I typically rate movies on the Hallmark app, but I went back and noticed that anything with a less than favorable rating was not approved while my reviews for the movies I loved are on each one. Fine - Hallmark wants to skew its reviews, I'll come to IMDB. The only good thing about this movie is the scenery and the leading man who tries to carry the scenes. Jaicy is the Hallmark Kristen Stewart: one note acting and no emotion. Well, that's not entirely fair because she does show one emotion: a smirk with dead eyes. I've watched her in three Hallmark movies now, and it's the same acting in each one. I'm so tired of seeing her praised as the "every woman." Yes, she's close to my size, but that doesn't mean I have to automatically love her. I'm also blonde - that doesn't mean I have to love every natural blonde actress either. I expect more from a movie that is supposed to be entertaining. She was clearly hired to tick a box, because she doesn't fit the role at all. I did appreciate the scenery - it was gorgeous. And I didn't mind that it's not a typical ending to this type of mystery, but this movie fell very flat.
