Movie #2171 "It Was Always You" (hallmark) When I put this one on, I immediately discovered that I had seen most of this before, but I guess I forgot to write a blog on it, so I re-watched it. It has two of my favorites (Erin Krakow and Tyler Hynes) , and they very smoothly spend the hour and one-half really doing nothing but talking a lot and going through the motions of planning her wedding to his brother --- sounds like a goofy idea, but it worked. I wanted to keep watching just to see how their budding romance would affect the brother/brother relationship -- but they handled that smoothly, too, mostly by making the fiance so 'anal" about everything --- The brother she ends up with knew her growing up and knew she wasn't always like that, but she became that way when in the relationship with the anal brother. So I guess that's how it worked --- that and good chemistry between two very natural actors to work with --- they convey quite well that shared time and memories and that instant magic of being in the arms of your soulmate is true love, and it doesn't have to take a long time necessarily to click. As a result, the film is a good rom-com, and oftentimes these Hallmark films don't reach that potential --- i.e. something is lacking. I thought it worked well here. I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 (the anal brother is a bit cartoonish, but that's the one downside)
