So what, it's a corny and cheesy love story, but I like it and it should have rated higher because of that. The end was very funny. The only request I would have made if I had my choice and my way, this would have viewed for me during the Valentine's season instead of in April when it's time for spring love stories. I like to match up the seasons to make it more appropriate for viewing. Just my take though! There's plenty of time for more though. Next time, I'll be more seasonal with my movie choices. I've been doing pretty good with matching up my viewings with the seasons, but this movie was a little off season. But I just considered it a normal love story viewing and that made it OK. It was a really cute movie. And better late than never. There was a super cute old fashioned car at the end that I loved and the humor was awesome as well. I don't know about the other rater who said she couldn't hear the talking that much because of the silly background music, I didn't have too much trouble hearing them. Maybe it was her television or audio source that wasn't good quality. I, too can't appreciate background music that overpowers the acting's voices and I won't give it a good rating because of that either, but this movie was 'bearable listening' coming from my audio source (television).

This is a wonderful, sweet, playful Hallmark movie about romance and comedy.The host of a talk show is funny in a natural sense and not slapstick. Cupid comes along to help her find romance and the true meaning of love. Different relationships intertwine throughout the movie with twists and turns that are enjoyable and unexpected. I really enjoyed the acting and plot of the movie from beginning to end.The only reason I rated this movie a one is because of the continual music in the background, which was really in the foreground, and louder than the speaking parts. The score is the typical Hallmark "bing-bong" music you hear over and over in so many of their movies. It is like listening to a concert and a lecture at the same time, making it difficult to hear every word clearly. There should be no music when the actors are speaking, unless it is a crucial, moving moment, but not continually throughout the regular speaking scenes. This loud continual music is so annoying. My brother says he just turns off their movies now when the music never stops. If you can't hear it all, then you can't rate it well. Watch some of the classic movies. No music in the general talking scenes.

The bassoons are usually the comedians of the orchestra and they out in force in this Valentine Day comedy playing versions of orchestral standards. Anyway, about the movie: The story, such as it is, concerns Eve Lovett (get it?), talk show hostess, and her efforts to save her show and find her own true love. She is in emotional lockdown, but....I don't know how many times I've written almost identical words about various Hallmark Channel comedies, but it really doesn't matter. When the basic story is good, what matters is how you tell it. The people who made this decided to run it as a broad farce with ridiculous details and pulled out all visual stops, including the way they change Jamie Kennedy's outfits and the way that Joely Fisher as Eve is willing to mug it up. The script has a goodly number of funny situations as Miss Fisher and her crack team foul up bit after bit.Visually it's a little too polite for my taste; there are many opportunities to insert a little straight slapstick into the proceedings that are passed up. That, however, is my taste and I am sure that for those who like to think that love is never ridiculous this will be a real winner. Even by my standards, it's pretty good.

I became a fan of Joely Fisher from her 2003—2005 television series, Wild Card, but I have to admit to having encountered very little of her work since.In this Valentine-themed vehicle, Ms. Fisher's character is Eve Lovett (get it?), a hard- and Mercedes-driving, love-deprived talk show host. The "head office" (a.k.a. "Cupid, Inc.") takes notice of her advancement toward middle age, along with her loveless state, and sends a representative (the Ghost Whisperer's Jamie Kennedy) to offer her a deal: successfully set up another couple by Valentine's Day, and her own true love will be revealed. Naturally, not all of Eve's attempts at matchmaking are successful (nor a total failure, either), but who said love is easy? Debra Messing is sometimes credited with being the one to have inherited Lucille Ball's talent for physical comedy, but while most of her work here is dramatic comedy, Joely Fisher isn't so bad in that department, either. Here, she has a subtly humorous "spy scene" involving a friendly plant. (Later, she channels Mary Martin's Peter Pan to somewhat lesser effect.) About halfway through our movie, it threatens to become sappy and trite; but it is quickly redeemed from this (in the words of our star) "technical mistake" by a surprise plot twist. Indeed, this is but one example of the clever elevation of dialog and plot above the ordinary by our scriptwriter, yet unidentified in these IMDb pages (as of this writing).The first half of many TV movies these days seems to drag, whether due to some attempt at character development or just plain filler, leaving all the fun to the climax and conclusion. Not here. The energy grabs one's attention from the outset and sustains throughout the film, making this an effective and engaging flick for cozying up to one's valentine (be it dog or man).
