Perfect Romance

Obvious from the start but still a feel good movie. I'm trying to find out what the song is called when Tess runs into peter while jogging in the woods. It's a female artist with a snappy beat. I'd love to be able to buy this movie....

While the bare bones of the story holds distinct promise, something holds it back. Except for the two leads, the majority of the cast lack any positive character. Its hard to put your finger on it, but they and the dialog seems mean spirited instead of charming. The central story has its appeal and the resolution is pleasing, but, not enough to raise the quality of the story that much. In the end, if you're in the mood of a romantic movie on a rainy day, you could do worse, and better.

Depressingly poor direction from Douglas Barr, better known as the veteran co-star of the terrible TV series "Designing Women", is one of the film's major faults.

It also has a most unlikeable syrupy script from Allison Burnett who repeated the crime in her next film "Autumn in New York".

It is sad to see an actress of Kathleen Quinlan's quality wasted in this drivel; Lori Heuring's acting falls way short of the mark.

The only saving grace is Brit television actor Henry Ian Cusick attempting to make a very simple role somewhat complicated. He went on to co-star in the wonderful "Lost" series.

Avoid this at all costs.

4/10

I'm a sucker for a romance movie. I love when people learn and all is a win win. Sometimes we need to feel and this movie can simply do that. This is worth watching if you need a quick pick me up.

I didn't enjoy most of it. Somehow it felt so cringy and the scenes that were supposed to make you laugh but didn't cause comedy is just 👎🏻. You can definetly predict lots of the events while watching and that kind a of annoying.

What I liked anout the movie though:

Now, the idea, or at least what I deduced/learned from watching this is that there is no bonderies (age) when it comes to loving someone, after all real love is loving someone for who they are and their essence (mind and soul and heart) so that was a good theme, even though *and yes I admit it* has always been sort of ageist when it comes to romantic relationship and it changed how I think about that.

So, yeah that's that.
