Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

liscandal Just to start off, I LOVE the Hallmark channel. It's on in my house 90% of the time only because I have to share the tv with my family. With that said, I hated this movie. You have a girl who is HAPPY with her life, never complained about needing money then meets a rich, pompous ass who ends up being ashamed of her when he finds out she was a waitress. He belittles her, treats her like crap but she says, "there's something about him". Really?! After yelling at her, one visit with flowers is all it took for her to forgive him for treating her like Sh**. What I don't understand is why push her to "choose one thing" if she was genuinely happy with all her TALENTS. Then her best friend accuses her of quitting everything. If she was that type (quitter) she wouldn't have all those different types of jobs now would she??? Then of course at the end she ends up being good enough for him to win her back only because she became "successful". He offended her so much that she decided to follow his advice and choose the one thing. Horrible

herbqedi I enjoy the more effervescent Hallmark romantic comedies the best and this is certainly one of those. The relationship and chemistry are explored well. Merriman, who has been acting in sitcoms since he was 9 and just played a nasty but driven Dixie Walker in 42, is quite believable as the driven lawyer whose live threatens to be turned upside down and LC, well-known from Party of Five forward, uses her charm and overbite amazingly well in this one. In fact, this may be the most complete performance I've seen from her. The best friends are well-played and have good chemistry with the leads. And the big blonde "other woman" who you would expect to be an obnoxious object-of-scorn in most films is actually a well-written and clearly motivated adult who takes everything in stride intelligently. And the performance of the woman playing Cynthia is pitch perfect - so points to this departure from the norm. And, this movie avoids mean-spiritedness to such a degree that even LC's main detractor, Merriman's best friend, sees the light and apologizes to her. LC is amazing in this.But, I must confess the real reason I am taking time to write this is the tour-de-force performance given by one of my personal all-time favorite former child stars, Patty McCormack as Rosemary, the all-wise secretary/matchmaker who never misses a chance to set right what she sees as wrong. Her performance is magnificent and sets the tome for the entire film. It is the meatiest role I've seen her get since her low-budget horror "Mommy" movies and she still has the same penetrating blue eyes she had as Rhoda Penmark and in the Explosive Generation and as Mrs. Roper (much too good for Geoffrey Tambor).This was a great role for her and her spirit carries the movie. I wish Priscilla Barnes (from Three's Company and more) had more to do in this film as she's also been an under-utilized talent. Anyway, this is a most enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half.

huggabunchable Decided to watch this on my lazy Saturday afternoon. I don't really watch many hallmark movies but there wasn't anything on HBO I wanted to watch. This movie surprised me. It kept me interested the whole time. I really enjoyed it!I didn't actually realize this movie was a modern day Cinderella when watching this which was good for me. Wasn't too cheesy!The 2 leads had great chemistry and I loved the matchmaking secretary. The best friends in the movie were pretty believable. Great casting!This movie was adorable. I would for sure buy it if I came across it in a sales bin at like walmart, video warehouse, or best buy.

edwagreen Still another version of a modern day Cinderella, not oppressed, but rather a free spirit who meets the guy of her dreams when they get stuck in an elevator.Our guy is a hot-shot lawyer who has just been promoted to a partnership in the firm. He is hard driven as work ethic really consumes him. Yet, a strong relationship develops between our 2 lovebirds.The story is basically if people from two different backgrounds can really succeed. It's the old case of compromise here.The cast is great and special kudos to Patty McCormack, as our guy's matchmaking secretary,who sees a good match in the making and fights to sustain it. If anything she is the "good" seed here.(Remember her as the evil child in her Oscar nominated role in 1956's "The Bad Seed?")We see our guy's friend who wants him to date the girl of high social status. She is a snob in every word and our guy has no chemistry with her whatsoever.Love conquers all. It's better than ever here.
