LOVE YOUR LIFE

Fiona Hardingham's lively narration gives this romantic comedy a fresh feel. At an Italian writer's retreat where participants are discouraged from using real names and details, Aria and Dutch find love. Old dating app frustrations and deal breakers are gone, but can their love hold up once they're back in London living as Ava and Matt? Hardingham's range highlights the couple's differences and consequent troubles. A high-pitched kid's voice yelling "Spider-Man!" heightens the cute factor, and Hardingham perfects a deadpan delivery for the sarcastic friend with a raspy voice. The writing instructor has an airy but self-assured tone, bringing the artistically commanding personality to life. Hardingham's detailed performance is evident with her portrayal of an announcer with drawn-out introductions "Saturday Night Live" style.
