Summer Love (2016) Reviews

• Good Movie

  cubop2016-08-21

  The title is deceptive. This is not so much a love story as it is about a smart woman who is attempting to improve her life after the loss of her husband by working as an unpaid intern for a startup and her interactions much younger people. It's great to see Rachael Leigh Cook again and good to know that she is going do another HallmarK movie. If it is the quality of this one I'll really be looking forward to it. It seems as if the Network is putting out higher quality productions now that the major networks no longer have this kind of picture. They are doing stories for every season and not just romance movies. The mysteries are also well done and a lot of fun.

• Really enjoyable romantic comedy

  Few of these types of movies successfully appeal to both sexes, but this made it for me. Not my selection to watch originally, but I was glad I did. Many movies like these insult your intelligence, but this one was smartly written and acted, and I've always been fond of Rachel Leigh Cook. Maybe it was the tech background that pushed it over for me, but there was a freshness about the whole thing I really found enjoyable. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, it's a good way to spend a couple of hours and I'd encourage anyone that happens upon it to sit back, relax and enjoy...and don't be discouraged because the tech-talk wan't too much even for me.

• Fun watch

  A fun watch. The characters were well written and the dialogue was snappy. All around an enjoyable watch. Better value than The Intern (2015). I don't know about a Summer Love - this could have happened anytime of the year. Then again perhaps it would be interesting to see a sequel for the Winter and see how this new relationship and/or company develops. Music score: Could have been more polished. It seemed to be dropped in out of a can of Muzak. Other technical areas were good. For summer TV fare it did seem equal to if not better than most of the theatrical fare available this year.

• Loved it! It's a good one!

  I loved this movie! The premise was very interesting, and it kept my attention the entire time. Maya, a widow with a tween daughter, is going to school to become an accountant. While her daughter is away at summer camp, Maya gets an internship at a tech company. She feels she's in over her head because she's not tech savvy and much older than the other interns. What she has going for her is her honesty and willingness to learn. While her boss is the CFO, the CEO takes Maya under his wing, causing a bit of jealousy with the other interns. She also strikes up a friendship with her boss. This movie is a great addition to the Hallmark movies. One of my favorites that I will watch again!!

• Nice summer film

  I really enjoyed this film as it was a nice feel good summer film and I like Maya's character, but I feel really bad for her since she has a lot of drama going in her life throughout the film. She feels out of place with all the younger people at her internship, she quickly becomes the involved in a love triangle with both the CFO and the CEO, causing all the other interns to become jealous of her. Maya is such a nice and sweet character and she doesn't deserve to be treated badly as all she wants is to gets through the internship without trouble. I thought a lot of the characters were unfairly rude to her, but at least she has the support of her best friend, her daughter and her true love interest. I'm just glad she managed to prove herself to everyone in the end.
