Wonderful Movie

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is the first review I have ever written but had to comment. I love hallmark movies but this was pathetic. The acting was atrocious. Could not even finish watching it was so bad.

I was originally attracted to this movie to watch James Best perform. I have been a fan of his for years and have never been disappointed in his performances. I was also aware that this was the last movie that he was in before passing away about eighteen months later. As usual, Mr. Best was at the top of his ability and delivered another solid performance. If he was having any health problems, it did not show. It can be said with clear conviction that he went out on top. I did not recognize the name "Kathryn Morris" and was doubly impressed with her ability to do comedy. No disrespect to Ms. Morris but I had never seen her do comedy before and she acted like she had been doing it for many years. Also, Ms. Morris can certainly carry the torch if Goldie Hawn decides to retire but I hope Ms. Hawn stays at it for awhile longer. The comparison between Ms. Morris and Ms. Hawn is not meant to diminish either one of these very talented performers. To my great surprise when I checked IMDB to find that I had had been watching her in Cold Case. As an all around actress, she is A#1. This is a good, clean, funny, family movie without being syrupy. Well worth my time. Good job everyone and rest in peace Mr. Best.

Through the first 5/8ths of the movie, Desiree was totally unlikable, even ditsy. She was arrogant and rude. In the name of humor, too many of the characters were exaggerated, almost buffoon-like. And how does an MBA from Columbia sign a prenup, against her lawyer's advice, that leaves her with nothing, not even her ring. Her snooty friends dump her harder than her husband did. Her lawyer shows up for a meeting with her husband's attorney drunk, or high. Then Desiree kicks into high gear and what she does next with the bakery is a little ridiculous even in a Hallmark movie. And somehow despite her rejecting him twice, Benny still wants to date her. And on the first date, which includes her Dad and his friends, he falls madly in love with her, or is it lust. Finally she does the 180 degree character change that is so common in romance movies and no longer wants to live on Fifth Avenue or even associate with her rich ex-friends. I was waiting for the enjoyable part to kick in and it never did.

I wish I was good at writing reviews, but I'm terrible. Still had to write regarding Sweeter Side though. What a cute,fun, family movie. It was good to see the main character come out on top after so much bad things that got thrown her way. And to see a family stick together too. I couldn't get enough of it. We need more fun movies like this one. Keep them coming. I highly recommend everyone watch it. ") Everyone involved, did a great job. I also loved the music that was featured. Will be buying the soundtrack, if one comes out.I plan on buying it when it comes out on DVD too. Applause to the writing and directing team of Michael and Janeen Damian.
