This movie was so cute!
Jenna (Nicola Posener) is an actress on a detective show called Echo Park. She is dating her co-star, Trevor (Trey Warner), even though they don’t have anything in common other than being actors on the same show. When Jenna finds out the show is being canceled, she accepts her agent’s offer to stay in the family cabin until she gets things sorted out and figures out what she wants to do next. When Jenna gets to the cabin, she finds out that it’s already being used by her agent’s son, Chris (Dan Fowlks), a nature photographer. At first, Jenna and Chris don’t get along but then they discover that they misjudged each other. Jenna actually is a good actress (and a great cook) and she wants to do work that she can be proud of. Chris really isn’t as arrogant as he seems at first. They fall in love. Meanwhile, Trevor is trying to track down Jenna with the help of Roxanne (Shona Kay) and it doesn’t take 20/20 vision to see that Trevor would be happier with her than with Jenna.
Love In Focus is totally predictable but I still liked it. The scenery was gorgeous and Nicole Posener and Dan Fowlks were a really appealing couple once they stopped fighting. (People who fall in love in movies always have to start out fighting each other over something.) There’s a really sweet scene where Chris’s parents talk about how they first met and fell in love and listening to their story made me smile. The best part of the film was Trey Warner. Even though Trevor was Chris’s romantic rival, he wasn’t portrayed as being a villain or a jerk or anything like that. Everyone in the film was so nice that you really hoped everything would work out for them.
This was a sweet movie and I really liked it!
