Just My Type (2020 TV Movie)
7/10
I liked it but there were some misses.

Great story! Great acting! Zero chemistry. The leads seemed more like very good friends who were very comfortable with each other. There wasn't a hint of chemistry until the very end and it was sort of lackluster. The two girl friends had a much more enjoyable relationship. They were actually like very good friends and acting and saying things that good friends would. Completely natural with each other and like they've been best friends for 10 years. That was really fun to watch! The gas station seeing at the five-minute mark had me laughing so hard. I really needed that today. It was really the most ridiculous thing but I think I've seen in a Hallmark movie. There was like a rack of artificial flowers for Michael standing in front of a gas pump! I kid you not. Then there were more racks of flowers up against the wall of the convenient store. And one of the doors at the convenient store had artificial floral garland wrapped around it. That's just the beginning of the flower fiasco. There were artificial flowers everywhere. Wrapped around fence railings outside, crammed into vases in every nook and cranny of all the dwellings including the single guys house! Even for Hallmark this was waaaaaaaay over the top. You don't shove the idea that this is a "spring" movie down peoples throats by putting artificial flowers in every single scene. It is obvious they are artificial! Oy vay. Then she had some kind of poisonous reaction like poison ivy to something they called blanket flower. I looked it up and blanket flower looks nothing like the artificial bush from Michael's she pulled out of the ground. It really looks like a Gerber Daisy and it's not poisonous at all. Fail. I'm happy to see this was an adult movie. There we are no children to appease. There was almost no festival but they did not make it into a big thing. There is no snowman making contest or pie making contest, etc. So glad that corniness was left out. If it weren't for the abundant artificial flowers that annoyed me in pretty much every single scene and lack of chemistry, this movie would've been a 10! I really liked them together but I just never felt romance. Maybe off-camera they are too friendly with each other to be able to fake the romance on screen? Or maybe they actually don't like each other off camera? They are both great actors but it just didn't happen. I'm not sure I would watch this one again.
