Stepping into Love (2023 TV Movie)
5/10
Very annoying lead
8 September 2023
More of the usual stuff. Claire has to save the museum and if she does she gets a promotion. She is a rigid rule follower and oppresses those around her with them. She has an ex who wants to get back together. Devan is seat-of-the-pants artist that Claire needs to save the museum. This might be OK, but Devan goes out of his way to frustrate Claire's rules and worse he is arrogant and extremely rude. They are both annoying. These attitudes last way too long, well past the second commercial break. At about the 1/3rd point, all this changes miraculously and instantly which is pretty common in these movies.

There are some small attempts at comedy. The pair stumble from one situation to another that threatens disaster and they find creative ways to smooth things over.

This is another GAF movie with a less than stellar cast. I've seen Jenna Michno once before and didn't think much of her. I've never seen Christian Howard before. Neither actor is bad. They just aren't polished and don't have enough chemistry to pull me in. Not only did I not feel the connection, but it didn't really feel like their characters were a couple.

The Rick and Claire story of trying to reunite, mostly in Rick's mind, did nothing for me.

Overall, there are no great highs or lows or big surprises. The ending is way to cheesy.
