I love Saturday night romcoms! Hallmark could have romcoms every Saturday and I would tune in! Here’s a quick recap and my two cents 😉
Quick Recap
Elle seemed to have it all during and after high school. She was class president, then moved onto a successful career. But she didn’t have a man in her life. She returns home to plan her high school reunion and runs into her high school crush. Will she have a chance with him this time around?
My Two Cents
I’m not gonna lie. I wasn’t looking forward to this movie. The previews all showed a very Carrie like moment (with water instead of blood) drowning Elle on a stage. I don’t care for bully romance movies and I was afraid this would be one. Good news! It’s not!! It’s actually a really cute romcom.
I really liked having the prologue with them in high school. It helped setup the rest of the movie. It was a little weird seeing all the actors and actresses playing their younger selves, but it was better than trying to figure out who was who if they had other actors/actresses portray them.
Hallmark also did a good job of making this movie well rounded by following several people from high school – instead of just one couple. I could really sympathize with Katie and Jay’s relationship – the high school couple who stayed together and is now facing adult challenges. I especially liked their ending where they find their happily ever after 🙂
I was surprised Devin had a teenage daughter, but I loved her! Yay for Hallmark making her a female computer programmer! It was fun to hear her pick on her non-technologically inclined Father. I’ve definitely heard very similar discussions a few times before 🙂
I wasn’t alone in enjoying this movie tonight. Even Jeff stayed for the whole movie! 😲 He even laughed a few times. Haha.
I think this movie will appeal to most. I could watch it again and probably will at some point. It isn’t new or different, but it’s a fun romcom. Not quite as corny as Haul Out the Holly. Hehe. But worth watching!
