The Right Girl

So ... came out about the same time as Autumn Moon. Same story - different location, different parent. Basically same story. Gotta say Jessy Schram is far more likable than Anna Hutchison. Hallmark really needs to embrace more story lines. At least this one has Constance Marie - a joy in most roles.

I fully understand those that turned off the movie after 10 minutes, I almost did because the lead character was awful, but stick with it and if you are a lover of romance or redemption then it will put a smile on your face, I know it worked for me.

This film was pretty predictable- spolied rude person needs a life lesson and ends up being kind and good. Although it doesn't sound very exciteable, it was actually really well acted and I really enjoyed the way all the characters interacted so well. In particular I thought the side plot romance of mum and pizza manager was thoughtful and well acted. Watching the main character throw herself in at work was lovely too and the pizza looked fab.

This movie starts with a premise that isn't quite as overused as some - rich girl goes broke. I kind of expected something like Harvest Moon.

Then about half way the story takes a turn I didn't expect and I liked it. But once that was established, the ending was predictable.

I wasn't in the mood to watch Anna Hutchison be a witch so I used FF button a lot through the first 20 minutes. After that she does become a different person and it was one of the more blatant personality swings I've seen. I always have to remind myself that this genre of movie always pushes reality way to the side and that's to be expected.

Anna Hutchison and Jonathan Patrick Moore had chemistry and it was nice watching them together.

The kid is a bit precocious, but adds a nice touch.

At first I thought it was going to be one of those no real plot movies but it surprised me. I ended up enjoying it. I loved the story and the actors.

I would have given it a 10 but the last scene was too predictable. I will still watch it again if it comes on.
