Sweet Carolina (2021 TV Movie)
4/10
Sweet but very melancholy romance
6 August 2021
This is a wonderful cast who put in an excellent performance in this rather melancholy romance. The main story is about a woman whose sister and brother-in-law die, leaving custody of her two children to her. She returns to her small town from New York and her big city marketing job to become a first time mom. There she is surrounded by family who assume she will return to New York and she runs into her old sweetheart who has also returned home after a romance gone awry in Georgia.

This film does a nice job showing grief, friend and family interactions. My one complaint is that as great as Lacey Chambers and Tyler Hynes are, I felt like the script showed them as good people and friends from the past...but did not build on their romance in the now. I would argue that due to the lose of her sister and newly gained responsibilities that this might not be the best time to build a romance...but maybe that is the time for the fast forward button and giving us that romantic finish?

If you are looking for a very sweet film about grief and loss, this is wonderful and you will love it. If you are looking to this movie to fulfill the romance category... you might look somewhere else.
