What is the plot of 'Romance With A Twist' aka 'Love in the Air' aka 'Swinging Into Love'?
Sometimes love finds you in the strangest of places, like mid-air! 'Romance With A Twist' sees accomplished aerialist (trapeze artist to you and me) Bennet at a bit of a loose end. See, Bennet was supposed to perform at the local arts festival, but now finds himself minus a partner and the clock running down on his performance. Enter former dancer Luna. Luna has the skill and the pizzaz to match Bennet's 'leaping' prowess, but will two strong-willed artistes find enough common ground to put on a worthy performance, or will the sparks erupt into a flame that may consume them both?
'Romance With A Twist' aka 'Love in the Air' aka 'Swinging Into Love' Main Cast
Jocelyn Hudon
Former ballerina (or is it once a ballerina, always a ballerina?) Jocelyn made her debut in the popular TV series 'Single Ladies', but it was as Abby in 'The Strain' that Jocelyn emerged into the spotlight. She followed that up by playing Willow in the TV series 'Ice' before starring as Grace Bennett in the 'When Calls the Heart' spinoff 'When Hope Calls'. Fans can catch her again playing the leading lady in the upcoming movies 'The Fall' and 'The Sound' opposite William Fichtner.
Olivier Renaud
So while we are left gobsmacked by Renaud's Bennet spiraling through the air in 'Romance With A Twist', it's in the spirit of full disclosure that we must reveal that Renaud was a member Cirque du Soleil! But when he wasn't spinning through the air with arguably the best acrobatic troupe in the world, he was getting his acting career on track. Roles in the TV series 'The Wedding Planners' and 'Astrid and Lilly Save the World' went side by side with movie roles in 'Christmas in Big Sky Country' and 'Merry Mystery Christmas'. Fans of Renaud's aerial contortions can catch him next in the upcoming French TV series 'Paris Paris' and the movie 'Cecilia'.
Is 'Romance With A Twist' aka 'Love in the Air' aka 'Swinging Into Love' worth watching?
Absolutely, once you figure out what it's actually called. This is the epitome of fine-tuned horses-for-courses casting. Hudon and Renaud are made for these roles and that in turn should deliver some exceptional scenes in what has all the elements of a fine movie. Plus you can always marvel at the beautiful sets that always seem to accompany a Hallmark arts and crafts festival.
