Campfire Kiss

Danica McKellar's producing influence is obvious not just in her character's career as a math instructor but in the multiple sermons she preaches on how awesome math is. While I don't mind the sentiment, it's a bit blatant. Her overprotective mother role is ridiculously off-putting and has little attraction unless the man likes rescuing damsels in distress, even annoying damsels.

It is a hallmark movie.I like their movies. I was looking forward to this movie, for Danica McKellar and Paul Greene, I have liked their previous pairing. The movie is funny and sweet.

Loved the scenery. Not the female lead. She always looks so sad and pouty. She came across as not very likable. Liked the male lead and the kids were fine. Not my favorite, not the worst I've seen. Would love to see more movies with Alicia Witt.I also would love to see some Christmas movies during the summer.

Hallmark films can be a bit hit/miss, but this one is certainly in the 'hit' category.

With lovely central performances from the reuniting Danica McKellar (who seems to be carving out quite a niche for this type of film) and Paul Greene.

As ever with Hallmark films, there's a healthy dose of life affirming messages along the way, but on the whole I thought this was a quality 84 mins of entertainments and I'd thoroughly recommend the film.

Ok ladies, I know these reviews and movie audiences are normally thought of as a female only spaces, but I'm afraid there's a whole chunk of middle aged gay men in those viewing figures as well, and to the straight guys who secretly or openly like these films, I applaud you, you have proven that your masculinity is not fragile. - right got that out the way let's start talking about this movie.

Firstly like a lot of you I'm here for the wholesome guy / girl next door outfits, fresh from a magazine spread interior designs and instagram worthy backdrops and this movie is being awarded some points for that straight away. This is Stepford Wives go glamping. It's aspirational perfection under canvas.

The story is always a bit of a sideline in these films really, we all know the plot within 30 seconds of viewing. It's the charisma of the actors that seals the deal. Can they splurt out those cheesy lines without sounding like a half hearted greeting card? In this case - hmmmmm kinda. Paul is fantastic at 'fun n jokey' and 'kinda crushing on you' but not so good at 'pep talk dad buddy'. Danica great at 'nervous blabbering' and 'emotionally vulnerable' not so much in 'I'll show you' mode.

There's a bit too much parents bonding with kids in the plot and an over obvious a boy needs a dad and a girl needs a mum idea push, but it moves the story along and the kids playing them are likeable and harmless.

Over all it's an easy way to pass less than two hours. Its fuel for your outfit / home decor ideas with romance sprinkled on top. I can vouch for the male lead having a crush worthy charisma and a tight enough T-shirt and if you're a sophisticated stoner a little 420 before viewing will make those cheesy lines bearable and the imagery much more cozy.

On a side note, what a stunning location - where is this camp, those mountains are beautiful!
