Elevator Girl (2010)

I love this movie so much

Thanks for the memories!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I really liked this movie. It was much more realistic than a lot of other movies on Hallmark-two people who lead two vastly different lives but want to be together. Don't get me wrong I enjoy Hallmark movies a lot but sometimes you want something that seems more real and less over the top cheesy love. The couple had actual arguments I'd imagine really do happen with real couples and it brought home a main premise (or at least what I thought was the main premise) of the story: compromise and realization of one's self. The supporting actors are people who we probably all have in our lives; friends who don't always support, at least initially, who our significant other is and those who realize the one you are with is the one you should be with. I would def.watch this again especially because I personally felt chemistry between the two main leads and I'm a sucker for Lacey Chabert.

I had to review this for a couple of reasons. Maybe Lacey Chabert will never be an Oscar winner, but that's OK. What she does well is take parts in small enjoyable to watch television "movies". Ryan Merriman (jonathon) and Lacey Chabert (Liberty) meet and become somewhat acquainted on a stuck elevator. What ensues is a helped along courtship and also one with some naysayers. One of the reviewers must have fallen asleep not to have understood the ending..I must throw in a spoiler here in that the other reviewer couldn't understand the elevator opening with Liberty wearing a necklace on when she didn't enter with one. Well let's face it..it's not moments or minutes after the elevator doors closed but weeks or months later, and what better way to start off together than the same way they met, the elevator..this time it's opening as they are getting married. The one reason I gave this a 8 out of 10 is that I just found it hard to believe he would have been made partner so young..usually it takes ten years to get that far up the ladder..but 26-ish is a little much..but they made a good couple, there was good chemistry, it was plausible, the secretary was a treat, and the situations where he was out of his element,ie..the birthday party were realistic..I do recommend this as a sweet diversion on a late Saturday afternoon. Enjoy the chemistry..

A flat, unimaginative script is the main killer for this numbing chick flick, but not the only culprit. This appears to be a team effort by the director, writer and actors. I stuck with it because my wife likes to watch movies until the end; since I love harmony with my wife, I forced myself to stay awake. Hallmark Channel seems to be known for sappy flicks -- and sappy flicks have their place -- but this piece of junk would have been better as a high school film project (viewed by a few dozen people).There was, perhaps, one clever line in the entire movie, though I can't recall it now. The lead characters were generic and boring, the plot was oh-so-predictable, and the score was incredibly annoying and ridiculous.The key positive was that it was over in less than 90 minutes.

Count me as a girl who enjoys these Hallmark movies. They are what Lifetime was before it became the man-bashing/sort of sleazy channel is currently is. Anyway, I was very excited to see this movie's preview bc I like Lacey, I recognized Ryan as the kid from that movie w/Michelle Pfeiffer, and we're all around the same age (26-28). Aside from that, the story looked interesting enough and sometimes you just need an easy movie to watch w/a pizza and beverage. Anyway, I found the story to be easy to believe in terms of development. My criticism of two of Hallmark's other recent movies (Flower Girl and Wishing Well) was that the bond btwn the two leads wasn't well developed. But that's not the case in Elevator Girl. They meet in the elevator, the secretary initiates the second meeting,and then they take off from there. It was obvious that they had been dating at least a month. So that's good.Liked how Rosemary did everything she could to hook them up after she saw how into Libby Jonathan was. That was a nice play on the fairy godmother w/o making it a fantasy tale. It was a great move not making the "big blonde" really the other woman like we're so used to seeing. Usually the blonde is a b---- and although Cynthia made one not so nice comment re: Libby, it wasn't the standard vicious "I'm better than you." I also liked how Libby, the free-spirit of the movie, at the end made the decision to combine all her talents together. A lot of times w/these movies, it's the free-spirit who's ALWAYS right and the more anal retentive person always has to change. That usually bugs me bc sometimes the free-spirits ARE all over the map (Libby was) and that's not always a good characteristic.The only thing I didn't like was the cheesy music at the very end when everything was in slow motion. The two leads were young, so they could've chosen a better song.Well done. I give it a B
