Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Ben W The actors and actresses are fine, especially the male leading actor Benjamin Ayres is doing well. He is actually quite handsome and cute. Have seen him playing minor role in other tv film before, it is good to see that he finally has got a leading role. However the story plot of this film is really stupid and terrible. The whole one and a half hour has not much real story at all. Just hope that the other tv film Falling for Vermont with also Benjamin Ayres as leading role will be a better one.
Kirpianuscus for a not fan of romance like me, each film of this genre represents a challenge. because I look for sympathize it. and the success is rare for this desire. but "Love by chance" is nice. first for beautiful work of Brenda Strong. in same measure, for the effort of Beau Garret to give a reasonable Claire. the only mistake, for me, is the option for Benjamin Ayres as Eric Carlton. I do know why but the clothes of character are too large for him. a good choice, maybe, Zahf Paroo. but this is only a very subjective detail. another good point is the performance of John Cassini as Marco, the loyal friend and the work of Marci T. House. the seductive spices- the humor and plans for the trip to Italy. so, nice.
rayanthony-1 I really enjoyed this movie. It definitely counts as one of Hallmark's better efforts. I haven't seen the movie referred to elsewhere - 'Because I Said So' - so this one was refreshingly original for me. The plot for the most part was very believable although I did find it hard to accept how easily Claire gave up on Eric when she found out that her mother had engineered the first meeting. The cast was well chosen and performed excellently. I particularly liked Brenda Strong's character Helen who, as far as I am concerned, was the best one in the movie and Brenda played her superbly. I hope to see more of Brenda's work. It is definitely worth watching again.
bronxgirlcl So concerned caring mom gets involved in daughters life by getting a great guy to meet her . Girl meets guy and likes guy and they date okay BUT the ridiculous daughter who has as much personality as a moldy scone wants fate not arrangement . When said daughter finds out mom had arranged for great guy to meet her she flips her lid and no more relationship because why have a great guy if your mom got involved? This woman is horrible and spoiled and utterly disturbing. The story is similar to the Diane Keaton movie because I said so because of the mom wanting her child to meet someone wonderful .. Keaton was good as the mom in that and Brenda strong was also good as mom but no comparison. I skipped through this one and got rid of it post haste.
