Love in the Clouds

The female star looks like her face is made of plastic that a child painted makeup on and her lips were too plumped up with something. The bleach on her hair is a terrible color and looks like straw and what's with the black roots? The hairdo itself looks like she just got out of bed. If it all wasn't so pitiful it would look like a joke. Why is Paul's hair sticking up? That look is long gone, thank goodness. Paul always looks great and his acting is wonderful. The balloons are beautiful and the camera work is breathtaking. I cannot finish watching. I think that if the female lead looked normal it would be a good movie.

6.0 stars.

This story did not sparkle like many Hallmark stories do. Another factor that deflated the experience, pun intended, was the lack of energy from the actors. This was simply an all-around, low quality film. Obviously, it doesn't help that the blond women both appear to have had cosmetic surgery and Botox. Also the lead female's hair exposed a much-to-obvious patch of roots, like a sore thumb.

There is no story, no real romance (they attempt something that fails miserably), and no entertainment value. The lead female has a really grumpy and flat boss that seems a bit out of place. The lead male's Father is sad all the time, the mother is out of sorts and these three characters cast a cloud of sorrow over the story. The lead male and his buddy are okay, i suppose, but insufficient to resurrect it. I suppose the film industry is a hit-and-miss business, but jeepers.

The only semi-positive I have for this review is that the film is average for the music and cinematography. But this cannot sustain a movie. Nobody is going to truly enjoy this experience.

Please, please, stop with the Botox and fillers! Two beautiful women turned into plastic Barbies, and not in a good way. Very distracting.

I was especially interested in watching this since I have been to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. It is an experience that you should try not to miss.

Hallmark staple Paul Green is a favorite of mine and I will watch something just because of him. He is fine in this as are the other actors. I especially liked seeing Lorenzo Lamas as the father. He is still quite handsome! The chemistry between the two main leads lacked sparks. Maybe it was because I couldn't get past the lips. (Sorry) The two actors playing the two friends had more chemistry and were cute together. I hope to see more of Alexis Zollicoffer (Lisa) in the future.

Building a story around a balloon festival is a bit different and shooting in Albuquerque added to the movie. Thank you Hallmark for not trying to make Canada look like New Mexico. The story line was so, so. It would have been nice if we didn't have the usual trope of the boss insisting that the reporter get the story no matter how unethical it is. Can't the writers come up with something different? A reporter from Seattle doing a story on a balloon festival is told to dig up dirt on the balloon pilot. He is not famous and is just one of the many that are there. Why would anyone care, especially people hundreds of miles away? It's a stupid plot twist and very over used. Of course then there is the usual overheard telephone call, then jumping to conclusions because you walk away instead of listening to an explanation and then, making up with the final kiss.

I give this a seven. It's really a five/six but extra points for Paul Greene, Lorenzo Lamas and the balloons.

I've waited for so long foe a new movie with Paul Greene! And when I also saw hot air balloons - I thought I was in for a treat!

But the only beautiful aspects of the movie were the landscape scenes, and Paul Greene.

The main actress was so fake both in acting, but also had too much makeup PLUS a wig!

Fake fake fake!

It ruined any chemistry in the movie. The romance was not believable, and the rest of the movie was very hard to watch. Even the evil boss felt fake! Like the movie was created by lazy amateurs, and Paul Greene got lost on the set.

I so much hope to see other movies with Paul Greene, but good ones!

I had a hard time getting into this movie. McKenzie looked so made up . She looked like she had a hard time talking due to all The stuff in her face. Her make up was shinny and looked plastic. So sad don't know how he could act like he was attracted to her. Why did anyone think she was attractive and was good for the part. Her blonde hair looked so fake and the dark eyebrows made you wonder if she was blonde. Was it a wig? He is so handsome and a good actor so he did a good job holding it all together. I wonder if she has taken a good look at herself and realize it times to stop with the injections and surgery.
