This movie will make you yell at the screen but in a good way.  You will be shocked at the party mom’s behavior before and after her trial.  Even after hearing the toughest news imaginable, her reaction will leave you stunned and dismayed.  This actress has succeeded in making you so angry at her character, you forget she is acting.  But while everything is going on, you see that Ashley is embarrassed and even disgusted by her mother’s actions.  Even though Brittany wants her mom to change. Brittany will earn that the grass may be greener but its loaded with manure.  So get ready to spit out your wine and get mad.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars

She is given the task of running a child’s birthday party in order to land a bigger job for her boss.  After saving the bouncy house, Paul and Michelle think Loretta is her boss and ask her to help deceive Michelle’s father for his blessing of their marriage.  Loretta, bitter that she was overlooked for a job, doesn’t correct them and pretends to be her boss.  Now to help Paul impress is “outdoorsy” future father-in-law, she will plan a guys trip to her hometown and ask Wayne and her mother to help with the lie.  With a pair of new boots, a woodpecker, a phone, and one overacting boyfriend, the truth will come to light.

To sum up this movie: Slow and predictable.  Even by Hallmark standards, this movie just follows the formula too much.  It offers little laughs and minuscule reactions to big reveals.  It just doesn’t give more than the expected “leave town and love behind to find them later” storyline.  This movie is background noise for your day.

I give it 2 out of 5 stars

If I don’t do this, I will always wonder if I’m good enough – Loretta

No plan survives contact with the enemy – Ms. Bennet

Even though I am a lawyer, I hate liars – Paul

Royal Matchmaker – Review

Royal Matchmaker – Hallmark – 2 hours and 0 minutes

Kate is a hard working matchmaker with a happy clientele.  Her company “True Love Matchmaking” uses an algorithm to find the right people to pair up.  So with a royal ball in 4 weeks, King Edward wants Kate to find his son Prince Sebastian a wife.  While Kate believes 4 weeks is too soon, she takes on the challenge.  Upon investigation, Kate learns the Prince earned a Political Science degree, mother died when he was 19, is into extreme sports, and has never been photographed with the same woman twice.  When she finally meets him, she finds him to be ill-mannered and extremely guarded.   However, she is determined to find the Prince the right mate.  Her company’s good name rides on this match.  While Kate spends more times with him she begins to like him.  And as her feelings show, Kate’s analyst Britney reveals Kate is a 95% match for the Prince.  The only problem, Kate has set the Prince up with a 90% match that he likes.  Can Kate keep her feelings quiet for her company’s reputation or will she let true love lead?

This a sweet comedy with a secondary couple you will not see coming.  You won’t see it because you will cheer on another secondary couple but when a history is revealed; your dreams will go to the waist side.  Although it does supply the typical Hallmark romance, there is a lot to be desired with quick quips and jabs.  This movie is good for a quick laugh and a decent story.

I give it 3 out of 5 stars

A note, more like a symphony – Prince Sebastian

Um, no.  They would not let me take it through customs – Britney
