainment and others would make more movies about over 40s as it would allow for a wider range of storylines, and viewers will grow out of these early career settings too quickly - I'm not gonna buy them because they don't have much rewatchability / longevity. The characters in this movie aren't particularly inspiring - but I do empathise a bit as they're just trying to make the best of a chaotic world like many of us. Not the best, but not the worst of the genre.
