I loved it! Yeah it may be a little formulaic, but it stands out amongst the Hallmark-esque holiday movies for having two leads with some real chemistry and more than a little acting talent. When you see them joke about their childhoods, you believe they grew up together. When they look heartbroken, you believe it. When they confess their true feelings, you feel it too. And thankfully it's more realistic than most too. They don't just get engaged or married immediately. There is a proposal but they wait a year for it, so it's much more believable.

I realize most movie critics will pan this movie, but I loved it. There are so many things going on in the world that keep people up at night, to have a movie with such good feels is needed sometimes. I wish there was a bit more backstory on the characters, maybe a few flashbacks or narratives on how things came to be but damn, it felt good to see people falling in love

Awful movie please do not watch!! Bad acting, no interesting dialogue, extreme lack of diversity, and horrible writing for the lead female role. Extremely regressive for a movie made in 2020 and so predictable! Incredibly boring, do NOT waste your time with this.

Generic rom-com. But that's okay.

There are no surprises in Midnight at the Magnolia, and perhaps that's a strength of this calming, familiar, cliched but reassuring movie.

Rated: 2/5

While it doesn't offer many surprises, Midnight at the Magnolia benefits from the chemistry of its two leads.
