My Secret Valentine (2018 TV Movie)
8/10
Enjoyable And Humorous Romance
12 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This Hallmark romance is quite enjoyable. The story is about Chloe (Lacey Chabert), manager of a restaurant, who goes back home to visit her father just before the annual Valentine's Day Festival. He is deciding whether or not to sell the family vineyard. Also in attendance is Seth (Andrew W. Walker), a buyer who represents a company that wants to acquire the business.

Chloe immediately dislikes Seth because of his intentions. She is strongly opposed to selling the family business.

She is also intrigued by a person who is renting the family cottage. She has never met him, but they leave messages for each other on a chalkboard in the cottage. He is very helpful in making small repairs to the old property, and she appreciates it.

What makes this story so enjoyable is Lacey Chabert's portrayal, and the chemistry between her and Andrew Walker. Their repartee is well-written, giving the film a humorous foundation.

The spoiler is that this is a variation on "The Shop Around the Corner", "You've Got Mail", and the other films that are adaptations of the original Hungarian story.
