The Love Subscription

In this style movie, it is usually the female lead who is outgoing, upbeat and even a little perky. Male leads tend to be reserved and harder to like. In this movie, Grant was the likeable one. He was totally upbeat and, for a guy, almost perky. Lillian wasn't totally withdrawn, but reserved by comparison. He is the likeable one.

There isn't a lot of depth to the story and no great highs or lows or surprises, but the story keeps the two leads together for a lot of screen time which enhances watching the relationship develop. Carolina Bartczak and Chad Connell have good chemistry. The dialogue is good. The sets are basic and a lot of scenes appear to be shot outside including what looks like real snow and vapor in their breathing. I hate the movies which are supposed to be winter and there are little piles of snow here and there which would never occur naturally. I didn't notice the background music which is a good thing.

The conflict is twofold. One is a common misunderstanding. The other is a little bit of a twist that involves a crazy mistake that seems very unlikely, but it serves its purpose and leads to a nice ending.

This movie isn't going to stand out as exceptional, but it is enjoyable.
