Love At Look Lodge is a heartwarming romantic drama film released in 2020 which stars Clark Backo, Jonathan Keltz, and Kathryn Kohut. As directed by Max McGuire, it is an endearing feature that combines the enchantment of nature with the warming touch of romance, sprinkled with elements of familial bonds and personal growth. The story centres around the character Lily (played by Clark Backo), a hotel event coordinator, who gets an opportunity of a lifetime to portray her ability to plan and manage a wedding event.

The film categorically brings to life the charm of a traditional movie romance sprinkled with contemporary sentiments. Lily dreams of being a full-fledged wedding coordinator, but her career is limited to the confines of Look Lodge, a quiet mountain retreat her family owns and runs. Lily, a consistent optimist and hard worker, is waiting for her big break, keenly managing smaller events at the lodge with precision and dedication.

The plot takes off when Noah (played by Jonathan Keltz), an engagingly quirky, and charming guest, arrives at the lodge. Noah's sister Justine, brilliantly portrayed by Kathryn Kohut, is set to have her wedding at the lodge, but the appointed wedding planner has to quit unexpectedly. At the heart of this abrupt chaos, Noah is poised with the unexpected responsibility of pulling off the wedding.

Given her familiarity with the establishment and her hidden ambitions of event planning, Lily steps in to help Noah navigate the wedding preparations, agreeing to take up the role of the wedding planner unofficially. What follows is a delightful journey of event management, adorned with complications and enthralling incidents that gives the movie an edge over typical romantic films.

As the two work to plan the wedding, their professional relationship gradually evolves into a personal one. Their shared commitment to creating the perfect wedding for Noah's sister serves as a backdrop for their budding romance. Throughout the film, viewers get to witness their personalities unfold and navigate their relationship dynamics, all while they manoeuvre the intricate plan for a perfect dream wedding.

They both assist each other in personal growth as well. Lily, who has been accustomed to her homogenous environment at the lodge, gains exposure and confidence through her growing bond with Noah. Meanwhile, Noah, who is originally from the city, develops an appreciation for the simplicity and tranquillity of Lily's world.

Throughout the duration of the film, there are numerous tender moments combined with beautiful scenic settings, which makes the plot more captivating. The unique outdoor setting of the mountain lodge also offers a refreshing change from the typical, bustling city-based rom-coms. It adds an element of tranquillity and natural elegance, making the story more charming and visually appealing, thus giving off a vibe of a real, vintage countryside wedding set-up.

With the rustic charm of the lodge in the backdrop, the film draws its strength from its central characters and their chemistry.
