ricktidd This is the first review I have ever written but had to comment. I love hallmark movies but this was pathetic. The acting was atrocious. Could not even finish watching it was so bad.
Louise Pledge Good family movies are all too rare; we need more like this! At first, I thought the "ditzy blonde" scenes were a little much, a little corny and overdone. That is, until I watched with grandchildren who thought they were hilarious. Then I realized that those things MAKE the movie family fare... something to appeal to all ages. The acting was perfection, itself; I was very impressed with the personality characterizations. In fact, I admit that I even had to wonder if James Best still "had it". Yes, he certainly does; he was just the right guy for the part. Don't hang up your acting hat yet, Jimmy!Hats off to the Damians for another great movie!
edwagreen Her whole entire life collapses suddenly when her doctor husband wants a divorce so that he can marry his pregnant acupuncture lady.Our heroine's life goes upside down. With a pre-marital nuptial agreement, there is no money for her, her friends disown her and she returns to plain existence in New Jersey, to be with her baker father.There she comes back to regular, ordinary people and does baking for her father. When one of her new products is a hit, a group wants to build a franchise around it, but without her father. Our lady has learned her lesson well. It's still about people and not the luxuries of material successes. This point driven home made the film so good.
importer This might have been a really cute, feel-good movie just like the rest of the Hallmark brand. BUT, the characters or caricatures in this case are so badly drawn that they aren't even believable as humans. The story line could have done with a lot fewer pratfalls and devices to carry it along. The idea that the woman is leaving a fifteen year marriage to an extremely wealthy man with nothing is simply laughable. In the end, when the epiphany comes, it is impossible to believe that this simpering, vapid shopper is even capable of an original thought.The writers do a great disservice to women everywhere when they portray us as such pathetic creatures, totally dependent on some man's identity.
