Flip That Romance

Jules Briggs (Julie Gonzalo) is shocked to find that former lover and rival house flipper Lance Waddell (Tyler Hynes) has returned to town to help his father. The combative duo fight over the same property in a public auction. She ends up overpaying. It turns out that he's working on the other side of the same duplex. They challenge each other to a bet and it becomes a media story.

She's good at being flustered. He's fine at provoking her although he could be better. Their chemistry is good. It's fine as a Hallmark romance. I expect that Gonzalo will continue to be a Hallmark regular. Hynes has a simple unthreatening persona which Hallmark seems to like. Quite frankly, I'd like to see Gonzalo be teamed up with a more energetic partner and set up a more combative chemistry.

You're never gonna get too much deviation from a typical Hallmark storyline - past relationship, running away, death of a loved one, misunderstanding etc. This one had a novel twist of Julie Gonzalo & Tyler Haynes as past lovers, doing up one side each of a duplex, which first becomes fiercely competitive between the two and then becomes National as a magazine gets people to vote which property is now the best. Both leads were good in this role although Julie's character is a bit oversensitive. Pretty good.

I love the banter and chemistry between the two main characters. Definitely keeps your attention through the whole movie. The guy who plays Lance is probably my new favorite male hallmark actor!

A nice, easy going Hallmark film, with it nice to see some different faces in the line-up also.

Yes, there's a lot of bickering between the two main characters, but other than that I enjoyed this.

I like Hallmark movies but I'm getting tired of the main female character being a witch with a chip on her shoulder. Why does Hallmark think all women are like that?
