Game of Love Movie Reviews

Better the 2nd time around…

Okay, bear with me, as I’ve actually watched this twice.

The first time — wasn’t impressed at all. It seemed like we watched the leads arguing at work, then while out on a walk, then back at the cubicle, then out on another walk, rinse and repeat. No chemistry.

Then I caught it again tonight, from the very beginning. Maybe I was in a better mood, but whatever — I had a completely different reaction. Well, maybe not completely, but it was indeed quite well done, there IS genuine chemistry between the leads, and while not exactly Shakespeare, there’s more to the story than a couple of people trying to come up with a new board game in a month.

If you watch closely, you’ll see the growing attraction and admiration between the characters played by Brooks Darnell and the always reliable Kimberley Sustad. What seemed a little forced on first viewing wasn’t that. I think I was probably busy making dinner or whatever, but the chemistry is there.

Their acting is also very natural and believable. The same can’t be said for the guy who played the ‘love advisor’, but that could be the director’s fault. The young asian actress was a little overcaffeinated at times, but again…probably instructed to act that way.

And Sustad has the best scene and does the best job, near the end, when she tearfully realizes how her character has pushed people away, leaving her alone, and that teamwork and connecting is a far better option than being alone. That’s not a ‘subplot’ as another reviewer suggested — it’s THE theme — the lesson — of the movie.

Oh, and if Darien Martin is reading this? Get a new agent. You’re a good actor, and shouldn’t be settling for 1-minute walk-ons. 🙂

Interesting plot, great chemistry

The premise for this movie was a little goofy but the genius of it became clear in the second half. Kimberly Sustad is great in anything she’s in but she was perfect here at showing how an awkward loner could be brought out of her shell by working with others and learning to love. And Brooks Darnell was a pleasant surprise and a perfect counterpoint to Kimberly’s character. I also lived the Boardwalk store. This is not the first time that a place where people play board games has appeared in a Hallmark movie, but it works especially well here and is important to the storyline. I wish there were one in my town!

Sustad and Darnell

The story is pretty much along common lines for a Hallmark Saturday night. The leads, Audrey and Matthew, must work together for a work project. In this case they are to develop a new board game. The goal of the game is about bringing the players together in love. Audrey and Matthew start out totally at cross purposes. Is it any surprise that the game development and the story seem to parallel each other and that being the case it is likewise not surprising that the whole thing is pretty predictable. I hesitate to call it a subplot because it is embedded in the story, but if you will, a subplot is Audrey learning to accept help from others.

I was a little surprised at how the conflict developed but I can’t expand on that without giving a spoiler.

Audrey, at the beginning, is quite the narcissist and I found that difficult to accept in the usually appealing Kimberley Sustad. It’s not that Sustad doesn’t play the part well, but more that my familiarity with the actor is such that I didn’t want her to act that way. It’s inevitable that Audrey’s personality will undergo a 180 degree change, but I was surprised how long that took. Brooks Darnell did an excellent job across from her and after she lightened up there was good chemistry.

The dialogue and comedy are ok but not sparkling. I was happy that the movie didn’t depend on overly exaggerated silly situations for laughs. Both Sustad and Darnell have good delivery and timing. I would definitely say that it was their mutual performance that was the most appealing part of this movie, but I’m not quite sure how much I will want to watch this again.
