The filming location and wonderful scenes across Europe are, quite literally, the only things going for this pitiful movie. I found myself wishing that Wes Brown and Catherine Disher could find a lifeboat and save themselves from this wretched river cruise. Seriously, nothing redeeming about the script, zero chemistry between supposed love interests and costuming and make-up that defies explanation.
This is definitely a Hallmark movie to skip. Or, if its just the scenery you're interested in, keep mute enabled, fast-forward to the outdoor scenes and enjoy the European beauty!
Raise yourself up just a little, Hallmark! If you're forking out the dough to film on location in Europe, pitch in a few extra bucks for a GOOD script and grab an actress who has chemistry with Wes! He can't save this one by himself.

What is going on with Hallmark? The stories
are tiresome and the new replacement
actresses are lacking. Wes Brown is
reliable and can be fun, see him in
Haul Out the Ivy, but not in this snoozefest.
He could not breathe life into this sinking cruise. The plot with the adult children trying to set up their parents and finding each other as romantic partners was too predictable. Adding the older mother ( who looked the same age as her daughter) , a professional singer who has stage fright was just silly. The only thing that saved this shipwreck was the scenery. I fell asleep in the middle but didn't miss anything. Hopefully the next two installments will be an improvement.

So boring, weird peppy background music, atrocious costuming. Zero chemistry between the two leads, and while Wes Brown and Nazneed Contractor are the same age, 43, but the way she is dressed in this make her seem many years older. I'm not sure what it was, but she seems the same age as the actress playing her mother.
The costume department must have an overload of button down collared shirts and over sized jackets.
I probably would have stuck it out, if not for the annoying loud background music. The dialog was very unrealistic as well. I like Wes Brown, but even he can't save this stinker.

What a boring movie, I kept nodding off. The locations in Hungary were beautiful, especially Budapest. Wes Brown is always a reliable actor in Hallmark's rom-coms, the rest of the cast was ok. Catherine Disher was a stand out, she has stage presence.
A bad script and dialog are what made it a very boring movie. The same topics were regurgitated over and over again along with Julia's performance anxiety. I was to the point of who cares if they ever get together or if Julia ever sings. . A first time screenwriter could probably have written a better script. If you're going to spend the money filming in Europe, get a decent script. Or just save the money and film it in Montreal or Quebec City and call it Paris.

The quality of this movie left so much to be desired starting with a poor script and lack of cohesiveness and chemistry. Some of the wardrobe was lacking and makeup in some cases was the worst I've ever seen, especially for one character (who was also the victim of the poor wardrobe choices).
The scenery was phenomenal but that's because actual historical sites in Europe were used. That's the only reason I stayed with this movie until the end, having personally visited these sites in the past. Still, I could just as easily (and should have) looked at my own videos and photos for the memory factor.
Catherine Disher was the saving grace.
