Reel Love Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Harriet Deltubbo The real centerpiece of the film is its acting; three performances in particular stick out. It's fun seeing Burt Reynolds as a ladies' man, but This is not a great movie. LeAnn Rimes is trying to make it as an actress, and she can do well in a variety of roles. The cinematography is stark and bare, with only the soundtrack adding some effect. The only thing that keeps it afloat is the sensitivity of the bilaterally desperately needy relationship depicted. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them.
TxMike It is amazing to realize LeAnn Rimes is 30 in 2012. I have been aware of her for over half her life, she was already a #1 recording artist when she was 14 years old. Over the years she is one of the singers I really enjoy, such a rich and powerful voice. Like a young Patsy Cline.Well here she is in a made-for-TV movie, she is Holly Whitman , Chicago lawyer originally from a small community in Alabama. When her dad has an emergency admittance to the hospital she borrows her lawyer boyfriend's car (this becomes an essential part of the story) and drives nonstop to see her dad. Unfortunately something in small country road near home distracts her and she has a minor wreck, but enough that the fancy car needs body work and painting.As it turns out the guy in town who does superb body work and painting is Shawn Roberts as Jay. He is handsome and level-headed, and nothing that Holly expected to encounter here. He is not your usual grease monkey and eventually Jay begins to make Holly forget about her boyfriend in Chicago. But he does show up unannounced and that creates more story twists.It was fun seeing ancient Burt Reynolds, once a big "ladies man", playing Holly's old dad Wade Whitman . There is a running background story about a world-record bass in the local lake that Wade has been watching and coveting for years.This is not a great movie by any means, in fact it is just "pleasant". I enjoyed it for LeAnn Rimes. She doesn't sing at all, she apparently is trying to make it as an actress and does a credible job. I don't see her ever becoming a top box office star but from her performance here I'd say she can do well in a variety of roles. Filmed in Canada.
