Bottled with Love: Everything We Know

‘Bottled with Love’ is another Hallmark movie whose title is both literal and figurative. Somebody in Hallmark’s creative team seems to have mastered this art/technique of making cheesy, romantic phrases movie titles masquerading as something literal from the premise.

‘Bottled with Love’ is a part of Hallmark’s ‘Spring Fever’ retinue of movies that aim to lighten up the relatively non-festive season between Valentine’s Day and Christmas. Such movies reaffirm Hallmark’s crown of being THE romance destination on television. The network deservedly wears that crown thanks to its continuous influx of television romcoms.

‘Bottled with Love’ might feel dated at first, but the film’s massive heart and the chemistry between the lead actors is what makes it another candy-coated treat. It might not be unlike anything you might have seen before, but then again; warm and comfortable movies hardly step out of the zone of familiarity. That is for good reason, of course: familiarity is the very essence of homeliness.

Hallmark promotes ‘Bottled with Love’ using a horde of good reviews, one of which calls it “Hallmark Channel’s Must See Movie of 2019.” Some of the other quotes from reviewers that the network uses to describe the movie include “charming, endearing” and “a love story you will fall for from the very beginning.” Well, given the fact that it has been decorated with praises, ‘Bottled with Love’ might just be a must-see film. Have a look at the trailer which showcases the film’s many appraisals:

‘Bottled with Love’ follows the numbers geek, Abbey who gets stood up causing her great misery. However, a friend comes to the rescue and urges her to express how she feels through the written word.
