The More Love Grows

The More Love Grows is a Hallmark-style romance movie that follows the story of a recently divorced woman who finds love with a new man. The movie is full of clichés, from the meet-cute to the happy ending. The acting from the main actresses is also quite bad, with them delivering wooden performances.

The story itself is nothing new. We've seen it all before in countless other movies.

Overall, The More Love Grows is a disappointing movie. It's a clichéd romance with bad acting. Watch it only if you are a fan of Hallmark movies, then you might be able to find something to enjoy in The More Love Grows. But if you're looking for a movie with good acting and a fresh story, I would recommend skipping this one.

Yes, there are a lot of weak spots in this movie, but the longer I watched it, I appreciated how it delved into the important issues that the first minutes of it made you think were going to handled lightly. Though I was put off by many of the tropes that were introduced in the beginning, I appreciated the deft way they handled them as the movie unfolded, and how they reflected real world experiences for many of us.

I actually would love to see a sequel. Maybe this is just a transitional relationship and they end up finding other loves, but remain friends. Maybe they take that trip to Paris they both want to take and realize they aren't meant to be together. Maybe their kids end up in a relationship that causes all sorts of complications. Maybe Elmer becomes a dad. So many possibilities for this fine cast to explore further.

As a fan of "Heartland," I loved seeing Alisha Newton's character being a less than positive influence, as opposed to her Heartland character, Georgie.

I wanted to like this movie because the dog is so cute. Unfortunately the main character Helen is so annoying that I wanted something really bad to happen so she would stop being so bloody perky and show some authentic emotions. She giggles in almost every scene! Even after hearing that the dog's owner had been found. She doesn't seem to have any emotional intelligence..she is surprised by her husband leaving, that the new boyfriend had 'feelings' for her, that her daughter might have been over mothered!

The characters also seem to be thrown in and stereotypical rather than developed. The mother is intrusive , the new friend a bit 'out there', and the new boyfriend terribly supportive.

And speaking of dogs, they are not 'pack' animals...the training advice was so 1990s. They really could have used the opportunity to promote force free training techniques and best practices like microchipping.

The dog got me to watch, lol. I really enjoy the smooth simplicity of both Rachel Boston and Warren Christie. A believable pair. The story is engaging but the plot is not superbly well written at all. There are just Too many odd characters that contribute no context (like her mean girl (not believable) besties... the three don't have any chemistry as a friend group!) The relationship conflict is realistic -- making it interesting. The rest of the acting was awkward to watch for the most part. And too rote. But it's a solid Hallmark flick for the acting. And lighthearted in the end and that's it's charm.

This is already one of my favorite films.

It had a really strong theme of growth, among several of the characters, in some surprising ways. And there were opportunities to take the easy way out for a lot of the characters, and it was interesting what each ultimately chose.

Rachel Boston and Warren Christie were natural together, and it good to see them each growing and maturing as actors. And we certainly saw a new side of Linda Boyd.

There were some characters that seemed like they were going to be important that got lost in the shuffle for a while, but that really is how life goes sometimes.
