It's not the script

Northener

Nor is it the two leads. The script, while not great, has a lot of the usual Hallmark/ romance tropes. Cindy has done quite a few movies for Hallmark, and Torrance does period pieces for crying out loud. So why is it so bad? The production. This is just another really low budget job out of Utah. Don't believe me, check out the director's credits. He's done a few of these non-Hallmark films. I usually see these films on other channels, and quickly change the channel. Even with different directors and producers they all have bad cinematography, 2-3 local hires (are they even actors?) and the same canned music that plays on no matter what is happening in the scene.

This is clearly an acquisition that Hallmark would not have made if not for the shut down of their own productions. I find it funny that alot of times people complain about most of their stuff being filmed in Canada. Well that's because they have higher production values for a lower price. Same as the ones filmed in Georgia. This odd film is what you get for cheap in Utah, and I can't believe they get any money for these things.

score 1/10
