Road Trip Romance (2022 TV Movie)
6/10
Rollicking road trip romance with a side of Renaissance and wedding!
17 May 2022
This was a middle of the road the romance which had some brilliance and some awkwardness. The whole girl must get home for her beloved sister's wedding and obstacles keep cropping up worked well. Getting paired up with an old high school nemesis worked well. Having both into the same very niche mechanical toy market...was not only weird but unrealistic, especially as both appear to travel with Barbie doll suitcases set up by a five year old.

I thought the lead actress was great (Natalie Hall) and I liked the male lead (Corey Siever) most of the time but there was some awkwardness at the Renaissance Fair that didn't seem in character even if he was not athletically inclined.

Overall there were some beautiful moments between our two leads...on a stack of hay bails and on the dance floors, probably enough for me to recommend the film to romantics out there. But I would recommend this with the strong warning that there is some uncomfortable awkwardness.

(Yet again Hallmark has killed off the father of the bride. I am not sure if this is an intentional attack on parents and more specificity the family unit, but I have really noticed this trend over the last couple of years.)
