hyped garbage
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Loved the scenery. Not the female lead. She always looks so sad and pouty. She came across as not very likable. Liked the male lead and the kids were fine. Not my favorite, not the worst I've seen. Would love to see more movies with Alicia Witt.I also would love to see some Christmas movies during the summer.
Another unrealistic movie about a moronic, helpless woman, brought to you by the Hallmark agenda to demean women by portraying them as incapable of dealing with their personal lives by themselves. Hey Hallmark, we don't want to watch idiots who raise weak, whiny and pouty (and often miserable) children. The teenage girl has an attitude that wouldn't be tolerated in the real world, so the audience simply finds her horrible.The female protagonist acts like a 13 yr old pouty brat with fears up the shoot, instead of a mature woman and parent in her thirties. She is so stupid. There is NOTHING likable about her. She teaches grade 8, but knows nothing about teenagers? Idiotic. Both protagonists are not real, but she is annoying and completely miscast against the male lead. Their attempt at humour fell flat; not funny. It just made them look even more stupid.Awful; Hallmark people need to get out in the real world before they write more rubbish.
Two things : 1) I really like Hallmark movies. 2) I also like movies about camping or wilderness related. :) So I maybe biased in this review.Story-wise, its the typical Hallmark family-oriented style with a romantic feel. Something that you would expect and not expect at the same time.Actors , I'd say the main characters did their parts very well. The leave-me-alone children, the over-protective parents, a little drama and the sparkle of romance.By the way, I wish that raccoon could have really been a bear - that it really tore the tent apart. And then Paul comes out to have protected them.I enjoyed this movie. And like I said, I like it! :)7 out of 10 stars for me.
Campfire Kiss brings back the Hallmark regular Danica McKellar in its usual mundane and harmless way. After what I would call a disappointing Christmas Movie last year for Danica I was hoping for a better movie. This movie, while very watchable, is very forgettable and after being seen once will not make you want to rewind to see it again.Of the many general themes of Hallmark movies one of the least desirable to me is when one of both of the leads kids play matchmaker. It is used often, and sometimes works but often does not and gets a little creepy. Here it works okay but still kind of leaving you wanting say to them mind your own business. Secondly, the "conflict" in the romance in this movie was especially weak and in my opinion not really a conflict at all. It just left you wanting to say call him/her and straiten it out.All that being said why this movie rates an above average review is all the actors were good in their roles. The dialogue was not as trite as many of these movies. Having his ex-wife show up was a nice twist. The romance seemed believable.If you like these movies and have not seen it you will want to do so.
