Home Sweet Home

So Victoria is a pretty but very shallow young lady living in the Tacoma, Washington area. She works as a coffee shop barista and when new guy in town, nice-looking Jason, comes into the shop she immediately goes into her flirt mode. But she gets no reaction from him.

So she finds out he has arrived to head up a new Christian ministry and decides to do something completely out of character, she volunteers to help out. Just so she can try to nab him. She soon finds out the project is to build a house for a single mother with two girls, she knows nothing of tools or building and nothing of Christianity.

This is not a Hallmark movie but it follows the general theme, a rough start, a growing affection, a hard falling out from a misunderstanding, then a nice reconciliation sealed with a kiss.

This is not a superior movie, some of the dialog doesn't ring true and some of the acting seems a bit amateurish. Still, my wife and I enjoyed it at home for pleasant entertainment. The overall message is to quit working so hard on your exterior and spend effort on you interior, the person who you are. Not always putting yourself first.

Streaming on Amazon Prime.

I very rarely ever write film reviews but the actors in this are terrible. The male lead sounds slow and is hard to understand at times. Very poor acting all round.

I had trouble getting in to this movie because the acting was terrible. Within the first 10 minutes it was apparent that most of the cast felt stiff and could not pull off acting naturally. The story is on par with that of a Hallmark movie.

Nice watch.. Clicked storyline but had a fun time.

I was cringing within the first hour. The girl essentially fakes being Christian to get this guy to like her and puts on this whole act as she helps him with his mission to build a home for a needy family. She ends up admitting her faking and in the end everythings all fine & dandy and no one cares about her lying. You'd think at the end she'd "find God" or become more of a believer, nope.

There's a scene with some side characters, where one of the girls working on the home awkwardly flirts with and attempts to ask out a coworker. I had second hand embarrassments watching those scenes.

Half the cast are terrible actors - especially those two side characters. You'd think with having Candace Cameron Bure aka DJ from Full House as her mother, Natasha would have better acting skills. If you're looking for a low-budget, bad acting "Christian" hallmark movie wannabe - this is it.
