Love in Yosemite - Natürlich verliebt

Cindy Busby's character was a cardboard cutout, generically enthusiastic, with a whole lot of smiling and cringe lines. Cindy can be really funny and cute with some of her awkward, wide-eyed expressions, but nothing in this movie came close. My wife and I kept waiting for some spark, but it never happened. I agree with all the other reviews commenting about the poor script.

The movie is uninspired and boring - a far cry from the Waterfalls movie. Cindy had great chemistry with Christopher Russell in the last few movies together. Tyler Harlow's character in the beginning was a little jarring, and he never recovered. Part of the reason is because he did not have any chemistry with Cindy's character.

The history commentary felt tiresome and forced. Enough with the wokery already.

The best thing to be said about this movie is the scenery. You find yourself saying "Cool, Yosemite. Pretty. I've been there."

All-in-all, definitely a movie you can skip with no regrets.

I typically enjoy Cindy Busby movies. Unfortunately this movie concentrated on an primary agenda that did not include romance of the characters. The line that America's past was not perfect from a Canadian Actor and Canadian production team seems very hypocritical. The scenery in the movie is what carried it. The romantic scenes between the two main characters were overly flimsy with superficial interaction and language. Hallmark seems to be departing from movies that bring us joy and happiness into getting the viewer to see Hallmarks view of the world. I am over 65 so my demographic does not carry a lot of weight.

This movie was pretty good. The plot is a professional city girl needs a seasoned/ rugged tour guide for a book project with a deadline. This story was pretty basic and somewhat predictable but both of the lead actors (Cindy Busby and Tyler Harlow) were both really good. They do a lot of outdoor activities together while researching for a book about Yosemite. She does the pictures/photographs and he is the expert for the story. There were a few hiccups that the characters had to work on and get thru, but they seemed to have fun with the plot/script. The scenery was very beautiful. The film looked great and the outdoor movies are always like another character in the film.

Hallmark almost got it right, almost... I really liked the movie as a whole but there is so much untapped potential. I would like to see Hallmark do a series of multiple movies on this, instead of trying to rush important topics, amongst the main romantic storyline and scenery in 1 hour and 23 minutes.

Particularly the ending was rushed. I won't give anything away but trying to make any kind of heartfelt, meaningful end to the story in under 2 minutes is just a bit futile. I think Hallmark didn't want to take the risk of committing to two movies but it's so compacted that the depth of the story that is hinted at is really just kind of neglected. The romance, the leads' personalities, the leading topic (the making of the photography book in this case), the story of the most important supporting cast, as well as the important topics of conservation and native tribes. A sequel was actually really needed to complete this story and might have given the room to really work out every topic in any kind of meaningful way without sacrificing the romance.

For example: the male lead is passionate about conservation, I would have loved to see some actual scenes with examples. I think the screenwriter really needed more screentime to do the story justice so I think Hallmark should start doing two or three part movies, screened over a couple of weekends in a row, to make these stories informative but easy to watch while keeping the romance.

I do like that Hallmark seems to be focusing on movies where relationships are not built on deceit. It's oddly refreshing to see Hallmark movies where people aren't pretending to be a different person, breaking off agreements left and right, and not focusing storylines on inconsequential bakeoff competitions, corporate developers, and kid birthday parties. I like the idea of learning about topics in an accessible, fun way but Hallmark should really give these things more time so that the scenes can breathe a little bit.

Didn't Cindy Busby just do this? Photojournalist. Wilderness. Personal guide.

A lot of Hallmark movies have breathtaking scenery. This one ranks right up there. The climbers on the cliff face add an awesome touch.

Conservation of nature and some tragic history of Native Americans is a big part of the movie. There's also a lot of talk about stories. Unfortunately, the overall story of this movie is overwhelmed by the scenery and quest for the perfect photo. There aren't a lot of story highs or lows and almost no tension.

The conflict came out of nowhere and seemed contrived as did the ending even though the overall outcome couldn't be anything other than what it was.

I haven't noticed Cindy Busby with so much emphatic gesturing in what I've seen of her in the past. She is exuberant too. This is a good role for her. She connected with Tyler Harlow but not with much spark.
