Moviecut—Flip That Romance

Fun, cute, and enjoyable one! Love the flipping of the property, decor, and the results!! One of my favs!!!

You're never gonna get too much deviation from a typical Hallmark storyline - past relationship, running away, death of a loved one, misunderstanding etc. This one had a novel twist of Julie Gonzalo & Tyler Haynes as past lovers, doing up one side each of a duplex, which first becomes fiercely competitive between the two and then becomes National as a magazine gets people to vote which property is now the best. Both leads were good in this role although Julie's character is a bit oversensitive. Pretty good.

They had conflict from the beginning. The female lead was very believable. You want her to win, but in the end you just want the two main leads to find romance with each other. I know some of the people think it is the same plot, but isn't all romance similar? you want the man and woman to find love by the end.

This was a fun movie combining the familiar Hallmark plot sequence with a house flipping twist. In the end, the contest for the best flip totaled 16,408 votes, and the winning margin was 9 votes. ??? There can't be a difference of 9 votes if the total number of votes is an even number. Just saying.

I realized I got sick of the fighting and banter really quickly. It was annoying and honestly I was not rooting for them to get together and was glad when the movie was over. Sorry.

Had to stop after 35 minutes. They had no chemistry. They acted like 3 year olds...and not cute ones, and they took major liberties with construction principles. ( you can't break through the wall between duplexes with a hammer ...it's a firewall ) The supporting cast were the most engaging part of the movie.

Jules Briggs (Julie Gonzalo) is shocked to find that former lover and rival house flipper Lance Waddell (Tyler Hynes) has returned to town to help his father. The combative duo fight over the same property in a public auction. She ends up overpaying. It turns out that he's working on the other side of the same duplex. They challenge each other to a bet and it becomes a media story. She's good at being flustered. He's fine at provoking her although he could be better. Their chemistry is good. It's fine as a Hallmark romance. I expect that Gonzalo will continue to be a Hallmark regular. Hynes has a simple unthreatening persona which Hallmark seems to like. Quite frankly, I'd like to see Gonzalo be teamed up with a more energetic partner and set up a more combative chemistry.
