A Paris Proposal

The uncomfortable plot really doesn't suit Paris - if the leads had simply been straightforward colleagues that fell in love whilst interviewing couples at romantic locations for the ad campaign, it would have made better use of the city. Instead the frequent bickering and stressful interactions the two have with each other and secondary characters, is just irritating and spoils memories of the place for those of us who've been. It doesn't make me want to go again, and nor see this production through, and definitely not rewatch. It's a missed opportunity really, as there could have been a great movie produced with this team if the script had been more uplifting.

Hallmark movies that are shot on location are always the best kind, and 'A Paris Proposal' is better than it would otherwise have been thanks to it being shot in the City of Lights rather than somewhere in British Columbia that is standing in for Paris.

I'm not a huge fan of movies where the plot revolved around a fake relationship. They usually aren't done all that well. This is an exception.

Stars Alexa PenaVega and Nicholas Bishop do a good job with a decent script as advertising agency colleagues who are in Paris to land a big contract with a Parisian jeweller. One thing leads to another...and they're suddenly telling everyone they're married.

Truth be told: I didn't think I was going to enjoy this film very much, because of the plot, but I watched it for the authentic Paris setting and the movie grew on me after a while and I actually did enjoy it. The chemistry between PenaVega and Bishop shines through after some early adversarial moments between them.

All of that said, Paris is the real star of this show.

I was so looking forward to this movie. I really like Alexa PenaVega and the movie was filmed in Paris. Beautiful city and great food.

The movie is about two advertising people trying to get a major France jewelry account and accidentally pose as a married couple. The ads looked funny, but although the one-liners were cute, there was no chemistry between the actors.

I watched for half the movie and gave up. The characters were sooo boring, the story was sooo boring, no chemistry and I just couldn't keep any interest. Terribly disappointed. Total Meh movie.

Hopefully Hallmark starts doing better movies for Alexa PenaVega.

I'm amazed because most people have same types of people getting together but recently we can see people who are so different from eachother and even though there's difference in their characters they still like and love eachother and okay with eachother...this movie is all about love and opposite characters falling in love with eachother and screen presence of these actors and actresses are so real and it's like we're seeing from the couples pov . Other actors and actresses did so well...that boss lady for this main couple...she did so well and we support black women acting and Awesome movie.

I'm glad I didn't listen to the other snarky reviewer who hated this movie. I absolutely loved this movie. Lately, many of the Hallmark movies seem to have cookie-cutter plots (and I still like those most of the time), but this was fresh. The actors had great chemistry, the music fit the movie very well (I kept Shazaming the songs... they will make a great Parisian playlist), and the scenery in Paris was amazing. I'm sure I'll watch it again soon, I liked it that much! Was it perfect? Of course not, what movie is. But for Hallmark, this was one of their best yet! If you enjoy music, romance, and beautiful scenery, you'll love it! It reminded me of an old fashioned romance.
