Love at First Glance (2017 TV Movie)
7/10
I think this was the most unusual romantic hallmark movie I have ever seen.
6 May 2023
Unlike other Hallmark romantic films, this film has our romantic leads seeing (that's all they do to is see one another and have a brief non-verbal communication) each other briefly on the subway and then not seeing each other again until the end of the movie. It was really unique and for me it worked.

"At the end of the day what gives our lives meaning is how we are loved."

After being dumped by her fiancé, who accused her of being boring, soft article reporter Mary has a brief non-verbal encounter with a young handsome man on the subway. He subsequently leaves his phone by accident, Mary tries to return it to the subway's lost and found but is turned away by the apathy. Trying to locate his phone, the phone owner (mystery subway rider James) texts Mary to let her know he will be out of the country until February. This gives Mary an idea to pitch a story about doing an article about James and he agrees and says through his phone she has access to everyone who knows him.

Mary ends up not only learning about James, but learning about herself as she tangos with a stranger, sky dives, and adopts a dog!

This really was sweet and fun. A unique story about love and self discovery. If you are a romantic, I think you will love it. I also think you will enjoy it if you are looking for something just a little different than the usual hallmark fare.

"Girl with red shoes...perhaps it should be called hopeful."
