Kite Festival of Love

Loved the almost Chesepeake Shores like scenery. I thought all the charachter's were lovely. Good storyline . I adore Jessica's singing in the movie. It lead me to find her other songs. Definitely one of my favorites.

This movie is ok and they dealt reasonably well with filming in the pandemic - the kite flying scenes are beautiful but in unrealistically small spaces, however that's understandable considering the global situation. As frequently happens, there's too much pressure on the lead to find love and I had to fast forward the piano lesson scenes, because progress was ridiculously fast, sadly typical in TV shows. Indeed, there's quite a lot packed into the time frame, but it's a got good age range with three generations and the dog is characterized better than in many such flicks.

We just watched this 2021 movie and we loved it! It has a wonderful story line, low drama, and great acting. I especially like the "adult" and sensitive handling of situations and relationships such as loss of a parent/spouse, pushy girlfriend wanna be, potential step-child relationship, and parent/adult children relationships. Even the protagonist's actions in the end were a nice surprise.

I also loved the dialog between the girl and her father about her music teacher. She was very sensitive and mature. Kudos to the writer.

I LOVED it! I wish all script writers would take a lesson and lose the high school - type drama and manipulation that is often prevalent in romance movies.

The story is a light on the light side. It felt like the rival story of the ex girlfriend was purely filler because there wasn't a whole lot else going on other than Jennifer Lowndes. To give my statements context, Lowndes used to be one of my least favorite of the Hallmark-like stars.

Lowndes plays an appealing single woman winning her way into the family of a widower father and his daughter. There's fond history between the families but it doesn't seem like Hannah and Gavin ever dated. Lowndes and Christopher Russel have a quiet chemistry. The three-way relationship is part of the appeal of the movie.

The other appealing note of this movie is Lowndes' songs. I always enjoy her performances in movies like this.

The movie is very predictable as are most romance movies but it was still cute and it was nice seeing Jessica Lowndes in a movie after so long. Good for a one time watch.
