Best movie of this year hands down!

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Hallmark movies are meant to be romantic and have a happy ending, so this movie is exactly what you'd expect from a Hallmark film. But, seriously, the female characters were supposed to be SO clueless about football that they had no idea about the game at all, and no clue about celebrity sportsmen? Come on, we live in the digital era, you might not watch football, but most people know the names of the top guys - I mean I don't know a thing about Tom Brady's team, but I've heard of him. You might not know the rules of a sport, but to make the female character in this movie so clueless about football was a little old-fashioned in my opinion, but luckily for Hallmark, they picked an actress who could pull this off without making it too annoying. Also, she's driving a classic car, but the guy has to step in and help her when she keeps on trying to start it, making me cringe for the poor engine. Then the guy was a bit of a jerk - totally self-absorbed most of the time and quite selfish, but again, good casting made his character more likeable than he should have been.I gave this movie a 5 because there were too many stereotypes and even though I'm not an all-out feminist, the not knowing anything about sports and the car part, was frankly a little insulting. My 10 year old daughter's comment watching the movie at the car breaking down part was - "Doesn't she know how to take care of her own car?" Amen to that.Hallmark, step it up - formulaic is one thing, out of touch with real women is plain irritating.

This was cute and pretty mindless, another one of those Hallmark made for TV movies I get stuck into from time to time. This one starred Beth Emily Kinney from the Walking Dead, it was nice to see her doing something blood and gore free here. She does a good job with this romancy role, very sweet, playing a personal assistant to an injured professional football player -even though she knows nothing about the sport or how to be a PA for that matter. As 'Laurel' bluffs her way through her new job 'Danny' attempts to protect his public image while coming to terms with having a female assistant. Of course love happens because this is Hallmark.

This movie is mainly a agglomeration of conservative white American clichés. There are about 3 funny scenes in it, the rest just follows the romcom-chickflick-stereotype you have seen 1000 times before:The stubborn male lead is just concerned about his male issues, while the insecure female lead makes an effort to satisfy him and to fulfill the duties of her new job. And there are, for sure, the loving family and friends who know that both are in love before even they know it themselves. And the white male lead explains to one of his afro-American team mates how to wear a suit properly. "We do it like this." Probably they cut out the n-word.Finally the fathers days: "Yeah, that's my son." Everyone is happy, everybody is successful and gets rich, everybody is WASP. Afterwards I had to open the window to get in some fresh air.I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 because of the female lead whose acting is good.

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.
