My Rating:
My Thoughts:
Adventures in Love and Babysitting is a movie that shouldn’t be judged by how it doesn’t look to be like a good movie. I made that mistake, but I am happy that I liked watching it.
Tammin Sursok did an amazing job as Maggie, and I love her portrayal of rule-following and making sure everything is done right. She is pretty much running herself thin in this movie by trying to do a lot of things until Alex gets her to try to settle down a bit to enjoy what they are doing.
Travis Van Winkle also did a fantastic job on Alex, and I love his portrayal of the guy that is a big goofball but also has his own start-up carpentry business. He has matured a lot from the first time we saw them in college to when they had dinner at their friend’s house eleven years later.
The chemistry between Tammin and Travis was there, and I did like how they showed it.
It was filmed in Los Angeles, and I love that they actually did. The sets that they were using for various spots played greatly in the film. The way that they help each other out in the story is honestly great to see even if Alex does more of that than Maggie, who is always apologizing.
The one problem I had was that I thought that they rushed the ending of it a bit, but I understand that when you only have so much time allowed for how long the actual movie is before the commercials are added to it.
This movie was previously Bound and Babysitting, which initially premiered on the PixL network on January 1, 2015.
