With a whole host of Hallmark movies that are hard to differentiate from each other; this one doesn't just step out of the box, it leaps. And the leap pays off.
Excellent and original script, charming characters, some romance & humor and it was shot beautifully.
As the characters drive through NYC, searching for the owner of a ring, they experience all forms of Valentine's Day - couples in various stages of their relationships. It's done with fun, instead of the typical schlocky romance you might get in a movie like this.
Robert Buckley and Lacey Chabert are really good, letting us watch their attraction grow as we get to know them through one evening of various Valentine celebrations.
I can be cynical when it comes to these movies, but this won me over. I loved everything about it.

I like the two leads, but I didn't like the movie.
This was marketed as an adventure/mystery, maybe even borderline suspense. I didn't find any of those things in this movie.
There was too much of a lack of urgency for this to be an adventure. It was meandering at best.
I never once felt afraid for them. Bad writing? Bad acting? Maybe a little of both.
The ending is from the moon. All of that yammering and concern about breaking a code to find this giant pot of whatever at the end of the Iceland rainbow led to this? A stale cake in an old room full of what consists of Christmas crap. The only real mystery is who lit those candles and turned on the lights?
Bizarre.

I'm a big fan of the Curious Caterer movies, but I didn't like this one.
The band characters were fairly boring and several of the guys were interchangeable making it hard to follow. Stop throwing a zillion names at us to explain a plot. That's hard to follow. Just write a good plot.
I've always liked that the characters in these movies were somewhat realistic, but at least one character, the super fan, was too over the top and silly.
I couldn't stand the way Goldie behaved. She seemed less like an adult in charge in this and more like she was a tween jumping up and down and giggling at the band.
I think getting Goldie & Tom together this soon is a mistake. They'll lose the undercurrent.
And, finally, there was a lot of really bad hair in this. Goldie's new bob is bad on her face and it looked fluffy and sometimes fuzzy. Tom is parting his hair down the middle, which is a giant no. The stubble makes him look 10 years older. Sara Strange's short hair leaves me speechless. I hope it was a wig.
All in all, this was a real disappointment.
