Moriah's Lighthouse

Had high hopes for this one. There are some funny moments but the storyline is unrealistic, requiring a stretch of the imagination to make the story remotely believable. The lead actress bouncing between a French accent and English with no accent was distracting. Hallmark movies of late are using the same plot devices over and over. Too formulaic, and lacking in originality despite beautiful locations and some wonderful actors.

She may have grown up in Montreal and perhaps even spoke French however her accent comes & goes throughout the film. I love this actor so I'm disappointed that she didn't carry off the correct accent or keep the poor accent consistently. But the scenery is lovely.

An OK Hallmark movie. A bit of a better story line than the other Hallmark movies The only drawback was the "French" accent, or lack thereof. The female lead sounds like a transplanted American.

One of the reviewers complained about Luke MacFarlane's acting as he is gay and acting a romantic goofy guy in love with a woman isn't plausible. The reviewer is probably too young to remember Rock Hudson, who played a goofy romantic. That is what makes Luke a good actor.

Aside from the obvious upside of shooting 'Moriah's Lighthouse' on the French coast, the movie also benefits from having a script written by Paul Campbell. When he isn't starring in some of Hallmark's best and most successful movies, he's writing them. One heck of a double act.

Luke Macfarlane is as reliable as ever in the role of Ben McCane and has some genuinely funny scenes. Sometimes "comedy" in Hallmark movies falls awkwardly and embarrassingly flat, but not in 'Moriah's Lighthouse'.

Macfarlane and Rachelle Lefevre, who I've never seen before in a Hallmark movie, are a brilliant couple. Their chemistry works really well.

Throw in the undeniably beautiful scenery, and - despite a few plot holes - you have an above-average Hallmark movie.

I love Luke MacFarland and Rachelle LeFevre. And he was his usual charming self. She was not at all believable. Her fake accent was grating and seeing her "working" on an antique wooden chest wearing a shoulder less blue sweater and a leather apron was laughable. I struggled to stay interested in spite of the beautiful scenery and architecture. They just weren't enough to compensate for the lousy storyline and fake accents.
