A Dangerous Date – Review
A Dangerous Date – LMN – 2 hours and 0 minutes
Peter is a widowed, divorce attorney with a daughter named Julie. He is happy spending time with her and working. However, Julie wants him to start dating and ask him to sign up for a dating site. After some time he meets Alexis. Alexis is a strong, smart surgent with bad luck in the dating scene. However, she and Peter feel the spark immediately and end up in bed. Peter doesn’t know that Alexis has been watching their family for years and has stalked her way back into his life. She is relentless in her pursuit of Peter but the motivation behind her persistence will leave you astonished.
This movie has a very slow start to set up Peter and Julie’s relationship and his search for a new love. This is a starch contrast to the fast pace that Alexis falls in love. Julie plays the bratty but wise college student but this is typical behavior of high school student. So its hard to take her seriously. While the middle some great moments, you may become disinterested before you see it. So leave this movie as background noise for the first 30 minutes, then give it your attention.
I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars
Well, maybe I am just saving myself for someone special – Alexis

Twin Betrayal – Review
Twin Betrayal – Lifetime – 2 hours and 4 minutes
Jess is in the middle of a messy divorce and custody battle with her husband Lars. She is happy to have a work conference to attend in order to get away from it all. At the conference, she meets a kind stranger straight out of her cowboy fantasies. Everything seems to be great until the next morning. Her sexy cowboy admits she was hired by Lars to catch her on tape having sex with a stranger and taking drugs. She has one week to get $70,000 or he will give the tape to her husband. Jess knows she will lose her son if Lars gets a hold of the tape. So, she asks her father for the money and he gives her a swift and firm no. Then she learns her estranged, identical twin sister Ally is in town. Jess’s best friend Maddy tells her that Ally looks well off. So Jess goes to Ally for the money. Ally doesn’t have it but she offers to help trap the cowboy. But if Ally helps Jess, Ally makes it know she wants something in return. When Ally calls in her favor, Jess will end up in jail, her father will be dead, and she will need to ask Lars for help.
Get ready to have your head spin. Just when you believe you have a handle on what’s happening, you are completely thrown off guard. This movie has so many WTF moments, you will not be able to look away or trust anyone. The ending leaves you with a question and hoping for a part 2. The lead actress does an amazing job separating the twins into their own distinct personalities, speech patterns, and gestures. You can even see the change as Jess pretends to be Ally and vice versa. It’s a great and difficult dynamic that she pulls off flawlessly. DVR this movie and watch it twice. See if you can keep up and have your good wine ready.
I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars

Once Upon a Prince – Review
Once Upon a Prince – Hallmark – 2 hours and 0 minutes
Newly single Susanna is looking to get her life started. She wants to be a landscaper but works in her parents’ floral shop to help them out and make ends meet. While on a delivery, she gets a flat tire. Nate pulls over to help her out and they hit it off. The two start to date but don’t realize they are being followed and photographed. When Nate learns of the photos he quickly puts an end to their sale. He knows the photos will cause a scandal because he is a Prince and next in line to the throne. It doesn’t take long for word to get back to the Queen. She orders Nate home immediately and tells him to find a suitable woman to propose to at his coronation. And Susanna, a commoner, is not suitable. The Queen thinks Susanna is nice but they must follow tradition. However, Nate only has eyes for Susanna. So the Queen comes up with a plan. Invite Susanna over and show Nate that she is not ready to be a member of the monarchy. When Nate sees her crumble under pressure, he will get over her.
Based on the book Once Upon a Prince by Rachel Hauck, this has a slow start that is saved by a conniving Queen (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). With the recent royal/commoner weddings, this movie doesn’t feel like a fairy tale but a true possibility. However, this movie just doesn’t grab your attention with the lead characters. It’s just not a relationship you root to go the distance. Since the leads aren’t exciting, the Queen must deliver. While she is cunning, it’s just not enough to make you believe the relationship is at risk. Since you know how the movie will end, the plot must be strong. This movie’s plot is just decent. Use this movie as background noise.
I give it 3 out of 5 stars
Public relations. What do you do – Nate
I’ve never met anyone our age with a handkerchief. Are you a time traveler from another era or something – Susanna
