“8.0 stars.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBeen some days since a Hallmark movie was a pleasurable experience for me. Krakow usually makes for a decent film, and this was no exception.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHow does this movie utilize the usual bag of tricks for soft romance? Actually, it doesnu0026#39;t fully. What I witnessed was something a bit off the beaten path. Sure it contains the usual ingredients, but there is a distinct feeling evoked watching the main characters interact. The romance seems forced, yet more authentic than most. Itu0026#39;s as if the two leads are actually playing their parts with as much passion as possible, but doing their best to hold back. Itu0026#39;s hard to explain, but I was actually impressed by their portrayal of two conflicted people.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHe is a bit of an adventurer, but lackadaisical in his pursuit to take a detour with his writing career. In doing so, he produces something way below his standards, but seems oblivious about the ramifications this may have on his career. She, on the other hand, is the perfect female for his situation and with this particular dilemma. She has a passion for books, although itu0026#39;s not her primary goal to own a bookstore, and she would rather be doing real estate. But we can see that her true passion is him, she just doesnu0026#39;t realize it. He knows immediately that she is his match, and he formulates a plan to casually charm her.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI feel like the theme is that sometimes fate knocks us on the head to course correct our lives back to the status quo. They both belong right where theyu0026#39;ve been for a long time, yet both feel out of place. They simply needed to meet each other.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is not a masterpiece, but as Iu0026#39;m writing this review, I realize the writer had something memorable in mind, and I caught it (even though I may have overanalyzed a bit).”
