Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone

Nice exploration of sensitive themes, nice acting, sweet end. A story charming for the jewels and gem tree and the rebelious teen niece and the assume of parent status of older brother with not pleasant result.

In short, a seductive Hallmark film , in my case, not ignoring the mentioned motives, for Tom Everett Scott and the sketches for jewels , absolutely poetic, one by one. In the first case, he is one of actors remembering my youth for his early roles and teen stories well interpreted. The seconfd, maybe as wake up of the hidde desire to create jewels .

So, like the other reviewer , I saw it as a pleasant film . And this is not exactly a real insignificant virtue.

The film is fine, but the lead apparent 16 year old is not only incredibly annoying but she is clearly 21 and literally is plus the overacting of her pretending to be is dreadful.

It's hard it ignore when she is in most scenes.

Otherwise it's a typical TV movie.

This is a beautiful movie about second chances with romance, mystery, funny scenes and gemstones as Benedict Stone turns his life around with the help of his young niece.

Wow! This movie was the first "marriage recovery" story I've ever watched that didn't feel at all depressing. In fact, it was beautiful and sweet and full of hope. For me, it was the niece's bright cheeriness and the uncle/husband's precious loyalty and gentlemanliness that made this movie so good.

I really liked all the cast. I thought both Scott and Maestro did a excellent job but. Ballentine (Gemma) was the real reason this movie was so very good!
