GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Memorergi good film but with many flaws

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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.

Phil.Gee A flat, unimaginative script is the main killer for this numbing chick flick, but not the only culprit. This appears to be a team effort by the director, writer and actors. I stuck with it because my wife likes to watch movies until the end; since I love harmony with my wife, I forced myself to stay awake. Hallmark Channel seems to be known for sappy flicks -- and sappy flicks have their place -- but this piece of junk would have been better as a high school film project (viewed by a few dozen people).There was, perhaps, one clever line in the entire movie, though I can't recall it now. The lead characters were generic and boring, the plot was oh-so-predictable, and the score was incredibly annoying and ridiculous.The key positive was that it was over in less than 90 minutes.

Lily-32 I love the Hallmark movies. My mom and I watch them together all the time, but recently I've felt some of them haven't been up to par. Thankfully, Elevator Girl is the exception. It was cute and fun and believable. Not too sappy or preachy, just good fun. The chemistry between Ryan Merriman and Lacey Chalbert (?) was great (though I admit I still have a hard time seeing RM as a grown up actor and not think of his DCOM days where at one point he played a leprechaun). Ryan Merriman showed he can be an adult actor and I was very happy with that. LC usually annoys me but I really enjoyed her performance in this. I'll definitely be buying this one on DVD so the count down for that begins now. If you like Hallmark channel movies I think you'll like this one.
