Just to start off, I LOVE the Hallmark channel. It's on in my house 90% of the time only because I have to share the tv with my family. With that said, I hated this movie. You have a girl who is HAPPY with her life, never complained about needing money then meets a rich, pompous ass who ends up being ashamed of her when he finds out she was a waitress. He belittles her, treats her like crap but she says, "there's something about him". Really?! After yelling at her, one visit with flowers is all it took for her to forgive him for treating her like Sh**. What I don't understand is why push her to "choose one thing" if she was genuinely happy with all her TALENTS. Then her best friend accuses her of quitting everything. If she was that type (quitter) she wouldn't have all those different types of jobs now would she??? Then of course at the end she ends up being good enough for him to win her back only because she became "successful". He offended her so much that she decided to follow his advice and choose the one thing. Horrible

Decided to watch this on my lazy Saturday afternoon. I don't really watch many hallmark movies but there wasn't anything on HBO I wanted to watch. This movie surprised me. It kept me interested the whole time. I really enjoyed it!I didn't actually realize this movie was a modern day Cinderella when watching this which was good for me. Wasn't too cheesy!The 2 leads had great chemistry and I loved the matchmaking secretary. The best friends in the movie were pretty believable. Great casting!This movie was adorable. I would for sure buy it if I came across it in a sales bin at like walmart, video warehouse, or best buy.

Still another version of a modern day Cinderella, not oppressed, but rather a free spirit who meets the guy of her dreams when they get stuck in an elevator.Our guy is a hot-shot lawyer who has just been promoted to a partnership in the firm. He is hard driven as work ethic really consumes him. Yet, a strong relationship develops between our 2 lovebirds.The story is basically if people from two different backgrounds can really succeed. It's the old case of compromise here.The cast is great and special kudos to Patty McCormack, as our guy's matchmaking secretary,who sees a good match in the making and fights to sustain it. If anything she is the "good" seed here.(Remember her as the evil child in her Oscar nominated role in 1956's "The Bad Seed?")We see our guy's friend who wants him to date the girl of high social status. She is a snob in every word and our guy has no chemistry with her whatsoever.Love conquers all. It's better than ever here.

Count me as a girl who enjoys these Hallmark movies. They are what Lifetime was before it became the man-bashing/sort of sleazy channel is currently is. Anyway, I was very excited to see this movie's preview bc I like Lacey, I recognized Ryan as the kid from that movie w/Michelle Pfeiffer, and we're all around the same age (26-28). Aside from that, the story looked interesting enough and sometimes you just need an easy movie to watch w/a pizza and beverage. Anyway, I found the story to be easy to believe in terms of development. My criticism of two of Hallmark's other recent movies (Flower Girl and Wishing Well) was that the bond btwn the two leads wasn't well developed. But that's not the case in Elevator Girl. They meet in the elevator, the secretary initiates the second meeting,and then they take off from there. It was obvious that they had been dating at least a month. So that's good.Liked how Rosemary did everything she could to hook them up after she saw how into Libby Jonathan was. That was a nice play on the fairy godmother w/o making it a fantasy tale. It was a great move not making the "big blonde" really the other woman like we're so used to seeing. Usually the blonde is a b---- and although Cynthia made one not so nice comment re: Libby, it wasn't the standard vicious "I'm better than you." I also liked how Libby, the free-spirit of the movie, at the end made the decision to combine all her talents together. A lot of times w/these movies, it's the free-spirit who's ALWAYS right and the more anal retentive person always has to change. That usually bugs me bc sometimes the free-spirits ARE all over the map (Libby was) and that's not always a good characteristic.The only thing I didn't like was the cheesy music at the very end when everything was in slow motion. The two leads were young, so they could've chosen a better song.Well done. I give it a B
