    candles on bay street

    I have seen this movie and it was amazing. It reminded me of my best friend Deb who passed away almost 1 yr ago and cried when I heard the song " you've got a friend" in it, because it was my and Debs friendship song ever since we were teens. She loves candles and passed from cancer and is loved by SO many....to me it was like she almost helped make this..like she was sending a message. make time for your loved ones...Cherish the memories. if you have very best friends ...you will love this movie. i haven't been able to find it in stores yet but will look more... this is a movie to buy and keep and watch with loved ones.

    Excellent Movie! Real Tear Jerker!

    I love Alicia Silverstone, so I was excited to watch this movie. Wow! I cried so much with this movie, which isn't typical of Hallmark movies. I don't want to give away the plot. I feel it's a good one to watch, especially if you're looking for something other than the typical feel good Hallmark formula movie. This one has it all! Inspirational, a little humor, love interests, and the drama. I caught it on Pixl Channel, which shows many of Hallmark's older movies. I recommend you check out this channel, plus there's no commercials!

    Now back to the movie, I highly recommended this one! This one deserves a box of tissues and some ice cream!

    Candles on Bay Street, get out the Kleenex

    A Hallmark "to be classic"! This movie was a tear jerker from the minute Dee Dee said she went back and forth to Boston. You knew then, what was happening. I cried from then on. Alicia Silverstone is phenomenal in this movie, by far the best acting shes done!! Alicia had the Julia Roberts effect, completely captivating the watchers with her genuinely heartfelt feeling of her characters personality.Matthew Knight played the character of Trooper, and did an awesome job, expect more from this little guy, who's no stranger to acting. All the actors in this movie were very touching, getting the point across. Buy stock in Kleenex for this one!!

    Bitter sweet movie but full of love

    I didn't read any reviews before watching this movie. I'm not sure if I would've watched it if I did. This is not a typical every day Hallmark movie, even though it's in the Hallmark Hall of Fame. I think it was very well done and it really does have a happy ending. Of course a half empty glass people won't think so. It's not for everyone but I'm glad I watched it.

    good actress

    Hollywood. Populated by a thousand good actors and actresses. Alicia Silverstone has a bit of soul that must give her a bit of specialness. Her portrayal of a dying candle maker with only concern for her son is not in the least bit sugary. This gorgeous woman went out on limb in this this good film, and by the way, kudos to the other members of the cast. Think about it. You could go for the normal glamor jazz but you decide to define your self as an actress. If you look at her work, especially in the Crush and in the Babysitter you can perceive that this is is a very good actress. I believe that this young lady is in the class of Bette Davis.
