Movie: Love On the Rise (2019) *

Nineteen minutes in and not only am I bored, but I’ve come upon a storyline much like True Love Blooms. A local baker is working hard to make a name for herself when she meets a cute “waiter” at a wedding she created a cake for. Turns out the “waiter” is really a developer who was in the wrong place at the right time to meet her. It also turns out his development company is planning to bulldoze the building where her shop is so they can build condos. Her and her bestie plan a protest. This is where I pressed stop.
Love on the Rise is a Mar Vista production, meaning that it has a 85% chance of being a good quality b-level romance movie. This one was not. The writing was boring. The production looked and felt thrown together and I just didn’t like it.
  • Cheesy or sentimental: Cheesy 
  • Production value: Bad Mar Vista production 
  • Suspension of belief: high 
  • Trope: Enemies-become-lovers 
  • Diversity: I didn't see any in the 19 minutes I watched. 
  • Paranormal: None 
  • Clownish character: None
Rating: Not Fun; One star*
I watched this on Hoopla.
