The Note

The storyline had so much potential. This could have been a blockbuster movie but in the end, your left feeling it was made for TV and was on a tight production schedule. I teared up a couple times but way too often I was left disappointed by the character development or dialogue. Many of the situations were not believable or lacked the gravity of the moment. Many elements just happened for the sake of continuity but seemed forced and kept me from being drawn into the movie. So many instances that were highly emotional and the actors were not reflecting a convincible or honest level of emotion. Good but not great. I can't recommend it.

A good-feel of a Christmastime movie. Took me back to when it was ok to put heart-warming messages in films. And the fact that it dealt with a newspaper reporter was a big win for me. Genie Francis played her role with graciousness. Yeah-maybe it was a tad far-fetched that such a miracle like the one she had could really happen. But I like to be won over with happy endings in this era of divisive thinking on a large scale. The parts of the preacher and the songwriter were great, and the bad -guy TV reporter was believably smarmy. People constantly being on cell phones did not dominate this film (yay for 2007!). I am glad I found it on Amazon Prime for a trip back to a less toxic time in our country.

The start is a bit slow but don't give up on it, once it gets rolling it delivers. Genie Francis is good. I would disagree that this is poorly written. I thought Francis and McGinley's parts were well acted. For what it is, basically a Christmas movie, I'm not sure what more the viewer would expect?

This movie had several hidden meanings the some people will miss.... Overall I enjoyed the movie and would highly recommend it to anyone that loves a story with a good ending. No matter how insignificant we feel we are, we are all inextricably linked to each other and play an important part in the fabric of one another's lives.

No violence ... Just wholesome clean enjoyment! I wish all movies could be this good! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. These are the types of movies I grew up watching.

Be sure to watch "The Note II".

This movie carries the typical high qualities of the HALLMARK movies! My hat is off to the Hallmark Movie folks! Thanks Hallmark!

I don't know whether it is the poor sound quality, the flat acting, or the predictable dialogue, but as soon as I tuned in on Amazon Prime I knew it was a Hallmark movie and that did it for me. Why can't they rise above those obvious cheesy elements and aim a little higher?
