Rescuing Madison

There are better versions of this movie out there. She's a singer with a comeback and yet does absolutely no work. Granted she was in a near death situation, but that only canceled her show. She doesn't write music ever. She doesn't play any instruments ever...she's a non working singer who wants a life. Who would believe she wanted her career? The problem with this movie is that everyone else around her works to make her dreams happen. Including the fireman. And she comes off pretty ungrateful. IDK, I also didn't find her to be that engaging so I really quit about halfway through. Also in 2021, the idol worship of "famous people" is just really cringe.

I ended up FF to the end. Better movies with this storyline of famous person wanting to be with a "regular person" are: Summer of My Dreams and Wedding of My Dreams, Catch a Christmas Star, Guess Who's Coming to Christmas, or Beyond the Lights. Or Sweet Mountain Christmas with the amazing Megan Hilty. These movies actually showed the conflict between life and career.

Whilst watching it seems just like Britney spears story. Mum pushy stage mom, her life and what it's like. Throw a Justin in there. Read Britney life then watch.

I liked the story - while predictable it was still good and just different enough from the rest of the hallmark movies. ethan peck did a good job but I was disappointed by alona tal. I've seen her and enjoyed her in other things but felt she didn't really connect with this character. and we were disappointed because the version we saw did not show her singing.

I liked the actress who played the young pop-star on the comeback trail. I also liked her character. She was strong and not a doormat to her bully of a manager. Ethan Peck was too oddly handsome and I didn't detect any chemistry with his co-lead. He was notably lacking in personality which as strange because his back story was well developed and his family in the show was charming. The cast and the plot were great. it was something a little off the beaten Hallmark track, which I have found is to be expected with Pixl shows. Some of the plot lines could have been developed a little more with an extra 15 minutes.

Loved the whole story and have been back watching over and over. I thought casting was wonderful and very believable and just a well done job by the stars
