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.
