    Sweet and Sour

    I always love a Lacey Chabert HMM so I liked this but was hesitant to watch just because I don't particularly enjoy sad content and child acting. But because it was Lacey, I watched. I also was excited that she was co-starred with the male because one of my all time favorite HMM is "Winter in Vail" but for some reason they did not seem to "fit". He seemed like he would not be a good fit for her in the story. And I feel so mean saying this if he has an issue with hair loss or something but what was up with that hair????? My husband even noticed, and that is saying something! Lol It looked like hair plugs or just so wierd of a hair style? Who is he, an italian mobster? It distracted me sooo badly, I couldn't focus on the dialogue! Haha.

    Again, I typically skip the sad content movies but had to watch because of Lacey. Glad I watched but way too sad for me! I watch HMM to get away from "real" life NOT watch it.

    Sweet Carolina

    6/10 - a little more depressing than your typical Hallmark fare and the main characters' friends/family were the absolute worst, but it was nice to see Lacey Chabert add writing to her credits.

    little more than nice

    So many motives to be very critic about this film , from dialogues to unrealism of situations. But it has a great gift - the cast. When you see often Hallmark films, you have the privilege to discover same actors in almost same roles. So, a sort of routine. Real pleasant in the case of Sweet Carolina because the real provocative themes are superficial explored but the nice portraits of Josie Wilder, Cooper Avchen , parents of Josue, her boyfriend and the kids are just fair options.

    I loved the advertising for water , American, becoming CZech. The flashbacks and, in same measure, the family photos . In short, little more than nice.

    Lacey And Tyler Are Strong Leads

    The parents of two teens are killed in an auto accident. When the mother's sister comes back to North Carolina for the funeral, she unexpectedly finds that she has been selected by the parents to take custody of the kids. Lacey Chabert plays the part of Josie, the surprised sister, and does a fine job of portraying the strong emotions that attend such drama.

    Tyler Hynes plays the part of Cooper, the ex-boyfriend who is unattached and still living in their hometown. The chemistry between them is adequate. But he does an excellent job providing an accent and attitude that make this Canadian production feel like it might actually take place in the U. S. south.

    This Hallamark romance follows the usual templates---sometimes annoyingly so. But the acting is good. And the film's music is a cut above.

    Good Movie

    I thought this was a good movie. Lacey and Tyler had good chemistry. My biggest drawback was Tyler's hair. Hallmark really needs to address the horrible wigs they use. It was so distracting. He's a handsome man in a horrible wig. What's up with that Hallmark?

    • Quotes

      Cooper Avchen: ...which reminds me, there's something I wanted to ask you.

      Josie Wilder: Wait, wait, Coop.

      Cooper Avchen: I know you got a lot on your plate, and I don't want, I don't want to ad to that, but, uh... Josie, will you, um...

      Josie Wilder: Uh, okay. I... Cooper, I know what you're gonna say.

      Cooper Avchen: You do?

      Josie Wilder: Yeah. I... I know what you're feeling, and it's... it's not real. Okay, maybe it's real, but it's... it's... I've, I've only been back a short time, and, I mean, I was just talking about how completely confused and overwhelmed I am minute ago, and that hasn't changed in the last 60 seconds. It's been so nice to hang out with you. It feels good. It feels really good, but all of this talk about, you know, grand gestures, and what if I had stayed in town... It's not grounded in reality, and right now, I have to be all about reality. I'm sorry if it hurts you, but no. The answer is... the answer is no.

      Cooper Avchen: That's all right. I'll just ask somebody else.

      Josie Wilder: What?

      Cooper Avchen: I didn't realize it would be such a big deal.

      Josie Wilder: But of.. of course it's a big deal. I mean, it's a... it's a big deal.

      Cooper Avchen: It's only temporary, until I get another one on my own.

      Josie Wilder: I'm sorry. Is one not enough for you?

      Cooper Avchen: I think it's every guy's dream to have one for family and one for the weekend fun.

      Josie Wilder: How can you talk about something like this so casually?

      Cooper Avchen: What do you think we're talking about?

      Cooper Avchen: Marriage.

      Cooper Avchen: What?

      Josie Wilder: We're talking about...

      Cooper Avchen: Did you think I was proposing to you?

      Josie Wilder: You... Okay, no. Mr Cox, he said that you ordered an engagement ring for a grand gesture! And we're sitting here, and you pull this, this ring box out of your pocket.

      Cooper Avchen: It was jamming into my leg. This is Nate's. He's proposing to Molly next week.

      Josie Wilder: So what are you doing with it?

      Cooper Avchen: He had me arrange the whole thing so he wouldn't get caught.

      Josie Wilder: But than you brought me here, and you said you wanted to ask me something.

      Cooper Avchen: I do want to ask you something. I wanted to ask you if I could use your father's van for game nights.

      Josie Wilder: The van?

      Cooper Avchen: Yes, just until I get enough money to get my own, and since I crashed his Chevy in high school, I thought I didn't want to ask him. I thought maybe you could ask him.

      Josie Wilder: Of course you can borrow the van. You can have the van.

      Cooper Avchen: Thank you.

      Josie Wilder: Yeah. I'm just gonna go crawl under a rock over there.

      Cooper Avchen: Don't do that.

      Josie Wilder: We can never speak of this.

      Cooper Avchen: No, it's okay.

      Josie Wilder: Thank you so much.

      Cooper Avchen: It's a common mistake.

      Josie Wilder: I'll just go.

      Cooper Avchen: It happens all the time. Could've been yours.

      Josie Wilder: It would be great if we never spoke about this.
