Heart of the Matter

The acting is horrible. So predictable and unrealistic.

These are the Hallmark movies I love. Some might say it's slow or boring, but I say these are the stories that you fall into and have time to develop the characters, the backstory and the relationships. The casting was perfect. Jason plays the broken, tortured character so well so this part was made for him. I always loved Bree from OLTL, she fit into her role very well. She's obviously very pretty, but she played it down. I love how she was the insecure, heart broken sad girl..that gets me very time. I loved all the supporting characters as well. Usually the "friend" doesn't get her own story, so I was very pleased we got to get to know her as well and see her life outside of supporting the main character. I believed all the relationships, mother/daughter, father/mother, grandmother/grandmother. The acting was good all around. 4 out of 5 stars. Taking off a star because I would have liked a conversation where they discuss why he let her go in high school. Overall, so well done. This is why I watch Hallmark films.

This movie has attractiveness going for it, I will say that. I've never seen anyone in this movie in other things, other than Frances Fisher. Why she is in a film like this is befuddling. The lead actor has the emotional range of a wet sock, other than the over-the-top crying scene towards the end. Chemistry is fine between the two, but I think it may be more because of Williamson's acting than anything else. I only wanted to write a review because I wanted to express how weird I thought it was for April to invite her date into the home of her ex-boyfriend. Really. Who does that?

Portrait of Love is fine. Watch it if there is nothing else on.

I had 0 expectations about this movie. However it turned out very okay. There were a few mistakes regarding the camera and the movements of the characters that one can see very easily. The female lead was pretty good, but the guy... I don't know, I like him, but I was waiting for the moment where he would scream or something!

What I loved about this was the fact that they had history: there was a moment in which they were arguing and for a moment I thought I was gonna cry. Pretty realistic the way these characters treated each other considering they had a past, but I would have loved to know more about them. You know there is this one smart elder person in each movie that guides the leads towards each other? There wasn't one in specific here, but that was the girl's job - who did an amazing job even though she could be quite loud and annoying sometimes - and I really like that!

Not Hallmark's best, but I actually enjoyed it!

Like some others have said it before,I can simply watch Jason Dohring in anything. I watched him in Veronica Mars and since then I have been watching everything with him in it. I am obsessed with Jason, first time for me of course. I just don't understand why. He's everything. This movie is good despite what other people say about it.
