Review of Rome in Love

Rome in Love (2019 TV Movie)
6/10
Above Average Hallmark Romance
26 August 2019
First the good: The setting is fantastic. This is a far cry from the usual cookie cutter setting of TV movies. The lead actress was quite good, and some of the supporting cast did their jobs admirably. The plot isn't as painfully obvious as most Hallmark movies.

Now the bad:

The lead actor's hair often looked straight out of 1995. The lead actress was pregnant, almost to the point of distraction. The entire conceit of the story seems incredibly unrealistic, but I guess I have to let that slide. It's just so hard to ignore it when it leads to virtually every other plot point in the movie. And then finally, the leads were a bit stiff with each other. Some scenes make you picture them more as brother and sister than anything else.

Overall, I think the good outweighs the bad, and I'd rank this movie ahead of typical Hallmark quality.
