Spurensuche in Cherry Springs

The story line jumps around too much. Takes too long to get to the point. Characters are too shallow. Hallmark hasn't had too many good shows over the last year. New writers may help.

6/10 - an okay new mystery to join the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries slate, but a lot of loose ends that remained unresolved at the end hindered my enjoyment of it.

The first half was soooo slow. The second half picked up. Story was good, actors were good, but something was lacking. Story left loose endings.

The actors are great! The script needs work. Slow.

As I sat down to watch the 2021 Hallmark TV movie "Redemption in Cherry Springs", it was done so without ever having heard about this movie from writers John Bellina, Talia Gonzalez and Lauren Snowden. But I do believe in giving any movie that I haven't already seen a fair chance, so of course "Redemption in Cherry Springs" was given a chance as well.

And I have to say that director Letia Clouston didn't deliver a movie that fell into my liking, and I found very little entertainment and enjoyment in the storyline. So it was quite a drag for me to sit through 84 minutes of subpar narrative of a storyline and plot that I cared very little about.

I was mostly unfamiliar with the cast ensemble in the movie, aside from Frankie Faison. I will say, though, that the actors and actresses did carry the movie well enough, despite the fact of the storyline failing to find grounds with my liking.

"Redemption in Cherry Springs" wasn't a movie that impressed me, and this is not something I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of "Redemption in Cherry Springs" lands on a three out of ten stars.
