Dear Viola

Kellie Martin does a good job with her role, but the costume designer for her did a job that didn't do justice for the character which was almost too juvenile for how old she should have been. Dressing like a little girl doesn't endear the audience to her character,, but I found it distracting and confusing. The rest of the cast is wonderful and creative and talented. Not that Kelloe isn't, she wonderful.

The movie is sweet and heartfelt. The justification of her frumpiness is just not well done. Yes, of course like all movies since the 80s there is the makeover scene, but she still feels off, but better.

The cast is wonderful. I like all the supporting people. This was c well cast, a good script, and directed well.

"Dear Viola" is much better than the typical movie of this genre and production. Immensely enjoyable. All the characters were very good, with solid acting. The story was very heartfelt, endearing, moving, and funny. Kellie Martin was "perfect." She is a terrific and under-rated actress and should be in more movies. loved it.

Not too bad for a Hallmark, though apparently it wasn't that. Kellie was 39 when this was filmed but defying the odds for Hollywood, but she looked 49. I have noticed this before with Kellie. WTH? Can we please get some good lighting or a competant make up person for this poor woman?

Not the highest budget film, definitely cheesy, but I liked it. Very cute, feel good movie. I easily connected to the characters. It wasn't overly deep, but if you like a sweet romance...you'll find it here.

I have liked Kellie Martin since I saw her as Christy. This is a cute film that address some tough issues in a Hallmark style. Her outfits are adorable. I gave it and 8 because the character "Jamie" was a little over the top and kitchy.
