My wife and I watched this movie at home on DVD from our public library. It is a thoroughly enjoyable romantic movie, in fact with three different romances, young, middle age, and old folks.
It is a Hallmark movie, no drugs, no sex, no bad language, just wholesome characters looking for meaningful relationships.
I became a Rebecca Romijn fan when I saw the original X-Men (2000) movie, she was Mystique, the character in the blue body paint. Here she is Lindsey Wilson, formerly a budding artist trained in Paris but now 20 years later owner of a successful art magazine.
Of course Jerry O'Connell has been a favorite since his days as one of the young boys in "Stand By Me". Here he is Jack Burrow, an American who stayed in Paris and now is owner and operator of a hotel.
As the movie begins we see Lindsey and Jack 20 years earlier, young lovers in Paris, and there is an incident on the bridge where lovers place their locks, and that is the reference in the title "Love Locks." Then 20 years later Lindsey has an occasion to return to Paris, her teen daughter is starting art school, and the old friend arranges that they stay at Jack's hotel.
So that is where the movie starts going, to see if Lindsey and Jack can see that their lives would be better with each other. Meanwhile Lindsey's daughter falls for a young Frenchman who is studying mathematics, and Lindsey's old art teacher falls for a woman who spends lots of time at Jack's hotel.
The several stories meld together well and all reach satisfying conclusions in just over 90 minutes. And of course beautiful Paris. We enjoyed this movie very much.
