Left Me in the Air

A new Saturday night Hallmark romance is always an anticipated joy. Sadly, this film did not live up to that anticipation. While the lead actress struggled valiantly to do something evocative with the weak and predictable script, her efforts were futile. Cindy Busby is always the energetic, expressive lead actress one counts on . She has a dazzling smile, sparkling eyes and a true sense of the role she is in. This script did not give her enough to work with , and her gifts were sorely wasted. To her credit, this is the first movie this viewer has ever seen on Hallmark where the lead actress is in a bathing suit. Not only is she in a bathing suit, but she looks perfectly comfortable in it. She is also viewed in a bikini bathing suit "bottom" that is the most audacious wardrobe risk Hallmark has ever taken. Good for Cindy Busby ! How innovative and courageous of her to accept these wardrobe demands. Her leading man was a mystery. Not being familiar with any of his previous work he was new to this viewer. What was wrong with his uncombed hair? Could a wardrobe/makeup staff member not have brushed his straggling hair off his forehead and given him a cleaner appearance?

With very little script and plot to work with, and with the story line being the most familiar Hallmark theme, the real star of this movie was Lake Tahoe. Stunning and thrilling to look at and a good distraction from a predictable and unoriginal story.
