love exclusively...u're the one that got away🎸💖

source: Love Exclusively

The premise of a reporter doing a hit piece is fairly common, but then having her try to bring romance to her two targets is a twist on that. But it never lives up to the possibilities it starts out with. And the scheming gets convoluted. And Allie is a jerk. I like what the reviewer said about her busting up the lovers holding hands during her jog, but the other things she does and her whole attitude cement the issue. She's a liar, a schemer and deserves to be sued. I'm not a fan of entertainment reporters. At one point she says something about the "pap" (paparazzi) as if that's not her, but it is. She seems to be the perfect example. What makes it worse is that she seems to like Carson and still can't keep herself from scheming behind her back. Allie (Haley Webb) and Caleb (James Maslow) spend almost no time together through at least half the movie, except for what are really casual conversations with a little bite in them. And even in the second half, there is basically only one encounter to develop the romance. If there was any chemistry there I didn't care. Now Carson (Britney Underwood) - her story I wanted to see. She's a sweet girl. Her relationship with Matty should have been the focus of the movie, but that wouldn't have fit the premise. It is a strong secondary story which allowed me to add a few stars. The acting isn't good. None of the actors seem natural. Underwood is a little too bubbly. Webb is trying too hard. Webb's Allie is supposed to be pretending, but Webb makes that too obvious. The last part is so predictable it's anticlimactic. Can people really change their spots. This kind of movie always says yes. But in Allie's case, it was asking too much.

I finished the movie with only a few skipping forwards but I regret wasting 90 minutes on this. The music was AWFUL! The actors were ok but the script was mediocre so the result is not worth your attention. There are at least 30 movies with identical plot lines--its highly likely you can find a better one.

Allie wants to make headlines as a journalist and uses her famous childhood friends to try and get there. Her goal is to see if Caleb and Carson are an item. And once Allie finds out they aren't, their agent talks her into making them fall for each other. It'll be good for publicity and sell albums, plus give Allie her story. While spending time with Caleb, Allie develops feelings for him. And her assistant, Matty starts liking Carson as well. But they still try to push Caleb and Carson together for their story. The ending is crystal clear from a mile away, just like all of these movies. Right before Allie and Matty come clean, the agent exposes them in front of a crowd of people. (Even though it was her idea!) Caleb and Carson get upset and it takes a while for them to forgive Allie and Matty. But of course they do and the movie ends with them kissing their partners on stage. Why I gave it 5 stars: The actors are good for their parts and Carson is adorable. Matty and Carson look sweet together and match as a couple. Allie's apology at the end is far better articulated than most in these movies. It was heartfelt and completely humble. She also quit her job in pursuit of a more humanitarian approach to journalism. Caleb and Carson harmonized well together, although something was weird about the sound. And finally, it was satisfying that the agent was fired by both Caleb and Carson.

What a breath of fresh air! This is such a funny, heartfelt movie. The cast is incredible, the soundtrack is amazing and the cinematography (especially the overhead shots of L.A.) is excellent. A movie you can watch with your whole family. Yes I recommend It. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/15/2021

This is a sweet Hallmark movie. Yes it's extremely cheesy but sometimes that's just what you need. As for the other review about her looking like his mother! Wow! We all have a right to our own point of view, mine is not this! She is a very pretty woman & there was some good chemistry between them but they didn't look a good match together. Saying that, I quite like a movie for not picking the obvious two, it's nice if the guy is shorter than the woman or the woman is a little older. He is a singer in real life so I should think that is his voice in the film. Look, in my opinion, if you want hallmark sickly sweet, escape from reality, then this is a sweet film, I enjoyed it. There are definitely worse hallmark films out there

This one just didn't work because the heroine is not a good person. And I'm not even talking about her betraying her friends and her lying all for a fake story that will advance her career as a tabloid journalist. How do I know she's not a good person? In the first scene before all the mess she created even happened, she is running down the sidewalk in her town for her daily work out. She comes upon two innocent pedestrians holding hands and sauntering along. Instead of going around them with a smile and an apology, she bust right through them practically knocking one of them down. She doesn't even stop. She just goes on running while the victims are looking after her in disbelief. I mean, WTF? Who does that? This is not only rude, it is practically assault and battery. Can we get one of her heartfelt apologies and expressions of regret for her just being an entitled jerk, please?

I love watching this movie especially since James Maslow who played Caleb Green is one of my favorite actors and singer ever since he was with the group Big Time Rush.

I'm serious. I love chick flicks but this was the cringiest movie ever. The actors tried but all in all it was bad. You should save your time and find something other to watch. Even ft it's a blank wall.
