Looks good!
ReplyDeleteI so agree, Susan! Looks like a lovely Valentines's Day movie! :)
DeleteDid Lacey & Will work together before
ReplyDeleteWill and Lacey worked together on a made-for-TV movie called "Non-Stop" (I remember seeing it on Lifetime years ago). When they first started filming "Love, Romance and Chocolate," one of them alluded to having worked together before, but I couldn't remember what the project was. When I saw that it was "Non-Stop" on IMDB, I remembered watching it. It was a suspense movie.
DeleteI've never seen the Lifetime movie, "Non-Stop," which they worked on together, but from what I am hearing, Will's character attempted to kill Lacey's character on a plane. Sounds like it was very intense. Thank goodness this time around they are doing a Hallmark happy love story! :)
DeleteThis one wasn't bad, but it was a little too predictable.
ReplyDeletePlus Brittany is a great support character and in so many HM movies that it was hard to watch her with the accent which would come and go.
DeleteYeah, the fake accents are generally not my favorite, either, like the brother in "A Winter Princess." I love Brittany, with or without the accent, but I prefer her better without it! ;)
DeleteI loved the setting for this one. Bruges was really pretty...the history and all the chocolate making (and eating) was enjoyable to watch. Also...Brittany Bristow's accent was fun! I wish the story went a little deeper...but overall a great Valentine's movie.
ReplyDeleteI fell for this one, too, Amanda! There was just something so sweet and lovely about it, and of course, Lacey was delightful, as always, and Will Kemp, so dashingly handsome. I agree, it's such a perfectly great Valentine's movie!
DeleteIt is a great movie. Will Kemp did a wonderful job of acting hurt when Luc ssw Emma with the other chocolatier in the side street.
DeleteI was disappointed that Luc asked Emma to be his partner, not his wife. Anyone else catch that? Maybe the ring was hidden in the display case like his mother's engagement ring was hidden?
I also loved this movie Namegirl! Everything about it made me feel like it was meant for the big screen, instead of a TV movie of the week! The scenery was stunning and the acting was stellar.
DeleteI, too, was hoping for the secretly hidden engagement ring - just like his parents, but then it made me wonder if, perhaps, a sequel might be planned. I would love that - so they could complete Luc and Emma's romantic love story!
Glad you enjoyed this wonderful movie, too! :)
They were certainly great together. I would watch the sequel.
DeleteDoes anyone know the label of the winter coat from lacey?
