Vintage Hearts

This is some of the worst acting I've seen in a very long time. The characters don't seem real and the lines are stilted as they are presented. It would have been better to be presented as a high school play.

I don't think anyone could just sit and watch this without doing something else at the same time. It's too dull for that kind of focus. Everything is slow -- they had a couple of scenes where they literally baked cookies and cleaned a van. That's just not particularly entertaining, and yet this movie does have a bit of charm.

My main complaint is the childish writing. A lot of "Looks like someone's in LOVE?" types of lines from the side characters and too many linguistic slip-ups from the leads (ex. Asking "Do you like me?" instead of "Do you like these?" as if that's even a possible slip-up.)

But it's Hallmark, you know what you're getting with it, and it delivers on that expectation.

Obvious, not the most brilliant Hallmark romance. The basic motives - the bad dialogue and the modest acting . Not the last, the boring cliches , not sustained, in this case, by nothing.

But the cinema evening and the crumbs of Charles Chaplin gags, the mobil fashion shop - I know, a cliche used too much , by pretty in this case -, the prepairs of baby bed are just charming.

Sure, a film demonstrating the lack of inspiration and a sort of improvisation not very clever but , being only a Hallmark, the high expectations about it can be only eccentricities.

Knowing the end, it is easy to see it as reasonable option after a tough work day.

I have seen a lot of Hallmark films and know the usual standard is about the same.

This was the worst hallmark I have ever seen. The acting was very poor! Never seen acting this bad in a hallmark film.

The first thing that struck me was how unnatural the acting was in almost all the characters. That made me wonder if it was the directing or just a poor cast since I am not familiar with practically any of them. Gabrielle Christian and Matthew Smalley were so unnatural that their characters seemed weird. Both of them and Cody Ray Thompson seemed like they were trying too hard. At times I wanted to see more of Anna than Rose. I would say that Sarah Christine Smith was horrible, except I think that was exactly how she was meant to be - an over-the-top Influencer.

The story is bad on several levels. It does seem like it was written by a kid. It was a little confusing exactly what Rose was trying to do. The incident and follow-up that caused the conflict were stupid. What if the owner of record was an absentee landlord or corporation? On the other hand, what led to it should have caused some friction. And then by magic the inevitable happened. Poof.

There was also some stupid dialogue. "Do you like me. It. These fabrics?" followed by "Yeah, you're great... they're great" is just one example.
