My Birthday Romance

A vacation to romance--a dessert of delight. Ali showed her acting chops. Who could not love Ali Cobrin? Choosing between her catering future and relational desert was played well by Cobrin.

The direction by Doyle showed a delicate skill portraying relational awkwardness and angst. Slow at first, the screenplay evolved into a delightfully predictable conclusion. Sea horses indeed.

Thanks for this romantic interlude. Sometimes love is this rich, delectably rich.

Although not strictly a Hallmark movie but that is the genre that we're talking about here. As such the plot is pretty well worn and there are better versions floating around. The acting is decent as is the chemistry between the various cast members. Dialog slightly above average.

I watched the whole thing and suffered no stomach discomfort and no regrets in the end. Didn't even hit the fast forward once. If you're in the mood for a little romance movie you could do worse.

Sure, while the 2020 romantic movie titled "My Birthday Romance" was indeed a watchable and enjoyable movie, it was at the same time still a very stereotypical and generic movie for this particular genre.

What made "My Birthday Romance" was having an interesting storyline, one that was light-hearted and yet managing to having a very realistic feel to it. Sure, it was an archetypical sappy romantic story, but hey that is what these movies are like.

Something that definitely also made "My Birthday Romance" work, was the chemistry on the screen between the lead actress Ali Cobrin and actor Jesse Hutch. They were so nicely cast for the movie and they really wear great together on the screen. Both of them had a very believable aura to their performance.

It was also nice to see Garry Chalk on the screen in this movie, and he was also nicely cast for his role.

If you enjoy romantic movies, then I will definitely recommend that you sit down to watch the 2020 movie "My Birthday Romance" from writer John Hartman and director Heather Hawthorn Doyle.

A movie such as this usually falls out of my normal spectrum of genre that I watch. But this was definitely an enjoyable movie.

My rating of "My Birthday Romance" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Bad dialog. Bad story. Bad acting except for Charles Cottier who plays the brother Will. He reminds very much of a young David Arquette.

It's just a terrible and painful movie.

The fake boyfriend is a top very familiar theme. In this case working more than decent for actors chemistry, some tender moments, for humor and reasonable cliches. Short- a dark hair Prince Charming, a young lady under pressure of family and a sort of mutual help with predictable end. So, just nice.
