Last Chance Cafe

The movie was great. Two thumbs up. Kevin Zorbo was wonderful as the rancher Chance Coulter. He is still hot! He still makes a great hero. Kate Vernon did a great job as the mysterious woman, Hallie Boyer, in trouble, and Jessica Amlee, who played her young daughter, Kiley, did a good job too. I really liked the Last Chance Cafe owner, Madege Beardsley, played by Samantha Ferris. I love romance stories with happy endings and this movie fits the bill. I believe anyone who watches it will agree that it is a wonderful romantic story. I plan to watch it again the next time it comes on t.v. and if they put it on DVD will definitely buy it. I would like to read the book too. I hope to see Kevin Zorbo in more films like this.

I'm confused by all the good reviews actually because except for Kevin Sorbo this is almost unwatchable. Bad acting, poorly written script (even though its based on a romance novel by Linda Lael Miller) low budget sets, terrible sound editing, ridiculous dialogue and a jumpy (yet predictable) plot -as it cuts back and forth to the "bad guys". Even by Lifetime standards this was a mess.

The only reason I managed to stick with this at all was because there was something kinda sexy about Kevin Sorbo. He plays an easy going rancher and as well as being able to act even manages to create some chemistry with (Kate Vernon) who one-dimensionalizes her way through her role as his love interest 'Hallie'.

The story follows Hallie as a woman on the run, fleeing her dangerous ex-husband and some other corrupt men in suits. When her car breaks down in a small town, a friendly guy named Chance Coulter (seriously) takes Hallie and her young daughter in, giving them a place to stay and finding her a job at the "last chance café" while she awaits car repairs and the audience waits for (A) them to fall in love and (B) the bad guys to show up. 3/8/15 Langley B.C as somewhere small-town USA

Great movie and actors but the music doesn't fit the movie.

Predictable! That sums up this film. Every line of dialogue, every scene, from beginning to end. It's a Hallmark moment or a sloppy Harlequin story. Complete waste of time. Format has been done so many times. Brat kid too but must not tell the kid the whole story. So one can guess wh as happens next.

I really liked it. Some have down rated it because of the low budget but I found it entertaining. A fairly wholesome film. A young woman & her daughter are struggling for their lives & fleeing their home because of a ruthless, criminal ex-husband and his cronies. N0 cuss words which was refreshing & no 'torrid sex' scenes. Not needed. My only problem is why didn't this dashing young man pick up Hallie and the child in a car? If I were in his shoes, and a "drop dead gorgeous" woman & helpless child were dropped on my property, and staying on my rental unit, I would have RENTED a car! Ha. What a woman!! I wish the movie would have been 10 minutes longer to show the criminals being apprehended and Hallie being vindicated and the other characters supporting the couple and the child. A sequel would have been popular think.
