Coup de foudre sous les cascades

So did the guy say he would be more worried if it was a sow with cubs or a grizzly? That sure looked like a grizzly to me. How could they make such an obvious mistake? Was just so so, not great chemistry but glad it was Cindy instead of the usual Lacey/Danica/Candace trio.

Was in general cute. However the preview almost made me not watch at all. Using chasing waterfalls by TLC is not my idea of a love song. Was extremely unnerved by the whole preteen with makeup and short skirt. Probably something Hollywood should avoid like the Plague. I like both actors however they possessed ZERO chemistry. Breathtaking scenery.

Enjoyed the waterfalls & scenery,but otherwise average movie. If you're a fan of the lead actors too,may find it watchable.

This is a rather typical Hallmark movie, running at just around 80 minutes, filmed in Canada with mostly Canadian actors who have experience in TV shows and TV movies.

The plot is an attractive woman is sent on assignment to an area to photograph waterfalls for a piece in an online travel magazine. At the lodge she meets an attractive man who also is one of the tour guides. He is divorced and has an attractive and smart 11-yr-old daughter. This threesome get to liking each other rather quickly.

My wife reminded me half way through that the Hallmark method is to throw in something to create friction then present a way for the man and woman to overcome it. The friction here arises when her photos are published with exact GPS coordinates so any tourist can find the hidden waterfalls, something she promised would not happen.

This is not a superior movie by any measure but it is a fun, pleasant diversion. We watched it at home on DVD from our public library, half drunk after our usual Saturday steak and wine dinner. It is perfect for that type of situation. No extras on the DVD, as budget as you can find.

I was shocked, shocked I say, in the end of the movie Mark calls for a helicopter to get them out of the woods before nightfall (forget worrying about how they are going to land a helicopter in the woods). So, he calls for a chopper, she says what's the hurry, he says well I did bring my tent, she says is it big enough for 2, he grins and cancels the chopper.. This is a hallmark movie people, since when do we even hint at anything even slightly seductive. They are going to spend the night together in a one-man trial tent. Shock and horror, Hallmark what are you doing.

Anyway, back to the movie Cindy Busby always does a great job and Christopher Russell never disappoints, they had great chemistry. Cassidy Nugent was adorable and a great little actress, Hallmark should use her more often.

The script was adequate, nothing special, typical Hallmark, at least until the end. And the waterfalls and other scenary is spectacular.

Decent family movie.

Very enjoyable 86 minutes.

My advice - see the movie as a family, it will not disappoint.
