Review of Groundswell

Groundswell (2022 TV Movie)
7/10
another standard entry into hallmark's PC files
24 April 2023
Pretty much what you would expect from Hallmark, with the now-token gay couple. I was kind of disappointed that they went to Hawaii to film a movie essentially about Puerto Ricans but that made sense after he explained the history of Puerto Ricans in the islands, but has Hallmark actually done one about Hawaiian culture? I found the decision to put lacey in a wet suit head scratching: if her body is no longer that of a twenty year old (which it would be nice if Hollywood would finally show us that), then put her in a sarong. Wet suits hide nothing and just drew attention to any "problem areas" because you wondered what they were trying to hide. I did like the deeper emotional content Hallmark at least touched on; that alone have this is seventh star from me. Shows that Hallmark has occasional respect for their audiences.
