Watch My Secret Valentine For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Simply A Masterpiece

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

If you're paying attention, it won't take you very long to spot that this movie is a TV remake of Shop Around The Corner by way of You've Got Mail. What they've essentially done is taken the story beats of the earlier versions of the story and inserted them into their boilerplate Hallmark template. In fact, you might wonder if the "big city outsider sets out to close smaller business but instead finds love" formula, used by do many Hallmark movies, was itself lifted from You've Got Mail.Still, I enjoyed it. Lacey Chabert is as squeakily adorable as ever. Worth a watch.

This movie is a wonderful romance movie such touches the heart. Both actors did a great job.

Lacey keeps claiming her title, every year, as the "Queen" of Hallmark. And Andrew W. Walker is definitely one of the favorites (mine included) so I'm really glad they finally got to co-star in this one together.I went into this movie withouth knowing much: Chloe comes back home after her father asked her to because he has some news about the winery that has been in the family for decades. Seth has one purpose: to buy this winery for the huge company he works for. So, they start spending time together as Seth starts enjoying the country life... and they even interact more than they actually think.The board in the cabin was such a nice and original feature, and I really enjoyed it. The story was good, but very few Hallmark actors would have made it as special as these two made it. The chemistry was a plasant one to watch. (Seriously, does he have chemistry with all his co-stars?)No exes involved, extra points for that. I even laughed out loud more than once thanks to Lacey and specially thanks to Andrew. The character's (and Andrew's) sense of humor was a very satisfaying part of the movie. Probably my favorite part. I have very few problems with it: 1° the ending could have been way much better than that. . 2° I don't get why she kept blaming Seth when it wasn't his fault at all? 3° They never run into each other at the cabin (i'm gonna let this go) 4° The last sentence was too corny even for me.But other than those, which you are in your right to disagree with, it was pretty good.

I'm sure it can't be plagiarism, or whatever the cinematic equivalent is, but the last line at least is stolen in spirit if not verbatim. You can watch to the end to see what that is. And the whole plot line was so close in structure to another famous movie.So many things were forced. The whole exchanging notes thing had holes in it. Why would someone paying rent do repairs for someone he'd never met her. Maybe a couple minor ones the first day since he was bored. And neither of them could figure out who the other might be. Why did the both assume what the other's gender was? Chloe's seeking advice about "a jerk" should have set off bells for Seth. On the other side, surely Chloe had to consider the thought spoken by either her or Leanne that it might be Seth. Chloe went to the cabin at different times of day and yet somehow never ran in to him?Dad, are you really going to talk selling the winery without telling your daughter first? And then do it without asking her opinion? You never considered how she might fit? Do you not know each other at all? Do you not talk? Apparently not, but that doesn't sound too smart.Seth really did act like Chloe expected. So how would she ever trust him? She warned herself against a charmer. Is she really going to give in to him? And how could he deny it, especially to himself? Clearly it really was his job to do exactly what she didn't want to happen. And was Dad so naïve after she warned him?Was there chemistry between Chabert and Walker? To me, there could have been, but it wasn't there yet. Unfortunately that is the problem with this type of movie - true love happens so fast. I'm a fan of Chabert and Hallmark. She does have a charming and romantic side. If you watched the premiere on Hallmark, there was a very nice interview of Chabert telling a story about her husband proposing. That story and how she tells it, so fits her Hallmark image, and this character. So I enjoyed watching her in this movie. But Walker was too much of a frat boy corporate raider. He didn't shed that until too late. The scenes where he did nice things, like the repairs, were almost like it was a different person.This is a pretty typical Hallmark Valentine movie. Many people won't have a hard time laying aside reality and will enjoy this. For me, there were too many holes, especially Seth's character.
