Love, Lost & Found

Trevor Donovan - usually great but didn't resonate with me here. Buff, an obnoxious cheeseburger aaah. Basic premise of the movie fine but the flow of the film and the connection between the characters - non-existent.

I could not overstate how much this movie irritated me. I would have run away from that hideous girl right at the outset. There was nothing likeable about her and then when we found out what she did to Colt it all added up perfectly. Kick her to the curb, fast and keep on running......

The premise stands out from Hallmark's usual romances. Utah is gorgeous. Both romantic leads are likable. The park ranger is an adorable character. And the movie has a lot of funny moments.

Text: If you can make it past the first 5 or so minutes without uttering once 'Will you shut up please', then this movie is for you. Romance it is with an outdoors vibe to it, so much so they could have titled it 'Love in the Mountains'. If, on the other hand, you did utter those words or possibly a few 'huh' or two, then I would wait for when you don't mind suspending all belief in reality (I don't mean sci-fi) and just go blotto-brain.

Remember, when going into National Parks to take out what you bring in. Summary: Watchable, for when nothing better is playing.

Thank you,

But there were a few redeeming moments and I got there. Not the best movie I have seen of late but bearable. The one thing that really grated was Jake's attempt at an Australian accent. Arrrrggghhhhh!!! Trust me not everyone down under talks like Crocodile Dundee and thank heaven for that. Worse ways to spend 90 minutes.

With Danielle, Melanie, and Jake Stormoen, there is a good story, beautiful scenery, and adventures galore.

Fantastic chemistry, comedy, and respect between Trevor and Danielle. They are the home, the center of this story.

I love Jake. In this movie, though, he is a bit over the top with the too loud, too rushed - fake Aussie-speak. Detracts at times.

Countered

But, the story is well written and tight with drama and comedy for all.

This is a good, compelling story for all audiences to enjoy. Highly recommend it. Enjoy.
