Undescribable Perfection
Such a frustrating disappointment
Great Film overall
What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.
The cast is better than average in this Hallmark romance. Poppy Drayton is cute and does a really good American accent and she isn't perky - a common Hallmark heroine flaw. She is nicely paired with Steven R McQueen from Vampire Diaries who plays the ex Boyfriend from the small town she left. He shows he can do romantic roles too. Michael Welch from Twilight plays the not so suited current Boyfriend. It's nice the cast isn't the over the hill type Hallmark often casts.The setting isn't that picturesque. Could have chosen a more beautiful lake. Couple of faults in the "Working Girl" story - the deception thing wears a bit thin after a while. The formula ending is expected from the beginning as in most Hallmark movies but to give up her career that she fought so hard for us just getting annoying. Can't the guy move to the big city for a change?
Hallmark knows pretty well how to satisfy its audience. I would love to see movies like these coming regularly. The characters were so sweet and humble. Everything was so well put. And the chosen landscapes were just amazing. It was a pleasure watching this & it was worth the time.
I enjoyed this one. Loved that the leads were not the regular Hallmark actors. These two - Poppy Drayton and Steven R. McQueen - were very refreshing. Their relationship was also age appropriate. Keep more of these coming Hallmark!
I liked the actors but didn't like the lie that threads throughout the movie. The Howard character almost ruins the movie. The ending was nice though.
