Audience Member This was a gentle, touching movie. Very little drama but felt real. All the actors were great and L.J. won my heart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Good story & plot. Gloria Reuben's acting was terrible. She basically was stoic the entire time and showed so little emotion. Not at any point did she seem like a person WITH emotions. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not that great, but has it's moments Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member reminds us of some of life's realities Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Expected a little more, not bad not good. Suprised that Halmark mentioned rape in one of their movies. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member normal rainy afternoon stuff. not horriable but not earth shattering, just nice Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
