Love on the Sidelines Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
a_clee What you need in a film like this is an attractive young woman who can act; a presentable male lead who can act; and a genuine story involving characters who you feel able to care about. Everyone knows what the plot is and how the story ends, so the mystery and interest lies in the journey as opposed to the destination.Emily Kinney is a very attractive woman who acts very well. She brings a lot of charm and warmth to her role and male viewers induced by their female friends to watch this film will find her likable and pleasing to watch. John Reardon is suitable to be a male lead and looks like he might be a professional sportsman; he also can act the part. The story is predictable but engaging and well written, with well observed characters and situations. The correct boxes are ticked and more than this, the film is a good entertainment; which after all is the whole point of a film such as this.
edwagreen The usual Hallmark fanfare, but it is nicely done. When a star football played is injured, he fires his assistant and as no one else is available, the agency sends a female. The guy really shows his sexist tenets by not really wanting her and becoming very standoffish.Invariably, love shall blossom for the two of them. The idea that he thought that she was involved with his fellow team mate instead of the fact that the latter had become involved with his own sister was somewhat difficult to fathom, but I guess that was needed to further the plot along.This chauvinistic guy comes down to reality and realizes that she is the girl for him, not that model who kept throwing herself at him.The assistant shows the typical female side regarding her ignorance of football.
Zettelhead This movie is mainly a agglomeration of conservative white American clichés. There are about 3 funny scenes in it, the rest just follows the romcom-chickflick-stereotype you have seen 1000 times before:The stubborn male lead is just concerned about his male issues, while the insecure female lead makes an effort to satisfy him and to fulfill the duties of her new job. And there are, for sure, the loving family and friends who know that both are in love before even they know it themselves. And the white male lead explains to one of his afro-American team mates how to wear a suit properly. "We do it like this." Probably they cut out the n-word.Finally the fathers days: "Yeah, that's my son." Everyone is happy, everybody is successful and gets rich, everybody is WASP. Afterwards I had to open the window to get in some fresh air.I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 because of the female lead whose acting is good.
annettelevin I saw this charming movie at a sneak preview at the USC School of Cinema a few nights ago. Emily Kinney was present for a Q&A. She is wonderful in this movie and there's great chemistry between her and John Reardon who plays the role of Danny Holland. Emily reminds me of a young Judy Holiday and she has great comic timing.The story is about a young woman (Emily Kinney) who lands a job as a personal assistant to a slightly chauvinistic and egotistic star quarterback who is sidelined with an injury. He never had a female assistant, and she knows nothing about football. There's great banter between the two and the side characters are fun and more than the usual stereotypes. There's also a small role featuring legendary NFL quarterback, Joe Theismann (as Danny's father).
