The Attraction Test (2022 TV Movie)
7/10
Stick with it
6 March 2024
The lead characters are very unlikeable at the beginning. Ryan is horribly rude at the flower shop and then doubles down by embarrassing Brooke at her presentation. He lies back on her couch with his shoes on it while they talk through the coming test run. She is the cliche of a PhD who believes that science trumps feelings and that love can be measured with biometric devices.

And then like most of the other movies in this genre, they instantly drop all the animosity and warm up to each other and completely forget the horrible start. Even the acting, which starts out as poor, gets better and the two seem almost natural. Some of the supporting cast, like Brooke's boss, are poor throughout.

Predictably, the audience knows where this is going. The conflict or bump in the road was pretty tame. Along the way there were plenty of the usual tropes. Some of the dialogue was a little catchy.

Despite some rough spots, I found myself enjoying the movie once it got past the ridiculously overplayed animosity. (The personalities displayed there were not true to the real characters.)
