i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The above review is the reason why you cannot trust another's views. I really enjoyed the wholesome movie. It showed me that love and compassion win over selfishness. The husband was loving and kind towards his wife, the abandoned baby and mother of the baby. The ending was the topping on the cake! So many movies have profanity in them and acts of selfishness. The fact that the middle aged couple will be helping other babies like Charlie is a real consolation. The blogger is allowing herself to be healed and the teaching on forgiveness was really another enhancer. No, I do not think the movie was poorly written. The background music did not take away from the movie. Also, I loved the landscapes and views of the water. I really liked the peaceful atmosphere. And most importantly, I appreciated the couple's testimony of faith in the true and living God!

Excellent film where Genie Francis, a married woman, is forced to reexamine her priorities when an abandoned baby is left at her door. Francis, who was previously married, gave up her own daughter after the death of her husband. Her current husband also has had difficulties in reconnecting with his son from his first marriage.While temporarily taking care of the baby, they discover what the mother has gone through. She lost her boyfriend in an army training accident and has been virtually abandoned by her mother and the father of the dead youth.She finds all this out through a thorough investigation to determine who had left the child at the door.The film is a great one as it forces up to examine our pasts as well as our ideas.

Notes from the Heart Healer is a light family film that attempts to discuss family ties and relationships between total strangers. It is a small-scaled TV movie that describes the journey of a single mother in a moderate pace and an appropriate tone throughout. The film begins with a dilemma of a single mother whose husband is no longer around, and sets off a journey to ultimate reflection and reconciliation.Violet is a desperate mother of very young age, sick and has just been terminated from her employment. She comes up with a difficult decision - leaving the infant with someone who can care for him - and it is one that drives the drama into motion. What follows is an intact combination of dramatic elements and a sentimental trip from loss to being found.Peyton and King, a newly married couple, are given the characters of total strangers, yet they remain also two main backbone characters that move the film forward as they are left with the responsibility of temporarily taking care of the abandoned child. Peyton is also facing her dark past, and is herself in a dilemma no easier to extricate from than Violet.Violet eventually meets with Peyton, and they together form another intriguing relationship as more is revealed about Violet's family and her husband who is not here to help take care of his own child. It also brings out the husband's father, and ergo it leads to another troubled relationship between him and Violet.Notes from the Heart Healer is a movie made for TV that is both moving and mind-stimulating, devoid of unrelated silliness or a pace too slow, and, pulls itself together by its meaning and emotional effect despite the lack of top-class acting.

The sequel to the 2011 Hallmark TV movie, TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE fails to live up to its predecessor. In this one, Genie Francis has a baby left on her doorstep and realizes she wants a child of her own, even as the mother of the abandoned child regrets her decision and returns.There were some complications, and that is very good for any drama. However, they were resolved so easily that there was no real sense of conflict. There was an incredibly annoying and banal music score that kept poking me in the chest throughout the entire show. In the end, the whole thing turned out to be a piece of idiot plotting, as the entire matter was cleared up by simply asking people what they want.There was some good acting here, but the performances were swamped by a simply written script and production details -- like the music! -- that made me think that none of the people behind the camera cared. If they didn't, you shouldn't either.
