10/10
Really nice Hallmark genre movie
11 February 2021
I gave this a 10, not because it is the greatest movie of all time, but within the Hallmark genre it's up at the top. Really nice premise for a series: postal workers in the (fictional) dead letter office manage to follow clues to get a lost letter to the intended recipient and in the process repair a broken life or heart or love or what have you. In the meantime the postal workers themselves are growing and evolving in their own lives. The dialog is quite clever (you need to pay attention to catch some of the references). There is gentle humor woven throughout some tender and difficult moments in the main characters lives. Oliver and Shane ( the main characters) are delightful. The directing and pacing of the show are perfect. There is a scene (near the end) with Oliver and Shane in the postal watering hole, with Moon River playing in the background and Oliver describing to Shane the last time he saw his wife. That scene was absolutely perfect ... when the movie was over we backed it up and watched that scene again. If you watch this movie, ask yourself "Why did they play Moon River during that scene?" If you figure that out, it will open up other things about the movie. (They give you one for free: Come back Shane!). Whoever made this movie loves good movies, and the craft of making movies. If you got this far reading my review, I'm pretty sure you will love this movie.
