ridiculous rating

How sad is this?

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Incredible and stunning cinematography and fantastic editing. The storyline was captivating from the first second. Frances Fisher's portrayal of an almost neurotic, Type A, advertising executive was spot on and raised the enjoyment level of this movie.As Tammy (Fisher), a high-powered ad executive driving to Phoenix for a very important meeting. She took a wrong turn and is driving through the Sedona area when a plane makes an emergency landing on the road and basically rear-ends her car. Tammy is not only forced to miss her meeting with one of the most important clients of her career, but is relegated to a 2-3 day visit in this town of "strange" people. As the story progresses, Tammy realizes that the pit stop may have happened for a reason. Tammy dismisses the notion of the vortex effect, but gradually begins to soften when all her setbacks in Sedona bring surprising consequences. The story takes twists and turns suggesting that the vortexes of Sedona play a part in connecting the various scenarios within the film.The only downside to this movie is the acting of some of the supporting characters....however, I thoroughly enjoyed the film which is available on Hulu. The cinematography itself is worth the watch.

Through a series of incidences of Murphy's Law, travelers get stuck together near Sedona, Arizona.Tammy cannot get to her meeting: a plane lands on her car; the mechanic cannot get required parts; she locked herself out of her rental car. While waiting for her car to be fixed, she gets a pedicure from Beth, who asks her how her son is doing.Scott's younger son gets lost. They are lucky enough to encounter a local search and rescue professional, who helps them look.Tammy gets to revisit past wounds, and to get the opposite of prepared for her meeting.Scott gets to find his younger son. So?Tammy and Scott meet late in the show, and the matter of Tammy's child given up for adoption is resolved. Her meeting is lost.Cinematography: 8/10 Amazingly good, except for outdoor closeups. Some of the exteriors seemed to be color-enhanced.Sound: 6/10 Well done, except for the severely overblown musical nonsense toward the end of the film.Acting: 7/10 Reasonable for the script, even including the child actors.Screenplay: 6/10 Well-intended I suppose, but just not interesting and too heavy-handed.

Sedona was a wonderful movie to watch. It's a great feel-good movie. Rightly so, they acknowledge the gay community by placing it in the main plot. Frances was wonderful to watch on-screen. It is a shame she has not been recognized at awards ceremonies. Beth is fun to watch. She's light hearted, quirky and care-free. Seth had a demanding presence when he was in a scene. He is truly a great actor. Trevor was simply awesome. He's very good for being so young! If there was a down-side to this film, it was only it's low budget. Due to this, the special effects are relatively terrible. I really hope a major production company will back this movie so they may improve on the special effects. This movie leaves you feeling good when it ends. They've done a great job on this movie, especially for a low-budget indie film. Congratulations!

I truly enjoyed this movie but thought something was missing. I'm from NYC and was visiting Sedona during the film festival. Sedona is such a beautiful and relaxing place! We stayed at a resort nearby the movie theaters and our local friends, well not that "local" since they came from Flagstaff to meet us but you get the point, invited us to watch this film that was the main attraction at their film festival. Being a film festival junkie myself (I go every year to most film festivals in NYC), I did not want to miss this one. Since we arrived in Arizona, we encountered so many Hispanics. In our resort, most of the employees were Hispanics; at the spa, there were many too. In the restaurants, the shops, everywhere! No wonder, Arizona was part of Mexico until February 12, 1912 when it became the 48th US state. So when I saw that the movie title was "sedona" I thought it would include such an obvious part of that magical place. It did not. There was no one Hispanic character in this movie. This is the same thing that happened with that movie called "New York I love you" which did not include us "Newyoricans" (Pto. Ricans born in New York) and it also ignored the gay community (there were none in that movie). How can someone do a movie about NYC without including those two groups?? I felt similarly when I saw Sedona, The Movie. There were not Hispanics (if there were, they did not have any lines or assigned roles). The movie itself is great, the views (breathtking!), the scenery, the plot. Very engaging and leaves you with that "feel good" sensation. I was glad to see Christopher Atkins (from Blue Lagoon) acting again and Frances Fisher is such a joy to watch! Beth Grant and Lynn Shaye are two of the best actresses ever! And the little boy is absolutely adorable. But I really missed to see some of those Latino faces I saw in the streets of Sedona. After all, it was all about Sedona. Right?
