    One of the better ones

    Much better than the majority of similar movies. Good pacing, not a lot of irrelevant padding or unnecessary conflict, a couple of laugh-out-loud moments, good chemistry between the two leads.

    A lot of these made-for-TV romantic not-quite-comedies-because-they're-not-very-funny have the same build-up. The familiar formula is here but the build-up is a little different, it's got a slower burn with a lot more not-realizing-they-have-feelings-for-each-other-yet, which I prefer.

    Blah, boring, etc

    This was barely ok. It just wasn't interesting or in depth at all. Everything was predictable (though improbable). The writers really need to work on their scripting.

    Dumb

    Couldn't even watch 15 minutes of it. Just dumb ...

    Clever idea for a movie, Hallmark! It was great! Solid 8 Stars!!

    This is now at the top of my most loved Hallmark flicks. Hot lead actress and a very wonderful total makeover for a sexy image lead actor. Awesome acting as well! Pete has gorgeous eyes! They would make a cute couple! This movie deserves a higher rating! I adored it very much! Hallmark lovers, rate these movies if you like or loved them! They deserve your take! And IMDb is an awesome website for movie lovers, like myself.

    Absolutely Loved It!!

    I recorded this and deleted it without watching because of the bad rating and reviews. It came on Hallmark Channel again and thought I give it a shot. Wow am I glad I did!

    Both lead actors had great chemistry and charm and it came through on the screen. I adored the character Pete!

    There were a few times I laughed out loud. Honestly, if you think you're getting an Oscar worthy movie from Hallmark, you should know better. I suspect people who gave this bad reviews are not fans of this type of movie.

    Those who do enjoy Hallmark movies, I promise you that you will love Fixing Pete. Honestly, I think it was much better than the recent movies Campfire Kiss and Love at First Glance.

    Give this movie a try.
