Good Sam (2022)
No one is likeable
I have a general rule of thumb...I will generally continue watching a show if there is at least one character that I want to root for...one...just one. Is that such a huge ask? On "Good Sam" there isn't a single person that I want to spend any amount of time with on this show. The leads? They are so markedly annoying it's like being in the worst Zoom team meeting. The one that leaves you wanting to pluck your own eyes out. I'm done. This show is not a keeper.
Raise a Glass to Love (2021)
A step up from the usual Hallmark drivel
Started watching this because of the BC Okanagan location (once again doubling as "Sonoma"), my love of wine, and the fact that the main winery location is about a three minute drive from my mom's house. I continued watching because I frankly liked it. Yes, it's not perfect by any means, but Laura Osnes and Juan Pablo Di Pace elevated the film above the voluminous repetitive dreck that Hallmark has been churning out recently. I especially liked Juan Pablo Di Pace. I don't recognize him from anything I've seen, but he plays earthy and charming very well. I'll look forward to him in other roles (not necessarily Hallmark...sorry to any die-hard Hallmark groupies.)
The Big Leap (2021)
Really well done so far!
I'm pretty ruthless with premieres. It's not beyond me to cut a new show after the first 10 minutes...but this first episode flew by and I really wished it was a double-header. I laughed throughout and was actually interested in each character's story (which says a lot...not a fan of most programming on Fox). I'm really looking forward to the next episodes. Fingers crossed it can sustain this same level of energy and likeability, and be picked up for a full season.
See You Soon (2019)
Went in with low expectations...ending up loving this film!
Although unabashedly borrowing from "An Affair To Remember", this story kept me enthralled the whole way through. It's a warm and simple love story. Wait, I stand corrected. "Simple" doesn't sum it up. The gorgeous and authentic St. Petersburg locations and the cultural influences woven into each scene elevated the cinematography and the script out of the ordinary and into "surprising" film territory. If you are a true romantic with a travel bug, definitely watch this film!
Not Cinderella's Type (2018)
What a lovely film
This was such a refreshingly sweet and wholesome film. Recommendable for all ages. It touched my heart and even made me cry. Loved it!
