Journey of My Heart

Ornithologist Maggie is sent to find a woman who first shared a report on the decline of the Bald Eagles due to the widespread use of DDT, which lead to them being put on the protected species list.

Alice tells Maggie about her experiences which excites Maggie into following in her footsteps and redoing the study in order to get an idea of the changes to the Eagle population.

Great scenery and wonderful footage of eagles in flight. The main actress is a little awkward at times...but Darien Martin, who plays the male lead and guide Eric, was fantastic.

Maggie bluffs her way through canoeing, hiking, and camping out...thankfully guide Eric is not fooled by her bluster. So while she is saying things like she was "born in a canoe", Eric is teaching her how to paddle.

This is a wonderful spring/summer romance with great outdoor activities and amazing chemistry. Lots of humor makes this romance a must see!

Highly recommend for romantics with a sense of humor or an outdoor bent (especially my fellow PNWerners!).

This Hallmark movie is worth watching Just for some of the scenery alone. That said the movie itself was not so bad itself. I will still be glad to recommend it. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 3/28/2022.

There were elements of the location and culture that could have been examined and developed. They weren't. The plot was superficial and remarkably aimless.

More crucially, the lead played most of the movie like she was a high school sophomore giggling her way to the prom. When she reached the de regeur kiss, the hero looked like he was twice her age, and the kiss was awkward enough to be truly creepy.

It's Hallmark. I'm not looking for Emmy Awards here, but this was substandard by any standard.

But the male lead is just such a male jerk.

Stop writing jerky male roles.

It is a Hallmark romance. So, the recipe is familiar, the acting - almost decent, the story- a ball of unrealism, maybe more obvious in this case than in others.

It is a film to see for details - the cool body of. Darien Martin and the absurd status of homo universalis of his character and the vulnerable macho posture, for Amerindian stories about connection between animals and people, for the landscapes and for Marion Eisman and Raz Thunderchild.

Silly in couple scenes, it is saved by the poor bear, terorized with high enthusiasm and a photo who gives the expected spice of story.

In short, just modest. But a modest Hallmark.
