The protagonist is an English antiques dealer who visits a small American town in search for the other half of a legendary locket. Surprisingly, the movie turned out to be a cross between romantic comedy and crime mystery.
This movie is something new and refreshing from Hallmark. And it's an excellent way to kill 80 minutes. The content is clean, and it never dips into political agenda.
However, the prologue scene is of two lovers in Regency England. It feels melodramatic, with the quality of acting. Just endure these two minutes, and the movie jumps to the present, which has better acting.
Fair warning, early in the movie, there's a jarring scene where the protagonist does something really stupid. You're left wondering, "What was she thinking?!" In real life, the consequences might have been worse.
I've liked Viv Leacock ever since the Hailey Dean Mysteries. In Legend of the Lost Locket, his character is overall likable. But there are a couple scenes where I wish the screenwriter had made him softer, more willing to listen.
Still, I definitely recommend this movie.
