'Lease on Love', 'From Chicago With Love', another movie title modification? If you've seen one title change with Hallmark, you seen a thousand. I mean why do they keep changing the titles of their movies? Who does this? Is this a common thing in Hollywood, or are they stealing titles and then getting called out on it, or someone is filing lawsuits, or what? I'm confused. Well, there goes over half of my review complaining about these title fiascos. I think a better title would be 'Engaged to be Engaged', or 'Creative Engagement'.

The story has been done, but this is a very accomplished way to tell it. Both actors seem to work well together. I'm convinced of their mutual affection, and let's be honest, that's half of what makes a good romance.

She is a very talented assistant to a successful makeup artist with a massive social media following, and he is an advertising executive. She is struggling with confidence issues, but he appreciates her value and feels she is the most amazing woman he's ever known. Nobody around her seems to realize how beautiful, charming, and intelligent she is except her landlord and this new guy. Her current fiance and her current boss are clueless. She comes to realize her true worth and we get to witness her subtle transformation into a radiant and self-confident person. But let's not forget half of the plot is about the man and how he brings out the best in her time and time again.

This is a proper love story about a man who helps a woman realize she is with the wrong people. Lease on Love' is surprisingly entertaining for such a repetitive and unoriginal story. You will like this movie for nothing other than the fact these actors do it justice.
