Love Under the Rainbow

There were inconsistencies with personality traits, actions, and facts about Sophie and how old she is supposed to be, along with things that just didn't make sense. Also, I was confused about where this town was supposed to be located. I think Jodie Sweetin played her character perfectly, though, despite some poor writing regarding the classroom situations (including but not limited to the cell phone in class and chaotic field trip). Overall it's a sweet and interesting story.

A classic romantic movie with actors in perfect harmony. Happy ending. Full of beautiful landscapes and most of the scenes can be real. Fantastic interpretation for David Haydn-jones

The plot on this one is pretty weak. He's a widower whose daughter is obsessed with rainbows, they run into each other a lot, including her being the daughter's teacher. The CGI rainbows and everyone's weird obsession with them is pretty cloying and completely silly. Although he keeps avoiding the topic of rainbows, leading my boyfriend to theorize "Rainbows killed my wife!" Alas, the truth was not as interesting or compelling. But Jodie Sweetin and David Haydn-Jones are great together, their chemistry is palpable and they keep the weak script flowing enjoyably. Put these two in a better movie, Hallmark!

My wife and I both enjoyed this movie a bit more than the usual Hallmark movie, and we have seen a bunch of them. Always dependable for good clean entertainment. While the movie follows the usual themes it was fun to see how they would get there, and Sweetin in the lead role makes it a cut above most. Hers is just a very pleasant character that makes you want to root for her.

Filmed in Vancouver it is set in a fictional west coast community. She is a school teacher and gets a new student, a girl transferring from Chicago. Her single dad is a structural engineer, brought there to work on a bridge that needs to be completed promptly. His daughter acts as a catalyst.

At home on DVD from our public library.

I loved the interactions of David Haydn-Jones, Jodie Sweetin, and Dakota Guppy. I can easily see the plot happening in real life. Loved all of the normal Dad jokes, puns, and kidding around even the ones that ended in groans. Like I said --real life. Dave is a personal favorite of mine so I am eager to see what is in store for him next in Hallmark Land.
