TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 18 An Unexpected Valentine is a familiar, cozy entry in the Hallmark romance lineup that delivers exactly what you expect, for better and worse. Starring Lacey Chabert, the film leans heavily into comfort viewing, offering a light Valentine’s Day mystery built around a lost engagement ring and an Uber driver retracing past passengers. The premise is actually charming and gives the story a sense of momentum which helps keep it engaging Chabert is warm and reliable as always, carrying the film with ease even when the screenplay starts to wobble. And wobble it does. The story is filled with plot holes and odd choices, including a bizarre chocolate-themed subplot that clashes with basic logic. These moments don’t ruin the movie but they do make it feel thin and undercooked The romance is pleasant but flat, never quite reaching a memorable emotional payoff. The cast is likable, the tone is gentle, and the direction plays everything safely. In the end, this is a cute, disposable Hallmark film See more Horror fan 4 Oct 17 A fun film filled with 2 great leading characters. The story is sweet and the location is wonderful.

Which is an interesting way to film. Only one costume for the entire movie which was such a treat,” Lacey said. So while Lacey may have liked this new way to do rom-coms I did not like this movie. Yes, I'm still a fan of Lacey films like the 2021 film Sweet Carolina, but this one No. See more Bon B 02/02/2025 Love, Lacey movies, but this did not really hold my interest. Predictably boring but it did have a really cute ending. See more Suzanne G 02/02/2025 Very clever take on two people falling for each other. Fast-paced, good banter with joking and teasing... we get to see their attraction grow through a ride through NYC on Valentine's Day/Evening. Romance without being cloying. Several scenes that made me laugh and/or smile. All forms of Valentine dates and celebrations with couples and families that were both sweet and charming. Loved it! See more Read all reviews
