Hello, It's Me

7.7 stars.

There is something about this family, a widow named Annie (Kellie Martin) and her two children. There is a depth to them that is rarely seen in family relationships with Hallmark. James (Smith) is at their home and he gets to experience this wonderful trio, so endearing, and lovable, in spite of the daughter's bitterness.

This film is beautifully wrought full of deep emotion for the loss they have suffered and James is the right man to fit the huge hole that has been vacant for the past two years. The son lights up when he's around, and it's evident that Annie is falling for him. Once they are able to sort through the emotions and the complicated grief, maybe they can be happy once more. The complexity of their loss is that Annie is getting messages from beyond the grave. What do these messages indicate? Annie must figure it out for herself.

I cried not once, twice, but three times. I wept like a baby in one scene, a rare moment for a film to evoke such a measure of compassion within me. It's just a movie after all...

I love this movie for having a bit more kick than many Hallmark productions.

I like these type of movies, a rainy afternoon coming in from the cold and settling down to warm by a fire and watch some light relief.

Kellie Martin and Kevan Smith are two of my favourite Hallmark actors, neither have said hello to the Botox and seem more genuine than some of the others (especially women). Both have always given a stellar and solid performance, even when dealt a dodgy script. For this though, it seemed the writing had more depth and allowed for the characters to grow, it was touching and sensitive. The scenery was magnificent and really added to the whole film.

A quality film and well directed from Mark Jean.

This movie was awesome. It really showed the struggles one experiences after the death of someone close to them. Then you slowly see new love reborn. I would definitely watch again. Loved it James Welch Henderson Arkansas 5/17/21.

I knew from the beginning I was going to like this movie. The two leads Kellie Martin and Kavan Smith were great, their chemistry was perfect. I've always been a fan of Kavan and am now a fan of Kellie.

Great movie.
