Wild Hearts

....and that's after watching the first 30 minutes! This just isn't up to par with the often good movies you see on Hallmark. I seem to be in the minority but the I found the most of the actors unbelievable and the dialog awful. God awful! Whoever played the daughter was so miscast...her crying scene made me just want to clobber her - maybe her character was supposed to be whiny and unlikable.

The director/writers seem to depend on rely on old gimmicks to advance what story there is. I guess I shouldn't really expect originality necessarily, but I'd like the story to not be totally derivative and the dialog and action to move the story along without relying on every character talking to wolves as if they're holding a conversation (and from what I could tell, the wolves were the ones with the good lines!).

This is a great story, like so many of the shows that have been on Hallmark a great family type show. It would be a show that would be a great series. I liked the characters and the actors who played them well , most of them have been favorites of mine for a long time. We need more shows like this, something that the family can sit down together and watch without any bad language or scenes that need to be censored. The scenery was beautiful and the animals were great.. Reminded me of one of the old time Walt Disney movies that I enjoyed as a young girl. Good triumphed over evil that is the way it should always be. The young people did a great job as well as the old pros.

This was such a great movie! As you can see it is really hard to sit down and watch something with your "whole" family with out flipping the channel to the food network or some other family approved TV station. And I must say that it was really really good! I thought that the acting was pretty good. It was not great but you know it was not produced my Hollywood and thats pretty hard to come by when you don't have the support or the money or the advertising by the big guys. The location was really cool. I live in Michigan so the land formation and scenery is really different. So I thought that looked great. Richard Thomas played a good part also. But if you ever find time to watch this, or if you ever see it on TV such as the hallmark channel or something else, TAPE IT! This was a great find. And I am even lucky in watching it, for on the day that it was airing I was just flipping thru the channels and then the commercial came up and I'm like: "wow I should tape it just in case it was be really good" and I was not let down.

GREAT MOVIE!

The cast is perfect! The story lines so interesting. This is a winner!!!

Richard Thomas is great in this role. His daughter on the show is a great and beautifully spirited young woman. And the vet is beautiful. She played in facts of life. I am so impressed.

Who played the Mayor? His face is so familiar, I believe he is a long time character actor with a possible first name of James? Can anyone help with this? The IMDb cast list is incomplete and when the credits rolled after the movie, it went too fast, and the print was reduced to accommodate advertising. So we couldn't read the remainder of the cast.

Is there any way to know WHERE the movie was filmed? The scenery is breathtaking. It looks like Montana or Wyoming. Was this a trained adult wolf or is this another miracle of computerization? This rating should be at least a 12 in my books. Thanks, Hallmark, I hope you will do more of this type of movie.
