7.7 stars. The film begins on two middle schooler best friends named Betty and Mya eating lunch. Betty has a crush on an athletic boy and in her own shy way asks him out. Miraculously, he agrees (with a little help from her offering him cookies). Another girl who has a crush on the same boy places a hex on her swearing that disaster will befall her and every future boyfriend. We jump forward 20 years, Betty has a successful career as a "number cruncher", or an actuarial analyst for a corporation. She calculates extremely important data for her CEO to make informed decisions on major acquisitions. Her best friend Mya is engaged. Betty and Mya still do everything together. Betty is still under the curse, so every relationship she's had, she feels has been doomed. She has ended them abruptly for fear of disaster happening to each guy. She finally meets the right man, his name is Alex. He has recently moved into her apartment building. She wishes for this relationship to succeed above all others, because he could be the one. How can she make this work under the shadow of the curse? There is a total dork at her office who has been hitting on her for a while. He's very similar to her in that he loves to solve equations and talk about probability and statistics and all that, but he's not her type. To the audience, he certainly is a full dweeb. He's short, wears a tie that's 6 inches too short and is out of style, he's very thin, and has a creepy mustache. Their interactions are somewhat humorous. Her mother calls often attempting to set up Betty on dates with men. She is concerned about Betty's continuing anxiety about this curse. Betty has grown tired of her mom's meddling, but they still have a good relationship. She tells her mom about Alex and so mom's interference ceases for the time being. Betty continues to fear that the curse will cause Alex's demise. It doesn't help that his job entails some dangerous situations, not to mention he enjoys rugby and camping. She is always citing him statistics about all the risky activities he enjoys, and after while her overprotectiveness becomes a problem. She becomes a bit too overprotective and this only serves to push him away. I enjoyed the film for its many entertaining qualities, whether it's because the dialogue is humorous and witty, or because I also like to analyze stuff and crunch numbers (probably the latter is more indicative). I do fathom why many people dislike the movie. She does seem neurotic, but it's fascinating nonetheless, and she's adorable, so I wear rose colored glasses for 'Betty's Bad Luck in Love'.

I really appreciate how Hallmark tries to come up with new and different variations of their successful romance formula. But this story (about a bad luck childhood curse) was just annoying. It reminded me of "Just My Luck" with Lindsay Lohan, and that's not a good thing. Laci J Mailey (from "Chesapeake Shores") and Marco Grazzini (from "Virgin River") are good looking and engaging leads. Grazzini had the easy aasignment of being smooth and charming and then understandably befuddled by Mailey's character. But Mailey was given the thankless task of being completely neurotic and unhinged throughout much of the movie "... because all the men in her life will have horrible things happen to them if they get too close." I just didn't like the premise. I kept hoping she'd realize the curse was nonsense. But, instead, poor Mailey is constantly forced to act like her character is having a series of panic attacks (in an elevator, at a rugby match, on a camping trip, at a fire, etc.). And they're played for laughs that weren't funny. I also wasn't amused by the MANY scenes involving Felix, the well meaning but socially inept and frankly intrusive office nerd. Fortunately, Mailey's character wasn't unkind, but the moviemakers clearly intended viewers to see him as an object of derision. I was also appalled at the multiple loud talking scenes during yoga classes. It was extremely disrespectful behavior that did not reflect well on the characters. Perhaps the biggest problem with this "love story" is the lack of focus on the love story itself. The lovers were kept apart from each other throughout because of Betty's fear that harm would come to Alex if they were together. Instead of watching these two spend time together and fall in love, we are constantly bombarded with Betty saying she can't be with him. Ugh. I'd like to see the two leads in a different and better movie.

This was a cute romantic comedy mainly because of the two romantic leads and their great chemistry. Both Laci J Mailey and Marco Grazzini are young and attractive and even though the script wasn't perfect they made it work and I enjoyed seeing these two together. The story starts when Betty is in high school. Spurred by her friend Mya she gets up the courage to talk to her crush...only to have a curse put on her by another girl who liked him...fastforward to today when Betty actually crunches statistics for a living doing risk management. Every time she has gotten close to a boyfriend something has happened to him or she has called it off before it can. She has a new neighbor move in, a high risk taking traveling photographer...who doesn't seem daunted by what could happen to him. He even plays rugby! I loved the banter between our two leads and I have to say that the character of Alex was almost too perfect and I loved his apartment's aesthetic! I think most guys would have run from Betty, good thing she is beautiful.

LUNA SOLOMONJan 28, 2024

From start to finish, this movie is a disaster (no pun intended). The interaction between the high school characters was bizarre and not realistic. The messages in the storyline are disturbing especially the stalking aspect. There is nothing romantic or justifiable in stalking. It's just weird and disturbing behavior for anyone. The paying for a jinx cure - bad human behavior. The "my wedding is falling apart I'll take my bff's money." Bad behavior. The rescue scene made no sense at all. The main character just showing up was looney. Did she have a teleportation machine? First she's in the office. Then magically she's at the scene of the fire. Then miraculously she's back in the office. The dancing down the hall to falling down the stairs scene. Foolish. The realization conversation about the curse with the adult version of the teen who hexed the main character. Really? Either Hallmark is just trying to churn out as many new movies as possible or that vetting team needs to be fired because they are sleeping on the job. Even the wedding scene was beyond silly and childish. Who wrote this - a thirteen year old?

...was they didn't set up the main character's history where they SHOWED some of her former boyfriend's mishaps. They showed one, which wasn't funny or dangerous, and that was it. Cut to her talking and talking and talking endlessly about the problem, instead of showing WHY she freaks out so easily. The rest of the script could've used some more structure, and that nerd potential 'boyfriend' subplot was a cliche 40 years ago. This is unfortunate because it wasted an overall good cast. The leads, especially Marco Grazzini is so effortlessly charming, he -- and Lacey J. Mailey deserved much better.

I liked the movie. Premise didn't seem great and hadn't seen luci in anything butChesapeake Shores, but she played her part well. I think the blue contacts are too blue but her face sparkles and shows emotion. She did a really good job and probably needs more chances as hallmark needs new leading ladies. Marco was always okay but he was great here and it worked. They had chemistry , the other characters worked somewhat. I watched it twice already and say it's really good for hallmark and not bad for a regular non hallmark watch. I don't get the review lengthrequirement from IMDb at the large number. I prefer shorter reads as most people do especially when I do t post spoilers.

CamïlaRossïnaJan 26, 2024

I had to double check, I thought it might have been a Reel One Entertainment movie or a Nicely movie, but no it's a Hallmark movie. This is one of the worst Hallmark movies I've ever seen. The script is rubbish and the dialog is terrible. It drags on and on with boring subplots. I think the writer must have been tripping when they wrote this script. The actors aren't totally bad, but even they couldn't salvage a disastrous script. Curses are a cliched plot and add to it the fact that the lead is a risk manager and it was all downhill. I fast forwarded through boring scenes and repetitious dialog. I liked Marco Grazzini and some of the support staff.

Acting was decent, but the story-line needs some revamping. This starts off cute enough, I mean what 6th-8th grader wouldn't want to think they had enough power over someone to completely change their behavior. Even more so that the person actually believes it was true for long into adulthood, ha, that's funny! But, really 20 years later and this ditz is still believing in this stuff!? Ugh, life happens. We grow up. We learn that not everything has a reason, sometimes stuff just is...but to keep dumping boyfriend after boyfriend for no reason other than this mysterious curse and claim it's because she doesn't want the person to get hurt?! Seriously, that's just an EXCUSE to "fear commitment"! The fact this new person keeps putting up with her ridiculous constant breaking up with him is baffling. I get it, he's in love with her, but why? Nothing showed any substance of why he should be so head-over-heals in love with this woman that he would put up with this BS. He's more than good looking, so it's not that unless he's that super insecure, but his character doesn't give off that vibe. This would have been better as a fantasy romance and change it to she didn't believe until all these things started happening to her and the schoolmate really was a witch and they had to undo the curse. As it stands the reaction is a normal reaction by an adult years later forgetting the way they treated the other person and having no idea what the blazes was going on... Curse ad nauseam much! Ugh! By the end I was glad my curse of choosing to watch this was over. Overall, the acting was decent, but the story was lacking, the characters reasons for staying together is weak considering her previous abandonment, I mean if it's from love and not commitment issues, why would this one be any different????

If someone was at the level of risk avoidance, they would have to be entered into a psychiatric hospital. The constant freaking out got really annoying and draining to watch. In the real world, someone like the main character Alex, wouldn't be with her ever. I felt the movie dragged on. It would have been nice if there was some more character development on the female lead roles part. If it's a rainy day with nothing to do, feel free to watch but if you want an enjoyable Hallmark movie for the night, this wasn't it for me. I saw 6.9 rating and was excited to watch it, but everyone has their own cup of tea for movies I guess.
