Sweet Home Carolina (2017)
Could have been Much better
The story itself is not a bad thing. Paul Greene also never disappoints. He's the reason I gave it at least a 3.
Someone mentioned that Diane, the mother, was selfish and not a caring parent. My take is that, in the beginning, she should have been honest with her kids and let them know how hard she was trying to hold everything together. I didn't find her to be uncaring at all, she just had a lot on her plate and was really stressed, while trying to be a single parent.
The teenager, Andrea, was the snooty, immature, rude and disrespectful brat. She played her part very well.
I kept getting more and more agitated while watching this movie. Reading the responses here, someone hit the nail on the head. TOO GIDDY. Way too much laughing, or nervous laughter for everything. My goodness, Diane couldn't hardly say a word without the constant annoying laugh. It surprises me that the director kept all that in.
It would really be a great movie to watch again if you could cut out all the annoying laughter.
27 Dresses (2008)
Disappointing.........
I had been looking forward to watching this movie. Sorely disappointed.
This could have been a really cool movie, but fell short in my opinion. The actors/actresses themselves did a good job, but the story line had no momentum. Very hum drum. The dress trying on/picture taking was the funniest part of the movie. I also didn't think the story flowed that well.
The Irresistible Blueberry Farm (2016)
Great feel good movie/great chemistry w/lead actors
Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas have great chemistry in this movie. City girl travels to beautiful rural town to deliver a letter from her recently deceased grandmother. A few run-ins with the handsome local carpenter and she's feeling tugs at her heartstrings as to what to do, since she is some-what engaged to someone else. It's a cozy heart-warming story. All the actors/actresses do a great job and nothing felt cheesy. I fell in love with Marc Blucas after this movie. Alison Sweeney always performs well. Love the dance scene. I like it when the Hallmark movie can just take you away from the real world for a couple of hours. Highly recommend this one.
