OK, I'll admit I don't watch many Hallmark movies. This one is a great example of why I don't. I won't get into all the cliches strewn throughout this movie; it would take too long. Let's just leave it at the fact that I've noticed so many of these movies follow a similar formula. A woman goes somewhere away from her home for some contrived reason. There she meets a guy. We all know she is going to end up with him in the end, but there has to be a misunderstanding that slows that down. After all, you have to fill the movie out somehow. There you have it - the basis of virtually all Hallmark romance movies.
This one was especially annoying, though. The little girl hugging everyone constantly, instantly falling in love with our heroine - another cliche I could do without. Then you have the the obligatory bad guys that turn out not to be so bad. All just like real life, right?
I guess movies like this make some people feel good? For me, when it was over, I felt like I ate a pound of some too-sweet cookies.
If you don't want to have to think, or be challenged, but instead just watch something you already know the ending to, I guess that's fine. I expect more.
