Cinderella, the Prince Charming, the Witch ( bad- good). And a fake fairy tale , in the frame of editor work and generousity - anonymous - of a young philantropist. The film is saved by Morgan Fairchild , reminding more a character of Beverly novels than a writer of them. Lindsay Hartley is the worst option for the role of Natalie.
Oy! I love Hallmark Movies. They are a guilty, wonderful pleasure. However, the lead actress, Lindsay Hartley, is grossly miscast and horribly declamatory in this role. The acting is just so awful. I couldn't get past it to enjoy any part of the story.
I see why this one airs rarely. Not a fan favorite.
From the scenes, characters, the plot, down to the music, this movie is so much like The Devil Wears Prada. Very unoriginal.
Lindsay Hartley is a book editor working out of Portland Oregon with a great head for pulling the best points out of a book and a lousy heart for picking guys to fall in love with. So, when her best friend calls her down to Los Angeles to edit best-selling author Morgan Fairchild's latest trashy romance novel, she finds herself trapped between Miss Fairchild's take-it-or-leave-it attitude and two guys. One of the guys looks perfect on paper; he's a rising entertainment lawyer. The other is a nice ne'er-do-well.
Well, it's a Hallmark romantic comedy, so we know how it will turn out, complete with the well-mannered Black boy Lindsay and the nice guy mentor. Nonetheless, director Ron Oliver gets some good performances out of his actors. Morgan Fairchild shows some subtlety and frozen humor in her role, quite at odds with the writing. In fact, the script seems to have extraneous issues stripped out to pace the whole show faster and funnier than it rates to be.
It's still not great, but it is a very watchable time-waster.

This lovely movie has more plots than most of the genre because the characters have good age spread, range of ethnicities, personal lives and employment and home situations. Most viewers would find something to connect with.

- GoofsIn the garden scene with Lindsay and the young boy take note of the large yellow sign with "Thyme" written on it just over her left shoulder in the distance: It appears in most of the shots but is completely missing in one of them.
