Sweet Pecan Summer (2021)
People were apparently paid to pretend to be actors for this movie.
Couldn't stand the lack of acting skills. And the squeaky voices didn't help. I bailed on it after a few minutes and my wife lasted another 5 or 7 minutes before she said she couldn't stand it any longer. Could have been a good generic formula Hallmark movie that we enjoy regularly. Don't miss any on purpose. This is maybe the second or third we bailed on in the last couple years.
A Winter Getaway (2021)
Hokey X10; unbelievable, contrived, mediocre acting
A real concierge would NOT have believed he was a rich guy for one minute. Way too many clues. That whole setup not believable.
The "regular Joe" (haha-that's his name) parts are super forced and contrived.
I just couldn't get over the hokey factor to enjoy it at all.
Paris, Wine & Romance (2019)
Lost a star or two with murdering my valley's name
All was going ok with a typical completion script story until Hallmark MURDERED the pronunciation of the wonderful valley where I live.
It's wi-LAM'-et
NOT WILL'-a-MET'
Hallmark please do your due diligence on place names you use. Or if you had filmed in Oregon someone would have corrected you.
And while we're at it, thank you Hallmark for at least saying Oregon correctly.
It's OR'-eh-gun
NOT OR-eh-GONE
Runaway Jury (2003)
Not nearly like the book
I was disappointed that the overlying theme was changed. It didn't need to be.
Christmas in Love (2018)
Classic corporate owner son wants to automate
Lissing and D'Orsay are the glue that holds together a story that has been told umpteen times. I struggled with some scenes such as the incompetence of the corporate guy (Lissing) in squeezing a tube of frosting. But smiles and laughs of Lissing and D'Orsay brighten many scenes. A six rating is probably generous...but those smiles...
The Big Bang Theory (2007)
Haters gonna hate no matter how funny a show is.
We had the show recommended to us from multiple sources but resisted during a time with less viewing time available. Now retired we started watching from season one. Have watched all episodes and started over again. Viewing the second time through was still a laugh every scene. We like the later season episodes as well as the early ones. A wonderful ensemble of cast members deliver a well written show every episode.
