Review
"Puppy Love: A Hallmark Tail-Wagger"
In the delightful world of Hallmark movies, "Romance to the Rescue" offers a charming blend of canine antics and blossoming romance. Andrea Brooks shines as Kyra, a grocery store employee who, in a bid to impress her manager Trevor, portrayed by Nathan Witte, fabricates a story about owning an agility-trained dog. Enter Marcus Rosner as Kevin, the charismatic animal shelter manager who assists Kyra in transforming a shelter dog, Sam, into a star competitor. As training sessions progress, the chemistry between Brooks and Rosner becomes palpable, leading viewers through a heartwarming narrative filled with humor and heartfelt moments. While the plot follows familiar Hallmark holiday movie tropes, the addition of an adorable canine companion adds a refreshing twist. This film is a delightful watch for those who believe that love, much like a well-trained dog, can sometimes come when you least expect it.
