Purple Hearts (2022)
Pleasantly Sweet
It's important to remember that's this is a romance drama staring Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine. It isn't going to feature academy award winning acting, but it also doesn't mean it's horrible either. I actually really liked this movie, more than I expected. Sofia Carson also exceeded my expectations. Nicholas was better than he was in Cinderella and had more chemistry with his female lead, which is kind of setting the bar low. But I personally disagree with the NYT review of the movie. I think this is one of the better novel to screen romance dramas on Netflix. I actually liked the story and while the pacing dragged a bit, it flowed right without cheap plot devices. There's so miracle that keeps him from going to jail and in the end, they all learn their respective lessons. I would actually watch this movie again.
A Perfect Pairing (2022)
Surprisingly Good
I expected the usual romantic comedy, with a cliche plot, cheesy writing, and standard acting. But I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed this film.
Victoria Justice was never my favorite actress but she was actually really good in this. Her acting seemed more natural than the usual actresses that get casted in these types of movies. She had a good amount of chemistry with her male lead which made the movie easy to watch.
I really liked how her character wasn't the usual over the top American female who suddenly turns into some clumsy fool who squeels after stepping in mud. Sure, Lola did some of that but it was admirable the way she embraced Australia and work on the farm.
The plot, while enjoyable, is pretty standard. The male lead is hiding a secret, which is revealed after being intimate with the female. She feels betrayed after they both opened up to each other, blah blah blah.
Have I seen this story before? Absolutely. But this movie is enjoyable if you like the familiar pacing of a rom com.
Destination Wedding (2018)
It gives you a new perspective of love.
The plot follows the basic rom com format: they meet, slowly become friends and help each other resolve their conflicts, hook up, break up/ the big fight, period of separation, and the big ending where they realize they love each other and reunite. What makes this a great movie and sets it apart from others, is the witty dialogue and the reality of a relationship. The romance is a different style and it's refreshing. I really enjoyed this movie.
