Then Came You

Lots of little surprises, fun things, serious things. We really enjoyed it! Perhaps it more appreciated by older, every-day kind of people. But it does have some wisdom, some love, some strength. And the creativity in it is a real heart-warmer!

If I watch a romantic film, I want to feel something. This was a fairly pretty formulaic second chance type romance (widow who loved husband moving on with life) He and she start off finding each other annoying and irritating and it goes from there. Even at the high point (as always in romance - there is that darkest hour is just before dawn moment) I just didn't care. Zero feels. Zero romance. Decent acting from Mr. Ferguson but Ms. Gifford - well, an actress she is not. As mentioned by others - fabulous scenery.

Not a great plot. Not a great script. Not great acting. But the scenery is incredible. Treat it as a travelogue for Scotland.

What a great location for this movie it added to the obvious fun they were having. I enjoyed watching Then Came You. The comfort they showed acting in these rolls that Gifford wrote was really well played.

When I saw this in Prime, I knew I wanted to watch it because... Craig Ferguson.

This movie is a bit of a removal from what we'd normally expect from Ferguson because of his decidedly bawdy nature in other shows/movies he's done. But, he definitely shines in this movie as the slightly sad, even more slightly curmudgeonly inn owner.

The one weak spot in this entire movie is Kathie Lee Gifford. Her acting skills are virtually non-existent and her delivery of her lines is childish and poor. Every move she made in the movie was wooden and too much. Subtlety is certainly not part of her personality.

As I watched this movie, I simply couldn't imagine the two of them getting together in real life. Had there been anyone else in the lead, it would have worked much better. A truly nice story was ruined by Kathie Lee.
