The Vows We Keep

Linda Thorson and Michele Scarabelli as the heart of this nice film about relation between siblings, place of childhood and youth, reconciliation after long time, a fundamental decision and the happy solution.

For .Antonio Cayonne , just applauses for fair manner to explore his role.

A nice film for its flavors of nostalgia and delicate sketch of romance.

Sadly, I see an overall low rating for this movie. The scenery is outstanding and adds to the scope of the story immensely. The casting was excellent. The storyline was sadly all tocommon where the brilliant long time employee who is a female gets passed over for a male not qualified for the job. But fortunately circumstances smile upon two people who are disenchanted with their jobs. And they find love and work that satisfies the both of them together in this pleasant and lovely movie. The flowers, the setting, the story, all add up to a pleasant evening of watching a worthwhile movie from Hallmark.

I like Hallmark recommitting itself to serious family films under its Movies & Mysteries banner. It is a nice break from TV mystery reruns, although new Hallmark Signature mysteries are always welcome.

Leave the fluffy, formulaic romances on regular Hallmark and give this service more depth.

They are off to a fair start.

The new Hallmark movies are tripping all over themselves trying to appease the woke crowd by being super "inclusive." In this movie the "romance" is so forced it's ridiculous. The love connection that is supposed to happen is obvious form the first scene and it just falls flat. Plunk. But at least the production company can say they tried and check off that box.

I agree with the others about the lack of romance. Most of the movie was about a family business. The lead couple's interactions with each other were almost an afterthought, and their relationship felt unearned.

If you have 80-90 minutes of screen time, you have to spend more than a couple of minutes on the lead couple if you want the audience to buy into them.
