Aloha Heart (2023)
BORING
The acting was forced, awkward and no chemistry between the main characters. The plot was boring and bland. Painful to watch. Scenery was beautiful. Hallmark has gone down hill. They keep doing the same plots over and over with little tweaks but the plots are basically the same. Original writing is desperately needed. Many of the veteran Hallmark actors/actresses are aging out. Put your efforts into finding new, young actors/actresses and developing exciting, unique, and original story lines. Also bring back more of the mystery series, i.e., Hannah Svensen, Curious Caterer, Garage Sale Mystery, Chronicle Mysteries, Hailey Dean Mysteries, Mystery 101, Ruby Herring. Hallmark cancelled all the good mysteries. The new one with Jodie Sweeten is AWFUL!!!
The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango (2023)
HORRIBLE
What was Hallmark thinking? I don't know where to begin describing all that is wrong with this movie. Lacey Chabert looked like an old lady. I was embarrassed for her and all the actors. That chase on the scooters was a joke. I couldn't stop laughing!!! The acting was stiff and forced between all the actors. The plot was clumsy and disjointed. Hallmark has gone down hill. So many of the so-called "new" movies are just remakes of old story lines. No point in watching them. They canceled Garage Sales Mysteries, Mystery 101, Hailey Dean Mysteries, Picture Perfect Mysteries, Matchmaker Mysteries, all excellent series. The 2 new mysteries, The Dancing Detective and The Jane Mysteries are both awful.
Sand Dollar Cove (2021)
HORRIBLE
I was very disappointed in this movie. Love the CT setting but everything else was awful. There is absolutely NO CHEMISTRY between the 2 lead actors. The dialogue was off, flat & forced between them. Aly Michalka was stiff and had no personality at all. She was cold and acted like she didn't want to be in the movie. Chad Michael Murray wasn't much better, however I think that was because there was no chemistry with his co-star. The plot about saving a pier was dull and boring. Lily Jane as Milly was the best character in my opinion!!! She had personality and exhibited excitement in her role. CCM has a good track record in Hallmark movies and I believe his poor performance is due to the poor plot and horrible choice of co-star (Aly Michalka). It was a surprise to have the famous first Hallmark kiss earlier in the movie than usual. That usually comes at the end!!! The ending was ridiculous!!! Deciding to keep the pier and have the developer fix it??!! No one thought of that in the initial discussions??!!! The entire movie is just weak on all levels.
