L'amour sous le citronnier

source: Love Under the Lemon Tree

NOT Hallmark quality. Bullock's acting is over the top, but that's probably how it was written. Many of the actors were stilted, but everyone has to start somewhere. The cabins? Good storyline. They were clean but not decorated. So MUCH of the storyline had no continuity. No printer for the photos, no mention of Alice painting. Airplane ride, no camera. Rival photographer nuances evil with a good heart. It was weird. There were no smooth segues, darn near every scene was thrown at the viewer, like a photo out of sync. It was a better storyline than most of these chick flick romance movies, but it fails insofar as it treats the viewer as if they are 10 yrs old. This movie could have been so much better if attention to detail and a little more time would have been used. Scenery was beautiful. Lemons usually ripen in the winter/colder months in the USA. Night starlight doesn't turn on & off like a filament light. Do not watch it with your mind, turn your emotions to 1/3 & you'll get thru it. It passes the time.

Loved the backdrop of Catalina Island. That in itself was truly amazing. Anthony Coons was outstanding as a widowed Husband and Father. When he explained how his Dad got burned before you understood why he was so leery of Beck. There is nothing wrong with having to earn trust. When the trust was earned though their chemistry exploded. Bravo Anthony and Beck. Please keep these movies coming. Totally enjoyable!!!

The movie is set in a beautiful location. It was a charming city location and lemon tree farm. The lemon clearly looked fake as they were places everywhere! But what got me was the story. It could have been very straightforward and the main plot was with the photography competition but the B plots were too much! The competitive famous photographer? Was she good or bad? A failed pilot career? Mysteriously super nice cabins that are ready for anyone to live in when they didn't have time to clean them? The weird social media phobia about his wife that passed away? It had nothing to do with the farm or harming it?!!! What was that random plot that was thrown in? Also where was the lady printing all these photos? She didn't have a printer and I don't think the cabin came with one. I thought the cabins were for farm workers. At the end of the movie there is a crazy long running sequence. I've so ever seen someone run soooo much! Through the farm, the streets, the store, chasing a cruise like boat we've never seen before. Also does this farm also grow limes? Cause that seems to be the secret ingredient in the lemonade. The ocean area could be a great location for a different movie, it's a very photogenic place.

The movie plot starts with a good pace, and gives you the perfect story that you have been waiting for. The cinematography is really nice. The destinations selected for the screenplay is awesome and brings out the user's interest in the movie. Although I kinda feel that it they rushed the story in the ending. Maddison Bullock's acting in the movie has to be appreciated. She brings out the best of her to attract viewer's attention. Anthony Coons' acting was spectacular. James Hyde just shows out the true feeling to his character. In conclusion, it is a really good movie and worth your 90 minutes.

The fountain in the plazza , the lemon groves, the airplai, the lemonade of young Alice, the small houses are keys of seduction for this nice Hallmark film, mixing familiar ingredients and well known crumbs of stories. Provocative remains the opinion about Madison Bullock. Her effort to convince the public seems too high and the reactions of character exagerated. But she propose a good work and this is important thing. Elyse Mirto and James Hyde are, for many motives, the real stars of film, the love of their characters, the steps of relation and , sure, the dialogue , being the fair motif for write this. Not the last,Casey O 'Keefe proposes a sort of gentle poetry to story, grace the way to explore the sides of her character. Mia Sandler is just inspired option for the role of Alice. So, a correct Hallmark film.

The movie starts out with a common premise - young woman loses her job and wants to enter a contest to relaunch her career. She goes to Serenity Island where her parents took her as a child and she learned to love photography. Meanwhile Josh's lemon farm is in trouble, so they team together to save it. The story follows some of the same old formulas through to a predictable ending. I'm not a fan of the big secret trope and in this case, it's more of an outright lie and continued deception by Beck. The misunderstanding balloons creating the usual conflict. The reconciliation has an interesting twist though. Maddison Bullock is very full of positive energy as Beck, but she seems a little unpolished. She seems to be trying too hard. This actress bears watching though. Anthony Coons just doesn't seem comfortable in the role. Coons and Bullock manage some decent chemistry probably thanks mostly to Bullock.
