Well, you'll never gonna get in without recommendation from a senior editor. Believe me, I've been trying to get promoted to junior editor for three years, but there's no place I'd rather be. This is it.

&apos;The Dating List&apos; (2019)

Opening thoughts: While still continuing my Hallmark/Lifetime film completest quest (which started with their Christmas output but has extended to other seasonal blocks overtime as well), part of me wanted to see films that were in similar vein but not from them. So the likes of UPTV. The most familiar name to me in &apos;The Dating List&apos; is Christian Slater, have not seen his work in some time but remember liking it. While the premise is nothing novel, it did appeal to me at least (premises and talented casts have always been my main reasons for seeing anything).

&apos;The Dating List&apos; is among the better non-Hallmark/Lifetime films of this type seen recently. Is it devoid of flaws? No it isn&apos;t, very few films are. It is not a good representation of Slater, yet at the same time &apos;The Dating List&apos; has made me interested in seeing more of the work of the two leads who are represented well. Which is always a good sign watching film and television. Regardless of how little originality there is, there is so much that the film does right that this doesn&apos;t matter anywhere near as much as it could have done.

Bad things: Beginning with the not so good things, Slater is not on good form, slumming it in a cardboard role which really stands out like a sore thumb.

Also felt that the ending can be seen from some way off and felt a little too tidy.

Good things: Natalie Dreyfuss and Andrew Dunbar are however immensely engaging and charismatic leads. Their characters were not difficult to warm to, they didn&apos;t come over as too perfect yet any negative traits were not exaggerated. Their chemistry is very sweet, heartfelt and genuine and develops realistically. The supporting cast are solid and their characters are mostly not cardboard.

Furthermore, the production values are quite lovely. Especially the suitably picturesque scenery. It is assuredly directed too, giving breathing space but also momentum, and fittingly scored. There is also a charming, heartwarming story that never felt dull while not rushing through things. The script flows and never came over as too cheesy or schmaltzy.

Closing thoughts: Overall, very nicely done.

8/10.
