Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
vulturemadam It's a guilty pleasure, but I must admit I love movies such as the ones the Hallmark and Lifetime movie channels show. "Love the on the Sidelines" was wonderful escapism; yes, the formula of girl-meets-boy, girl-and-boy-clash, girl-and-boy-discover-they-love-each-other has been done many times before, but the writing was sharp and the characters likable. The Emily Kinney character was reminiscent of a true Girl Friday character from films of the 1930s; she retains an edge about her and you believe this is a gal who knows how to take care of herself (instead of the usual victims so many TV films portray women as). I thought the movie sweet and, although you have a good idea of how it will turn out, still didn't take away from the enjoyment of it.
scoutzmom Very cute movie! A bit more intelligent than the usual Hallmark stuff. Sparkling dialogue and good casting. At first I wasn't gonna watch it as I know nothing about football but I was delighted to find out that it was light on the spory and long on the romance!I did not know Emily Kinney before, she is adorable. And the lead male is quite handsome... I really liked the young woman who played Ava. I would like to see her star in something. Thanks for making my Saturday nite more enjoyable.
wingedheartart Supposed to be a Valentine type movie. I would think some chemistry or something with the leads. Rather dry or something. Lacking any kind of emotion/chemistry etc. for the two leads. When they argued that was the only time any feeling showed. Emily is super cute, watched her in Walking Dead, but this was pretty bland. I don't know...just no passion or spark on screen with these two. Maybe if she had a male lead that looked as if he really cared...didn't get much out of John Reardon Yes, I know it is just a Hallmark movie, but come on, a tad effort from the casting director please. I liked Elise Gatien who played Ava, the jock's sister. She was warmer than the two leads.
jerrylazar 3 cheers for this made-for-TV football-flavored rom-com that spikes it in the end zone... We get to see a whole different side of The Walking Dead's super-talented Emily Kinney, who plays a perky upbeat personal assistant to an earnest pro-football champ quarterback (Canadian Ken doll John Reardon) who's been sidelined with a leg injury... Alas she's an aspiring fashion designer who knows nothing about sports (but needs a job and so is willing to fake it), and so you've got some built-in nerd vs. jock friction at the outset, but since this is a Hallmark movie, you can safely predict the final resolution -- heck, it's revealed in the film's title!... The fun is getting the ball down the field, so to speak, as the writers and director have cleverly plotted and paced the arc of their romance... There's only a smattering of hardcore football footage, as most of the action takes place off the field, as he hobbles around his home/office or his sports bar hangout, but football fans will be delighted to see none other than the legendary Joe Theismann (who was famously sidelined himself with a devastating real-life leg injury) ) in a rare acting role as the hero's father... In all, a lighthearted romantic romp whose leads are easy on the eyes... Score an extra point for Kinney, a TV and Broadway vet (and accomplished singer/songwriter) , whose film career will surely get jump-started with her victorious star turn here...
