Over the Moon in Love

Is it possible for a man to be in love for two decades and do absolutely nothing about it?

Devin has been in love with Brooklyn since high school. After high school, they went their separate ways. They reconnect twelve years later. Brooklyn has a matchmaking service that has a 100% success rate (imagine that – does not sound plausible to me, but, it was nice hearing about this in the movie.)

Devin is a singer. Shortly after he reconnects with Brook, he meets Stephanie – a woman who is scoping out Brook’s business to see if it would be a good fit for the cover of her dad’s famous magazine. Brook need the publicity, but when she discovers that she needs to match up Stephanie with Devin…she falters. Stephanie stipulates that if Brook matches her up with Devin, it could increase her chances of being featured on the cover of the magazine.

I really enjoyed this Hallmark movie! The emotions between Brook and Devin seemed SO REAL. Brook knew Devin so well and when she “helps” Stephanie, by telling her about Devin’s likes and dislikes, and tells her what to say on her dates with Devin…just showed that Brook really had deep feelings for Devin – which was why she never matched up with anyone herself.

I thought it was a bit cheesy and implausible when Brook spoke to Devin on the phone and disguised her voice as Stephanie’s – just so that Devin would be impressed by “Stephanie’s” responses to his questions. I’d have thought he’d known he wasn’t speaking to Stephanie. I didn’t think that Brook sounded like Stephanie.

Robin’s egg blue? What man has a favorite color of robin’s egg blue? Most men would just say “blue” or “light blue”, but robin’s egg? I don’t think so….

Devin has been in love with Brook for twenty years and has never told her.

Wow. I just have to stop and think about that for a few minutes. Is it plausible for a man to feel so deeply for a woman for so long without seeing her or having a relationship with her? Seems like a time would come where the love would somewhat fade as the person moves forward with their life.

Overall, this is a decent Hallmark movie – one of the better ones. I thought it was strange to have a guy have a favorite color of robin’s egg blue. Most men would have no idea about robin’s egg blue. Would’ve been more plausible to just call it…simply…light blue.

So, have you ever known anyone who was in love with somebody but never told that person about it? What happened? Did he/she keep their love a secret forever?
