Watch Love on the Sidelines For Free

The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Hallmark movies are meant to be romantic and have a happy ending, so this movie is exactly what you'd expect from a Hallmark film. But, seriously, the female characters were supposed to be SO clueless about football that they had no idea about the game at all, and no clue about celebrity sportsmen? Come on, we live in the digital era, you might not watch football, but most people know the names of the top guys - I mean I don't know a thing about Tom Brady's team, but I've heard of him. You might not know the rules of a sport, but to make the female character in this movie so clueless about football was a little old-fashioned in my opinion, but luckily for Hallmark, they picked an actress who could pull this off without making it too annoying. Also, she's driving a classic car, but the guy has to step in and help her when she keeps on trying to start it, making me cringe for the poor engine. Then the guy was a bit of a jerk - totally self-absorbed most of the time and quite selfish, but again, good casting made his character more likeable than he should have been.I gave this movie a 5 because there were too many stereotypes and even though I'm not an all-out feminist, the not knowing anything about sports and the car part, was frankly a little insulting. My 10 year old daughter's comment watching the movie at the car breaking down part was - "Doesn't she know how to take care of her own car?" Amen to that.Hallmark, step it up - formulaic is one thing, out of touch with real women is plain irritating.

This was cute and pretty mindless, another one of those Hallmark made for TV movies I get stuck into from time to time. This one starred Beth Emily Kinney from the Walking Dead, it was nice to see her doing something blood and gore free here. She does a good job with this romancy role, very sweet, playing a personal assistant to an injured professional football player -even though she knows nothing about the sport or how to be a PA for that matter. As 'Laurel' bluffs her way through her new job 'Danny' attempts to protect his public image while coming to terms with having a female assistant. Of course love happens because this is Hallmark.

Supposed to be a Valentine type movie. I would think some chemistry or something with the leads. Rather dry or something. Lacking any kind of emotion/chemistry etc. for the two leads. When they argued that was the only time any feeling showed. Emily is super cute, watched her in Walking Dead, but this was pretty bland. I don't know...just no passion or spark on screen with these two. Maybe if she had a male lead that looked as if he really cared...didn't get much out of John Reardon Yes, I know it is just a Hallmark movie, but come on, a tad effort from the casting director please. I liked Elise Gatien who played Ava, the jock's sister. She was warmer than the two leads.

3 cheers for this made-for-TV football-flavored rom-com that spikes it in the end zone... We get to see a whole different side of The Walking Dead's super-talented Emily Kinney, who plays a perky upbeat personal assistant to an earnest pro-football champ quarterback (Canadian Ken doll John Reardon) who's been sidelined with a leg injury... Alas she's an aspiring fashion designer who knows nothing about sports (but needs a job and so is willing to fake it), and so you've got some built-in nerd vs. jock friction at the outset, but since this is a Hallmark movie, you can safely predict the final resolution -- heck, it's revealed in the film's title!... The fun is getting the ball down the field, so to speak, as the writers and director have cleverly plotted and paced the arc of their romance... There's only a smattering of hardcore football footage, as most of the action takes place off the field, as he hobbles around his home/office or his sports bar hangout, but football fans will be delighted to see none other than the legendary Joe Theismann (who was famously sidelined himself with a devastating real-life leg injury) ) in a rare acting role as the hero's father... In all, a lighthearted romantic romp whose leads are easy on the eyes... Score an extra point for Kinney, a TV and Broadway vet (and accomplished singer/songwriter) , whose film career will surely get jump-started with her victorious star turn here...
