Some people believe that when one wants a certain thing intently and works towards it, the universe will conjure up a thousand ways to make that happen. Others believe that the very thing one tries to run away from is materialized first. Whatever school of thought you believe in, one thing is for certain: love can pop up anywhere, without a warning or plan. ‘Love in the Forecast’ is a Hallmark movie that toys with that nature of unpredictability of love. In doing so, it explores the notion of staying open-hearted to romance rather gleefully.
Hallmark Channel, “the heart of TV” is known for presenting sunny, candy-coated romance movies regularly. Such television films prove to be cozy viewing experiences not just because they can be viewed from the comfort of one’s home. Hallmark films prove to make viewers optimistic despite the uncertainties of romance due to their familiarity and non-complex characters.
‘Love in the Forecast’ is a movie whose title works both literally and figuratively. When it comes to the latter, the movie, as mentioned earlier, tackles the idea of the unpredictability of love. When it comes to the literal level, the film revolves around a protagonist, Leah who is a weather reporter. When she decides to stray away from dating for a full year, life seems to have other plans, making her a “magnet for men.” She quickly befriends her neighbor, Mark who shows her how to predict the weather with normal, non-sciencey ways. Soon, the two start to develop a romantic connection.
