Icing on the Cake

Katrina Norman beautiful and adorable but the acting isn't great in this one. She did fine but most of the male actors should brush up on their skills. The story was fine and it was worth watching.

The acting was absolutely appalling, especially the father and the father's assistant. There was no chemistry between the leads, the leading lady was weak, as were her lines. The leading man didn't bother acting and just churned out the verbal mess of a script.

The whole thing was a waste of time and perhaps the scriptwriters may be better placed in other spheres of work, along with the actors.

The story was predictable but ok, nothing new or original but it still kinda works.

The real problem starts with the acting, aside from the 2 main actors everyone was absolutely unwatchable. Every interaction or line felt so badly performed, it was almost laughable.

The only good thing about the movie was the main characters, Jacob(Brad Benedict) was a stiff but relatively good enough, As for his co-star Victoria(Katrina Norman), she was a true breath of fresh air, the only shining star in the movie. Her charm just bursts out and colors the rest of an otherwise bleak movie. Please let us see more of her, and next time in a movie she can really shine through.

5.1 out of 10 stars.

People commenting here watched it on GAC somewhat recently and act like it's the product of GAC... it was originally produced by Hallmark and also aired on Lifetime. It was filmed in 2019 and released in 2020 - GAC launched in late 9/2021 - so common sense dictates that GAC had nothing to do with the production. It's very common for newly launched channels to buy movies from other channels to air - sometimes even changing the name. GAC has aired several Lifetime and Hallmark movies since they launched while they build their own library of originals. Also common is to have a lower production quality early on because money is tight. (Hallmarks were WAY worse than this in the beginning and only started improving in the last 5 years).

Here's a thought - if you don't like these kind of movies, don't watch them. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Movies like this are appreciated by millions - you think we don't know it's basically the same plot over and over? Lol. You think we can't see it's predictable? We enjoy the simplicity. We enjoy the innocence. We enjoy the tradition. If you don't, don't watch. Pretty simple.

Too cliche.. nothing interesting about it. Just a wastage of time really
