westlingks Review of Love, Classified

Love, Classified (2022 TV Movie)

Great acting, love the concept, story was bland

[7/10 · 18 June 2022]

The acting was great and natural. I like that there was a large main cast, rather than 2 characters only. I like that it was a departure from the typical Hallmark formula. I also liked the quirky elements. I loved and appreciated the inclusivity and would love to see more of this from Hallmark. I liked the concept of this movie but the story fell short for me. Some parts dragged with a lot of pointless dialogue. Others had dramatic energy but weren't believable to the story line without context to put it in. It skipped over character development. There could have been more depth to some of the secondary storylines like Emilia and the bookstore owner, it's just sort of thrown in that they knew each other. So, I was disappointed because I had a lot of hope for this one since it had a lot of ingredients I life, it just didn't have the special sauce to bring it all together.
