Summer at Charlotte's (2023)
Skip this one
What a slow, terrible romcom. Everyone is talking as if they're at a funeral. Zero chemistry between any of the actors and most of them sound as if they're reading from a script, the male lead being the worst example of this.
A soon-to-be married woman in her (late) 30's returns to her grandma's "cottage" and reunites with her childhood best friend, Dev. Cue 1h23m of these adults complaining over "not being the same as they were 15 years ago". Who'd want to be???
Oh, and she forgets to mention that she's engaged. You can figure out the rest.
Don't waste your time on this snooze fest of a movie.
The Love Club (2023)
Insufferable
I watch romcoms for a living. This is one of the worst I've ever seen.
Four awful, AWFUL women befriend each other and eggs each other on in lying and deception.
Nicole, the queen bee of obnoxiousness, stalks a self-loathing shell of a man, only to become furious at his lie ten years ago, when she herself has spent the entire story emotionally cheating on her soon-to-be husband.
The last time i felt this disgusted by a character was when I saw the tunnel scene in Gaspar Noé's Irreversible. The first movie, Nicole's Pen Pal, is probably what will make me change career. So thanks for that, I guess.
It's safe to say I won't be watching more of this series, and everyone involved in this project sjould be ashamed of themselves for making this garbage come to life.
Love at Sunset Terrace (2020)
Male lead is awful
Sophie and the kid are really good, but the male lead ruined it for me. It feels like he's bored out of his mind, reading from a script with no enthusiasm at all. Bad actor.
Deck the Heart (2021)
Awful script
Strange interactions, completely pointless scenes. The male lead just walks around asking Merry if she needs help. He's supposed to be likeable ut comes off as a total creep. We're supposed to like him because he's some rich hotshot but still says "keep the change" at the café. Zero chemistry between the lead actors, and it's not because they're bad, but because they have NOTHING to work with with this terrible script. Every Candice T. Cain movie I've seen has this stale, amateurish dialogue. And the story? Merry works in this little house (that we're supposed to think is huge, by the way) for two weeks and still the work she has done by then could be done in a couple of hours. Ridiculous. The only reason I'm not giving it a 1 is because the female lead and especially her best friend are not bad actors - they just had to work with this cringeworthy script.
