Lost Heart

After seeing close to 200 2020 films, I had the honor of watching Lost Heart starring Melissa Anschutz and Don Most. This is a religious Dramedy with tons of heart and humor. Hannah (Melissa Anschutz) is a burnt out music star, who returns to her hometown Lost Heart, Michigan due to the death of her father. Her father wasn't the nicest man during her upbringing, little does she know he turned into a caring man taking in Chip (Josh Perry). Hannah has not forgiven her father, but after she confronts the demons and ghost of her past, can she forgive her father and regain her happiness. We also get a side plot with Elise who wants to be a singer that makes it big just like Hannah. However her boyfriend isn't happy with her dreams, which could lead to the end of their relationship.

The only problem I had with Lost Heart was some of the side plot. I felt that the screenplay focused too much on Elise and her boyfriend, but that's a minor problem. Melissa delivers a fabulous performance as does Don Most. The filmmakers know how to balance Drama and Comedy. We get some emotional scenes with Chip as well as some really funny comedic moments the weigh each other out perfectly. The cinematography isn't anything groundbreaking,but it's well done, with pristine editing and lighting techniques. Lost Heart is not one to miss this year.

This movie is very well developed with believable sand real life situations. Thoroughly enjoyable. More moves should be made like this. A whole family can watch this. The only mistake I can see is that Hannah and her mother are about the same age. There doesn't seem to be a gap even if her mother were to have gotten married as a teenager. That aside, there are many worthwhile life lessons to be learned here. - such as forgiveness, redemption, and tolerance. It teaches us to also understand people with different physical qualities, not to be judgmental. Our faith in God is the most important of all.

I have already watched this twice! I am not a Hallmark movie watcher. They all have the same plots. The Lost Heart was a great combo. I love mysteries and emotional, poignant movies. The music was a plus! I am a huge fan of Don Most so seeing him in a more meaty role different from other characters was a bonus. The whole ensemble worked well together. Great movie!! I know I will probably watch again.

Very well executed. Don Most's performance was outstanding. I was also impressed with the character Chip. My wife and I loved it so much we watched it twice. We knew Don from "Happy Days," his singing career, and directing, but this was an Emmy quality performance. A must see.

This movie has a lot of heart. DJ Perry has written a film about faith Hope and the meaning of forgiveness and redemption and managed to make it fun. I was touched by it. The acting is terrific.

Melissa Anschutz Is the lead here and she is up to the task of carrying the movie. Don Most from happy days is terrific as usual as our DJ Perry, Shane Hagedorn, Christine Marie and Victoria Jackson from Saturday Night Live. Special mention needs to be made of actor Josh Perry.

The young man is terrific here and I would like to see him in more films. I think he brings a lot to the table. He has a grasp on humor and pathos. Just a Wonderful job.

Grab some popcorn and maybe one hanky, and enjoy . Nice job everyone.
