I LOVE CORNY ROMCOMS!! Add a little bit of magic and I’m in heaven! Here’s a quick recap and my two cents 😉
Quick Recap
Rachel is feeling pressured by her mother to find a man. She’s tried online dating and been setup on multiple blind dates, but still can’t find the perfect man. Being an artist, she decides to create the perfect man out of clay. One night her friend Doris comes over and pulls out a family heirloom necklace. They decide place it around the clay mans neck to see if the folklore about the necklace is true; that it can make someones desires come true. The next day, Rachel finds that her sculpture has turned into a man.
My Two Cents
I was really looking forward to this movie and I’m so glad I wasn’t disappointed! I love corny romcoms with magic. I wasn’t expecting the Jewish family and folklore part, but absolutely loved it!!
I’m not sure about you, but I’ve definitely wanted to make a perfect man out of clay once or twice in my life. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could make a man who understood you and knew everything you wanted or liked? They knew your favorite foods and when you needed something before you needed it. It sounds fantastic!
But what if they always agreed with you? Didn’t challenge you when you need it? Didn’t argue with you when you’re wrong? It might be tempting at first to want these things, but eventually, it would become dull. Challenges make life interesting.
So, it’s not surprising when despite Clay being everything Rachel wanted, he lacked what she needed. Enter David. The frustrating man who constantly challenged Rachel to do more and be more. Supportive of her dreams and encouraging in her desires.
David helped her find what she needed. But don’t worry about Clay. This is a Hallmark movie and he finds his happily ever after too. I loved the ending!
This will be one of those movies I can watch over and over again and enjoy a little more every time. If you like corny romcoms with a little bit of magic, then you will probably enjoy this. If you’re looking for a movie with a super deep meaning or that’ll make you cry, then stay clear of this one.
