Love Blossoms (2017) Reviews

• Some Smiles, Some Yawns

  barlowralph2017-02-19

  Love Blossoms is a very typical Hallmark romantic movie, complete with the beautiful "heroine," the handsome "hero," the handsome boyfriend/fiancée, and the beautiful but devious "witch." The plot revolves around our heroine finishing the development of a new perfume which her late father had created. The movie is rather slow, and downright boring in spots, but it does have a nice, smile-producing ending scene. If you've got a lot of free time and like these kinds of "sappy" movies (as my wife and I do), then watch it.

• You've gotta see this one!

  This movie was excellent. Don't listen to the naysayers. Uh oh, barlowralph "Some Smiles, Some Yawns" gave SPOILERS, so DON'T READ THAT ONE! And DON'T read Miss M's "Lovely, something different" either because there are SPOILERS!..... I'm so glad I did not read these reviews before I watched the movie, because I would've been upset that I knew what was going to happen..... The scenery was gorgeous, excellent shots, the story was very new and fresh, with some unique twists that I'd not seen before. The music was great. The acting was very real, my husband and I felt like we were a part of their lives. This is a must see. Very inspirational. We LOVED IT!!!

• Lovely, something different.

  MIssM192017-02-20

  First review! When I read Shantel VanSanten was going to be in a movie I got excited. I love her. Luckily I really, really liked it. Somehow this didn't feel at all like a Hallmark movie. The plot was believable, nice, and yes, even though it has elements every type of these movies have it felt different. The locations where it was filmed were stunning, i'm glad they actually filmed in a European city, since the film was taking place in a European city. When it's fake, you can easily notice and it loses the magic. Shantel, aka Violet was adorable -I swear all her characters are - she was determined to recreate her late's father perfume and she set her mind into doing it. So he asks Dec for help who has an amazing sense of smell, even from the first moment they met there is a spark between them. Both leads did an amazing job, specially Shantel and their chemistry was quite lovely as well. What annoyed me, was of course they boyfriend, who gets jealous the second a new guy comes into the picture, but then when he is having dinner with the woman he claims to love, he is only paying attention to the phone. I'm so glad his plot turned out to be like it did. It suited him. I gotta admit, it might have been quite predictable - one watches so many Hallmark movies and you know every ending within the first half hour - but a few moments actually surprised me. So it was nice. What I think was missing though, was a good laugh. These movies tend to give one line or two that have me laughing, this was the exception. To sum up, the movie felt different, It didn't feel like an hour and half, It seemed less, so that's when I know i'm enjoying it. It might not be the best movie Hallmark has ever done, but I'm so glad I saw something that was different. It's definitely worth the watch.

• It gets a 6.4 Star Rating in my eyes due to the unique script!

  Halmark IS improving the quality of their movies. I have noticed the shift. This is a brand new movie for 2017 and it has a different idea, at least. Hallmark is beginning to think beyond and outside of the box when it comes to script-writing. I thought it was a cute movie. I never suspected who the guilty party was that ratted out the company, but I knew something didn't sit well with me and this character right from the beginning of this movie. This character played the part well, driven to get the results desired for who we thought was to be the 'original' team who created the formula. Little did we know! Guess you'll have to watch the movie to see who was on the competitor's side. It's a decent chick and 'sappy' dude flick.

• its a slow movie

  vriddheeg2017-02-20

  It's Set in Bruges, the shooting locations are very apt and lovely. This slow yet well-directed romance is suitable to be played in the background while you work on something. You hardly come across Hallmark movies where actors have accents and hence its refreshing to see some of the supporting casts carry speak in accents.
