Game of Love Brings the Cheese in the Best Way Possible
Why would I expect anything less from Kimberley Sustad and Brooks Darnell?
I’m a bit behind in my Hallmark movie watching, but thank goodness I didn’t miss The Game of Love! Extra-cheesy title aside (I could write about Hallmark’s titles for pages, but I digress), The Game of Love, which premiered mid-March, was one of my favorite Hallmark movies I’ve seen so far this year.
The plot centers around Audrey, a board game designer, and her love interest, Matthew, astral-photographer-turned-marketing-consultant for the new project she’s roped into —creating a board game all about love.
I usually watch Hallmark movies with my mom — we DVR every new movie and watch them over weekends or when we need a cozy night in — and we both had a feeling we’d like this one. Kimberly Sustad is one of our favorite Hallmark leads — she has a way of bringing characters to life that is both realistic and likable. Add to the equation that she’s tall (like me and my mom both happen to be), and we find ourselves pulled into the story because we relate to her character on many levels.
All that being said, Audrey starts out as a wholly unlikeable person.
