I'll begin with I read the book. The "orchestra" leader, not choir leader was a young woman. Tamara is 45! From the book I thought she was early thirties? Also why does Hallmark HAVE to use and reuse the same actors? Are there no more actors? Total miss-cast here. And the econ teacher? Hot dude who's hot for Tamara? Didn't see that at all. I was so excited when a friend told me they made this into a movie. There will also apparently be more? The book, the ghost, the concept are great. Casting other than the ghost was seriously lacking. The reviews do look as if they might be plants. Saw only one real review although I must saw I had to jump through hoops to find a link to write this one. Unless the cast is reconsidered I won't watch any future extension of this either.
Superb casting and screen writing - really enjoyed and got into this little gem of a movie - cheered for the lead as the movie went along. Finally a smart character in this type of movie - one who stands for what she wants without giving in to the dumb decisions around her. You'll could compare the role of Kate to some of the best teen lead characters around. Possibly a breakout role for Hallee Hirsch - see this movie if you can - it's a self-distributed indie by Becky Smith - this is the quality type of movie that Hollywood would be proud to put out (if it wanted to!) The director, lead actor and another actor did a good Q & A following our showing at the Rave in Omaha. Besides superb casting and smart writing, the camera work exhibited outstanding color and great close-ups. This movie was clearly superior to two Hollywood films I saw the same weekend (The American with George Clooney and Cairo Time with Patricia Clarkson). See it!
