What Would You Do If ·Love Strikes Twice?·

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get a second chance at love? Many relationships and partnership didn't start on a good note and in the long run, complications set in. What if you were given the opportunity to go back in time. Would you choose the same partner or a different partner? There are and there would always be so many unanswered questions when it comes to relationships.

Due to the fact that I'm under the weather, I decided to watch something mild for a change. A friend who knows that I love watching horror movies came over and gave me a list of horror movies I should try and for the first time in a long time I said no. I think my mind just wanted to see something calming and not something nerve-racking. And so, I opted to watch Love strikes twice.

At first, I thought It was going to be a movie with a love triangle where one lady or one man gets to choose between two partners who are so adorable, well, I thought wrong. I think I'm losing my flare for movie prediction:⁠)

Plot

Maggie Turner realises that she was stuck in a stale marriage and in a means to make things right, she makes a wish. Maggie miraculously wakes up 15 years later and is given another opportunity to right her wrongs. Does she choose the right part or not? I'd leave that to you.

Irrespective of which perspective we want to view it from, such marriages exist. A marriage devoid of love, compassion and attention. Maggie is a workaholic lawyer who barely has time for her husband and you can imagine how this would turn out. The only good thing is that she didn't have any kids because the kids would have also lacked motherly care.

I was trying to understand the logic behind the fact that she woke up "15 years later." It turns out that Maggie and Josh Turner had been married for 15 years but still this happened to them. Sometimes, people may think that once you're last the first ten years of marriage, then a firm foundation has been built. This isn't always the case.

Cast

This movie is starred by:

• Katie Findley as Maggie Turner

Maggie Turner is one of the lead actresses in the movie. She is the one given a second chance to start afresh or should I say, correct her mistake. I wouldn't want to give so much of a spoiler but what I would like to say is that she did justice to her role. Maggie played her role so well and now, I admire lawyers even more.

• Wyatt Nash as Josh Turner

Josh Turner, Maggie's husband, is a regular history degree holder. As one would imagine, he feels inferior to his wife as she is a lawyer. Josh plays the role of a very loving and understanding husband; the kind any lady would wish for but people always have their breaking points and Josh was no different.

• Marshall Williams as Rick Morgan

Rick plays the role of the son of a rich father and Maggie's college boyfriend. Honestly, I expected Rick to be a spoiled brat but it turns out that he didn't display so many characteristics of a spoiled brat, good for him.

• Brynn Godenir as Carrie Bowedin

Carrie is the type of best friend anyone would adore. Full of energy, positivity and compassion. She plays the role of Maggie's bestfriend.

• Sharon Bajer as Estelle Harmannand and Alex Porch Gomdin as George Hartman.

This couple redefined the word love. They were married for forty years and they still adored each other immensely. They are totally worthy of emulation. They play the roles of Maggie's mother and father.

• Erik Authevale as Malcom Baxter

Malcolm is a good man who is cladded with the role of an opponent. He is a lawyer; the lawyer who opposed Maggie in court. I must say that he was one very fun opponent.

Genre: Fantasy,comedy, mystery and romance

Director: Jeff Beesly.

My Opinion.

I honestly didn't know what to expect when I started this movie. I kept an open and receptive mind and I have no regrets. Love strikes twice was an amazing movie with a great plot and wonderful screenplay. All the actors played their roles splendiferously. I watched this movie to help take my mind off my fever and the movie did just that.

One part that stood out for me was when Maggie won a court case. I was really excited because her opponent (excuse my terms) was really out to win by all means. The reason why this was exciting was because her opponent had a streak of consistent successful cases–won by hook or by crook– but Maggie emerged and broke this streak. Just terrific.

Recommendation.

I would whole-heartedly recommend this movie to anyone out there who is looking for an interesting movie to help while away time. If you're one who loves action movies, horror or crime, well, this is also a movie for you; a little change. Once again, the movie is highly recommended. Do well to watch it and give feedback if you wish, I'd be more than happy to get your feedback.
