The Love Advisor (2023 TV Movie)

Bad acting
24 January 2024
Most of the acting was bad including some of the less significant roles. Sarah Malfara as Serena was either a horrible actor or more likely she was directed to be far too shallow and condescending and, well, totally annoying. It might have been a little of both. The Serena character was so bad, it distracted from the entire movie. It would have been more effective if she was a little more subtle, but still demanding. Tyler Harlow was also bad. The character was fine, but Harlow suffered from what I sometimes say about less experienced actors - he seemed like he was making an effort to deliver the lines. They weren't coming out naturally. Rachel Vallori was OK as Abby. Her character was likeable.

It is hard to imagine how Abby and Serena's situation got started in the first place given how much Serena depended on her. It was more than the fact she was demanding. This becomes clear during the scene where Jack was present while Serena was doing the show and Abby was feeding her lines.

The story wasn't that much different from a typical rom/com where a reporter spends a lot of time with a subject of his article, except that in this case Abby was a stand-in for Serena for a while. It wasn't hard to figure out how things would progress to the end.

I didn't notice any significant sound or technical issues.
