Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
heidibetrug This movie - typical Hallmark fare - was one of the worst I've ever seen. That it has a predictable plot is putting it mildly; it's a cacophony of cliches. Driven career woman/ single mom tries to relax and finish a book during a summer at the shore. The rented duplex just HAPPENS to have a handsome "tenant" who is her opposite; relaxed, a bit messy, seemingly unambitious. But wait for it.....they share a mutual attraction to each other which she fights and he gets around by schmoozing with her kids . And he of course, is not what he seems! Surprise, right? The character of Jenna is so controlling, such a helicopter mom and so pointlessly rude that it's not believable that this or any guy would fall for her. And the actress is so stiff, so one dimensional. Her face is frozen into one blank expression throughout the entire movie and she delivers her silly lines like a bored robot. The other characters and actors are okay but Jenna, the star, throws a wet blanket over the entire production. She MUST be related to someone in the production company to have landed this role; surely she didn't best others in auditions. Given that this is from Hallmark, the ending is supposed to be happy and heartwarming. And I guess it is...it gave me heartburn.
Miss M I started this movie without reading the plot or anything, I just knew it was Peter Porte (Baby Daddy) and summer.I'm gonna be honest: the movie it's nothing out of the ordinary, typical Hallmark. But if you enjoy these type of movies, you'll definitely like this. What I liked the most was the summer vibe (it's winter where I live and I miss it) and let's say i'm a sucker for romance. I found myself grinning more than once.The movie as a whole was good, a few details here and there that we can let go. The chemistry was good. The children were adorable. I personally believe that Lucas was very charming and Jenna wasn't that uptight, that's what moms should be like. This is the perfect movie to watch in the evening or at night with a big glass of soda or ice cream under the fan, with the whole family.
tofuti45 This was a very lighthearted,relaxing summer romance movie for the entire family to watch, with NO violence, No filthy words, No sex, nor abundant nudity, just good clean entertainment. I would like to salute the Producer, the director, the writer, and the entire crew of the Cartel, for making a movie "these days" without all that stuff, and thanks to Hallmark ( my all time FAVORITE channel) for showing it--keep up the good work !!! The movie was filmed in Tybee Island and they did a fantastic job of spanning some of the best views of that Island, I know because we were there at the time of the filming. Almost like a quaint ole' fashioned shore (or beach) town that reminds one of the times when they were not so commercialized, with awesome and "unusual" food-eateries, and huge sandy beaches, just relaxing beautiful days and nights.
Amy Adler Jenna (Amanda Righetti) is a divorced mother of eleven year old twins. She is just beginning a new career as a teen book novelist, having had one successful book. But, alas, she has been experiencing writer's block so she takes her family to a beautiful duplex on Tybee Island. As there is a summer camp for kids, her children can go swimming and hiking while she devotes her energies to meeting her publishers deadline. But, wait, wait! Next door there is a great looking single man, Lucas (Peter Porte) who, nevertheless, proves problematic. He has a carefree attitude about noise, beach parties, and his wandering dog. This stresses Jenna in a big way and she immediately erects a larger fence so the canine can't wander over to her patio. More importantly, after initial bad impressions of this man, his winning ways and handsome smile are diverting Jenna the most! But, with his not-ready-for-marriage-kids attitude, should she let herself get to know him better? Will her son become a better competitive swimmer? WILL SHE FINISH HER BOOK ON TIME? At this point, what can a romantic comedy fan say but a thousand thanks to Hallmark for continuing to provide funny, wholesome, and very romantic films for those who love the genre best. Righetti is beautiful and assertive while Porte, a dead ringer for Jim Caviezel, is a handsome, head-turning star. All of the secondary cast, sets, costumes, script and direction combine to create a film to savor and sigh over. As its brand new, do try to catch a viewing at the earliest possible moment.
