I fell in love with this series right from the start. Freddie Highmore is an amazing actor. To act as a someone with autism is impressive but as a English actor to act with an American accent on top of that is outstanding. The series was a mix of happy & sad & was like riding a rollercoaster. I admired the character of Aaron Glassman played by Richard Schiff who I enjoyed watching in the West Wing (another amazing series) & loved his relationship with Shaun who believed in him & supported him & who was more of a father to him that his real father. I've just watched the very last episode & admit that I shed a few tears. I'll really miss this series & will definitely watch again.
I absolutely loved this film. I rarely give 10 stars but this film definitely deserves it. Kristoffer Polaha (who I'm a big fan of) was perfect in the role of Jack Houston and there was great chemistry between him and Bethany Joy Lenz. I love the 'His Merry Wife' film within the film shot in black and white and in 4:3. The whole film had an old-style 1940s feel to it which made it nostalgic. The dialogue was excellent as was the acting. As an added surprise, it was great to see Jonathan Frakes playing a large part and Mary McDonough, Rachel Boston and Wes Brown in cameo roles. I hope that Hallmark make more films like this one rather than the usual formulaic girl meets up with a previous boyfriend etc, etc. I am hoping that it will be released on DVD which I will definitely purchase.
I thought this film would be really romantic so I stuck with the story that Lea & Mark were investigating. I wish I hadn't bothered. There was no chemistry between the lead actors. As for the script - it was so painful particularly the church scene where Lea asked who were the characters in the nativity display - it was dreadfully painful to sit through & embarrassing. The fake French accents were also obvious although that didn't apply to all. I also found it difficult to get my head around the fact that Jaicy's character, Lea, had never left the country (assuming that she didn't have a passport), but was able to magically travel to France the next day!! The only redeeming feature of this film is the location. This is 1.5 hours I'll never get back.
