Saving Hope

A woman inherits some money from Grandma and on return to home town she fights against the building of a mall on a historical home.

When a movie makes a Hallmark movie look polished you know you are in a bad movie. The acting is stiff and the delivery of the dialogue so monotonous. There is a inappropriate musical soundtrack as well.

Don't bother.

Somehow I got through about a third of this movie before I was ready to tear my hair out. I am not sitting here watching two people saunter through their family photo album. And that was the best part. Slow, lackluster, very poor acting, poor storyline, annoying background music...life is just too short to spend on bad movies.

I like the story line a lot. It had a lot of potential. I'd read the book. But the acting and the way it was told was awful. Totally killed the vibe and the story. Who picked these actors? Was the budget for the movie that low? Lewis and Hope had no chemistry as actors and clearly no chemistry to pull off the supposedly romance between them. That was the worst, but no one else could act well either. Curtis is the only one who came off as the jerk he portrayed. Maybe luck? I hope after watching this garbage acting movie, they won't flood my suggestions with more garbage movies. I literally fast-forwarded through some and didn't miss much at all.

Predictable Hallmark movies are my guilty pleasure so I watch my fair share of romantic fluff. This movie was so painful to watch - I ended up turning it off. The acting was like watching the first session of a high school drama class in my living room.

This movie was horrible in every way one can be. Predictable story line, which by itself wouldn't be so bad if the acting could redeem it but it doesn't. It is bad bad bad... No subplots either beyind the obvious annoying and disinterested boyfriend and potential live interest in the childhood friend turned lawyer. Just this darned fight over an historic landmark house that ties to family... really???? Dont waste your time.
