Summer Love (2016) – Sweet Summertime Romance in the Corporate World
THE STORY | Easy isn’t something Maya Sulliway (Rachael Leigh Cook) can enjoy. Her life is anything but simple and neat these past years. In the wake of her husband’s death, she’s been pushing herself to meet goals all while raising her young daughter, Addison (Hannah Cheramy). With her daughter away at summer camp, Maya can focus on finishing school (accounting), and more specifically making the grade with her internship.When her professor assigns Maya to the hip tech company, Kizzmit, she’s confused. In comparison to her young class mates, what does she, a mature 30-something, have to bring to the program?REVIEW | Despite her many reservations, Maya finds she underestimated the company, especially when it comes to her boss, Kizzmit’s CFO, Colin Fitzgerald (Lucas Bryan), a man who’s more than the executive stereotype. When the founder of the company, Will (Travis Milne) shows an interest in Maya romantically, she has to decide whether to follow her heart or find her voice in the business world.In case you didn’t guess, 'Summer Love' is another Hallmark film that once again finds its voice cemented in the branding of this channel. When this premiered last summer (as part of their “Summer Nights” campaign), I missed this its debut. (*sad face*) Other titles came and went, and then when I recently saw this one was re-airing, I remembered it was one I'd missed. Needless to say, the DVR was set, and I settled in to watch, what I hoped, would make for a fun night in.Turns out, that and more is what this little gem does. I loved everything about this one. It made me smile long before five minutes pass. What makes this one distinctive is its story structure. Most interesting is the fact that Addison has very little screen time. Children in single parent stories often play an important role to a story, and while Addison’s character does have an important part, she isn’t present for most. That said, this doesn’t bother me as it lets Maya’s goal take center stage and allows the story to have a unique setting (one in the corporate world) without losing its heart.Part of the reason for this is Maya’s character. Her nervous, rambling albeit completely lovable characterization is what great writing should always be. It makes her down-to-earth and relatable. Then there are the guys. Both have their attributes and flaws, but if you’re anything like me, there will be one clear winner who you’ll root for as “The One” for Maya. What else works really well in this script is the romance. It isn’t “certain” (developed) as the story progresses, and instead ends with a promise of something to come rather than certainty. While sometimes we crave a more concrete surety, this is the best ending (for this story) because of what happens prior (plus, pay attention, a key conversation alludes to a happy future between these two).The cast is also fantastic. I loved Rachel seeing in the leading lady role (she might not be as familiar a face on Hallmark, but she suits these characters and films well), and enjoyed seeing Bryan in this as he’s unfamiliar to me (especially in comparison to someone like Andrew Walker). All that’s left to say is, go watch Summer Love. In the excitement of the upcoming summer films (airing later this year), don’t let this one slip past. Make a date with your DVR and let it sweep you up in its sweet story of summertime love, and happiness. ♥

Fun Fantasy of Success and Love!
This movie is based on the fantasy of two guys chasing after the same woman. It makes the movie nice and competitive. It really is a fun fantasy of success and love. This is the most modern of all the Hallmark movies I've seen so far. It is about creating apps and that makes it very techie. The supporting actors are actually pretty creative and really knowledgeable about technology. There is a lot of drama in this too including betrayal and miscommunication. But like all Hallmark movies the problems seem to work themselves out in the end! A happy ending and true love reigns supreme.~The Rebecca Review

A very good movie.
This was an interesting story. Good acting, production and direction. Rachael Cook is terrific as the lead. My only complaint is Hallmark's insistence on loud music, which disrupts the dialog in some of the scenes. Otherwise it was excellent. Watch this one it is ok.

Very surprising
This movie was not like I thought it would be. It was much more interesting and I learned a lot. A widowed mom gets an internship after sending her daughter to summer camp, with a big app. company. While there she is challenged in many way, makes friends and is pursued by the CEO of the company. Really strange was that so many people made a big deal about her being too old for an internship, or College. Rachel Leigh Cook looks young enough to play either, from my perspective. This is a subtle movie. A view into the process of internships, App work and male-female relationships. I did not like the way the character was treated but this character was very mature, professional and wise. She was not a corporate female killer. More passive and honest. I liked the character. I really liked the ending. It was a surprise. Enjoy! :)

Loved!
Kind of a new storyline for Hallmark (tech company) with the same enduring qualities that make it a Hallmark.

cute story
This is a story about a non-traditional student, a mother in her thirties, going back to college. She gets an internship at a tech company that develops apps. I found it to be funny as I am often "out of it" when it comes to technology. I could relate to the mom in this story. It was a unique storyline, so hard to find these days with Hallmark, and it was funny.

Why I had to buy this movie
When I first watched this movie, I loved it and wanted to buy it, so I did. At least with me having my own copy of the movies, I can watch it anytime and enjoy it all over again. I watch it over and over again. I love it!
