Sand Dollar Cove

Any Hallmark film that is said to take place in Connecticut (or anyplace) and is actually filmed there (as opposed to Vancouver) gets a few stars from me. Aly Michalka is also charming, and even seems to be a real estate developer. She has backbone. And having the female lead be something other than a baker or writer or some such is a plus. Nice job.

Hey Hallmark ... PLEASE don't use Aly Michalka again. She isn't suited to romantic roles. She's OK - but her acting is not believable. Her facial expressions are so funny - not suited to the material. She might have been a great Disney actor - but grownup roles are past her abilities. No chemistry with Chad Michael Murray. This movie is just sad. Hallmark's summer 2021 offerings have pretty much all missed the mark... I still DVR them - but I couldn't make it through at least 3 of the 4 without falling asleep. Deleted off my DVR.

OH - and by the way - while it was nice seeing Glynnis O'Connor again - do you understand that she is only 26 years older than Chad Michael Murray? His mom, OK. His grandmother? Not unless she was 12 or 13 when she had his mom/dad and his mom/dad were the same age when they had him. She's the same age as me ... people my age have grandkids who are around 25 or younger. Not in their mid-thirties. She doesn't look old enough to be his grandmother. Silly casting ...

Was a nice movie but the pick for female main character don't was right. She was flat no connection with the character, no passion, expression, was so vanilla.

I liked the lead female. She is beautiful and was chill, so that appealed to me. It's a light feel good movie to pass some time, was fine.

The leads had no real connection & she came across always,a bit sour in expression.

Have seen the lead female in other stuff,where she was decent.

Was a bit of a yawn fest,nothing new or special.

Cinematography & location(s) was nice,but won't make my see it again list.
