The Town That Came A-Courtin'

Although I happen to like Lauren Holly and Cameron Bancroft, the fake southern accents got to me. I am not from the south but even I can spot terrible fake accents. It was quite painful to listen to. I am not sure why it had to be in the south or alternatively, they should have used real southern actors. This is not something I would watch again. I also thought the story line was a little silly for my tastes. I loved Cameron Bancroft in Country Remedy. I thought that was a much more realistic movie. I also liked Lauren Holly in NCIS and other movies of hers. This was definitely not one of those feel good movies that touch your heart, I am sorry to say.

I tried to watch some of it and just couldn't. It's so fake, the acting isn't that good, the writing is HORRIBLE...movie that should have never made it on TV. Sorry, but it's just not good.

It's so bad that it's actually funny.

Grownups behaving like kids.

The kids are way more mature than most of the people.

The plot is totally and completely unbelievable.

The acting sucks.

Lauren Holly has so much botox that her face is devoid of expression.

I love romantic movies. Truly LOVE them. But even me, a huge fan of this movies, find it boring.

I don't mind being predictable, in fact I hope they are; that's why I watch and enjoy them.

But this is way too much about everything.

Over the top, the actors work with what they have and do their best but it's not enough.

I even think there's no director!! That's how bad it is.

This was an easy movie to watch while multi-tasking. I don't usually watch these Hallmark Channel type movies, but made an exception for this one because it was set in fictional Bliss, Mississippi, my home state. So I am pretty critical about the fake Southern accents. Do movie and TV people realize that no Southerner of my generation or younger drops their r's anymore? They apparently listen to audio of Eudora Welty or Shelby Foote and think that's how we still speak here. Unfortunately, we don't. The town, especially the B&B, featured in the movie was beautiful, but there are no towns or buildings in Mississippi that even remotely look like them. As I suspected, the credits revealed the movie was filmed in Canada. Could they not even take a half-hour to go online and look at a few photos of Southern small towns?

I'll be honest, the lead character's voice was so annoying I almost couldn't handle it! But I'm glad I did as the turned out to be a pretty good movie! Clean & funny, but with an unexpected plot twist. I'd watch it again.
