The Vows We Keep

The new Hallmark movies are tripping all over themselves trying to appease the woke crowd by being super "inclusive." In this movie the "romance" is so forced it's ridiculous. The love connection that is supposed to happen is obvious form the first scene and it just falls flat. Plunk. But at least the production company can say they tried and check off that box.

Linda Thorson and Michele Scarabelli as the heart of this nice film about relation between siblings, place of childhood and youth, reconciliation after long time, a fundamental decision and the happy solution.

For .Antonio Cayonne , just applauses for fair manner to explore his role.

A nice film for its flavors of nostalgia and delicate sketch of romance.

Sadly, I see an overall low rating for this movie. The scenery is outstanding and adds to the scope of the story immensely. The casting was excellent. The storyline was sadly all tocommon where the brilliant long time employee who is a female gets passed over for a male not qualified for the job. But fortunately circumstances smile upon two people who are disenchanted with their jobs. And they find love and work that satisfies the both of them together in this pleasant and lovely movie. The flowers, the setting, the story, all add up to a pleasant evening of watching a worthwhile movie from Hallmark.

I really like Fiona Gubelmann and wanted to love this movie. It was nice but not much of a romance. The settings were beautiful but the constant obstacles plot has been used so many times that it ended up kind of boring. The lead actor is a great second lead as a best friend but he doesn't act like a romantic lead. There were no sparks at all between the two leads. They seemed like brother and sister until the very last minute of the movie. And one more thing- worst boutonnière ever on the dad's tuxedo.

I like Hallmark recommitting itself to serious family films under its Movies & Mysteries banner. It is a nice break from TV mystery reruns, although new Hallmark Signature mysteries are always welcome.

Leave the fluffy, formulaic romances on regular Hallmark and give this service more depth.

They are off to a fair start.
