The Lost Valentine

Where to watch

The lost valentine.

Directed by Darnell Martin

Love can stand the test of time.

A young and cynical female journalist learns love may transcend trials and time as she discovers a story that will change her life forever. When war separates lovers on their wedding anniversary Feb. 14, 1944 at LA Union Train Station, Navy pilot Neil Thomas makes a promise he isn't sure he can keep - to return to the train station safe by their next anniversary. For sixty years Caroline Thomas keeps her promise by waiting at the train station until her missing in action husband can finally keep his with the "lost valentine." The message and meaning shows romance and love can be real; worth fighting, and maybe even dying for.

Daniel Bernard

Review by Daniel Bernard ★★★

Had "ch-ch-chose" it for Betty White.

But this is much more a vehicle for Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Nothing against her at all (hell, she even kind of reminds me of my sister here.)

But "The Golden Girls" is one of my all-time fave shows, and a big reason for that is because of the treasure that is Rose Nylund.

Still, regardless of who this Hallmark card preferred to focus on, it does go down as sweet and lovely as a production like this typically does. But the feels never hit unless it sets its attention on Betty.

The ending thanks to her and her alone makes it absolutely heartbreaking. It even made me well up. And I do not get easily affected like that.

Ugh, that train station 😭

Jake Alda Coffey

Review by Jake Alda Coffey ★½

Decided to watch this today in honor of Betty White on her 100th birthday. I think this is the first Hallmark movie I’ve seen. It’s as sappy and overly dramatic as I would’ve thought. And honestly if it wasn’t for Betty white, I feel like this film would be almost unwatchable without doing an eye roll every 5 mins. But it was good to see Betty White expand her acting abilities here beyond comedy to perform more of a dramatic role.

2011 RANKED

Big Daddy

Review by Big Daddy ★★★★

Sure it's a Hallmark, but it's like a Hallmark on steroids. The invincible Betty White may have given her best performance with no sign of slowing down, despite being in her 90's. If you don't shed a tear on this one, I fear for your soul.

This film was so heartbreaking, but yet so beautiful.

RIP Betty White. You will be greatly missed 💔

A Tearjerker Hallmark Hall Of Fame Movie: 9/10

First of all, I wish each & every one of you a very happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re a hopeless romantic (like myself), or someone that found true love, or a true friend, I hope you enjoy your day & celebrate it with the ones you love the most, or in the way you’d like (even if it’s via movies).

The first time that I watched this great movie was on Hallmark Channel during a tribute to Betty White’s 100th birthday. This is a period piece & wartime story that really is enjoyable & heartwarming.

Betty White puts on an amazing performance, as does Jennifer Love Hewitt. It’s a memorable movie from Hallmark’s Hall Of Fame…

RIP Betty White and Happy Birthday ❤️

Yasmin Pribadi

Review by Yasmin Pribadi ★★★★½

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

The main story? 10/10, one of the best performances by Betty White (GAHD I LOVE HER) and the love story here is just so pure, I felt that tremble on the chest when she danced with the (imaginary) husband after they finally found him. I'm one who can barely ever shed tears, but this did me good. But wtf is up w Susan and Lucas? Irrelevant. But yea, I rewatched this like a bunch of times just for a good cry lol.

  • Trivia The novel this movie is based upon was originally published in 1998 as "The Last Valentine", but when it was re-published in 2011 after the success of the movie the title was changed to "The Lost Valentine". According to author James Michael Pratt's website, the story was inspired by true events.
  • Goofs The honor detail that brought Neil's remains into Union Station was in dress whites. But we were assured that it was on Valentine's Day, February 14. The Navy wears blues in February, even in San Diego. The honor detail should have been in dress blues.

Neil Thomas : When I think back about when we were growing up together I remember so many things. But for the life of me, I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with you.

The teleplay was written by Maryann Ridini Spencer and Barton Taney. Spencer met the author of the book, James Michael Pratt, in 2001 and fell in love with the story line. Her screenplay based on the novel, ultimately resulted in a contract with Hallmark. Spencer is also co-producer of the project.

The producers did well in matching young and old Caroline. White and Fahy's facial features, including expressive blue eyes, are similar in most respects, though it would appear Fahy is slightly taller than White.

Review Film: The Lost City, Komedi Romantis Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock dan Channing Tatum mencari kota D yang hilang

TLC Poster

13 October 2024

GENRE : Action ACTORS : Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum DIRECTOR : Aaron Nee, Adam Nee RELEASE DATE : 23 Maret 2022 RATING : 3.5/5

Sandra Bullock selalu menjadi magnet yang cukup kuat untuk menonton sebuah film. Apalagi kalau film tersebut bergenre komedi atau komedi romantis. Di film The Lost City Sandra Bullock berduet dengan Channing Tatum dalam sebuah komedi romantis dengan trope berupa pencarian harta karun raja yang hilang ditelan waktu.

Pasangan beda umur ini digambarkan memiliki sifat dan kemampuan literasi yang sangat berbeda, sehingga keduanya menjadi pasangan yang paling awkward sekaligus paling menghibur chemistry-nya.

Seperti apa review The Lost City besutan sutradara Aaron dan Adam Nee ini? Kamu bisa menyimaknya dalam review di bawah ini.

1. Sinopsis The Lost City: Petualangan Loretta dan Dash

TLC1

Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) adalah seorang penulis novel “dewasa” yang mengambil tema pencarian harta karun di sebuah kota yang hilang. Dalam petualangannya, Loretta selalu didampingi oleh karakter fiksi bernama Dash. Dash sendiri dibuat dari sosok seorang model amatiran yang bernama asli Alan Caprison (Channing Tatum).

Dalam perilisan bukunya yang terakhir Sage diculik oleh Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe). Seorang anak pengusaha kaya raya yang menginginkan harta karun legendaris berupa mahkota api menyala yang dikenakan oleh sang ratu di kota yang hilang.

Ternyata usut punya usut, Sage adalah seorang sarjana yang mendalami bahasa penduduk kota yang hilang. Bahasa tersebut merupakan tugas akhir dirinya bersama sang almarhum suami. Karena hal inilah Abigail membutuhkan Sage untuk menerjemahkan kalimat-kalimat yang menjelaskan di mana letak makam sang raja dan ratu.

Dash yang merasa bersalah karena cekcok dengan Sage, memutuskan untuk membebaskan Sage dari cengkraman Abigail. Untuk memuluskan niatnya, Dash menyewa seorang mantan tentara yang dia temui dalam sebuah sesi meditasi. Nama mantan tentara tersebut adalah Jack Trainer (Brad Pitt).

Misi pembebasan tersebut menuntun Loretta dan Dash dalam menemukan makam raja dan ratu kota yang hilang, sambil melarikan diri dari kejaran Abigail tentunya.

2. Komedi Romantis yang Asyik

TLC2

Sandra Bullock dan Channing Tatum memiliki selisih umur yang sangat jauh. Untungnya dalam film The Lost City, chemistry keduanya tidak terhalang umur. Bullock kembali menjadi wanita mandiri yang loveable , sementara Tatum tampil seperti koboi berotot yang agak minus nalarnya. Kombinasi keduanya mampu menghidupkan cerita yang sebenarnya sangat sederhana dan mudah ditebak. Rasanya cukup sulit untuk tidak tersenyum melihat keduanya beraksi. Walaupun beberapa dialog yang dilontarkan oleh Bullock terkadang terasa terlalu menggurui. Tapi sebenarnya dialog-dialog tersebut bisa dimaklumi, mengingat Sage digambarkan sebagai wanita cerdas, sementara Tatum adalah badut tampan dengan otot yang tebal.

Kami harus mengacungi dua jempol untuk desainer kostum Marlene Stewart. Menyuruh Bullock untuk menggunakan kostum ketat dengan manik-manik ungu di tengah hutan adalah sebuah keputusan yang tepat. Hasilnya mata kami jadi tidak bisa bergeser dari sosok perempuan berusia 57 tahun ini.

Bayangkan, di usianya yang cukup gaek ini, Bullock tetap terlihat fit dan langsing. Kami bahkan merasa kalau Bullock ikut menjadi abadi bersama dengan Keanu Reeves, gara-gara keduanya pernah bermain di Speed dan The Lake House .

Sebenarnya film ini menyertakan Brad Pitt sebagai peran pembantu. Sayang pesan Pitt sangatlah minim, sehingga kami tidak bisa menilai kemampuan aktingnya. Tapi yang jelas Pitt melakoni peran pembantunya dengan sangat baik sehingga kami tidak bisa memberikan komplain apa-apa.

3. Kesimpulan?

TLC3

The Lost City adalah komedi romantis yang sederhana tapi sangat lucu. Formula klasik wanita mandiri dan cowok bodoh, sulit untuk dikalahkan oleh formula komedi lainnya. Apalagi Sandra Bullock dan Channing Tatum berhasil membangun chemistry yang sangat meyakinkan.

Paling satu-satunya kelemahan dari film ini justru datang dari lembaga sensor film Indonesia yang agak berlebihan dalam melakukan sensor di dalam film. Hanya karena film ini memiliki rating +13, beberapa kalimat umpatan di dalam film terpaksa dihilangkan dan sebuah botol bir yang dipegang oleh Bullock ikut terkena sensor.

Sensor ini cukup disayangkan, walaupun sebenarnya tidak memengaruhi cerita. Pada akhirnya kami tetap bisa mengganjar The Lost City dengan nilai 3,5 dari 5 bintang review. Film yang sangat menghibur dan sulit ditolak oleh siapapun. Apalagi ketika kamu membutuhkan sebuah hiburan santai tanpa materi berat yang bisa menyebabkan alis kita berkerut.

Diterbitkan pertama 24 Maret 2022, diterbitkan kembali 13 Oktober 2024.
