This is a perfect example of a Hallmark Christmas movie that just totally misses the mark. It doesn't happen very often, but this is one that you can miss.
First of all, the entire cast seems like they are on speed or something !! They all talk real fast and frantically - like every scene is a major event or crisis - even though nothing that happens in this story is major, critical, or ever interesting. After about 45 minutes of the cast's overbearing and uncalled for hysteria over nothing - you kind of feel like you could have a nervous breakdown if you see and hear one more scene with them talking so fast and frantically.
Maybe it's not the actors' fault. Maybe the director realized that the script was lifeless and boring, so she told the performers to say their lines real fast and with a lot of urgency in order to beef up the drivel that was written. But, the director, Marlo Hunter, has very little experience, so maybe it's not totally the writers' fault.
Who knows ? In any event, it's all a boring mess.
The ad for this film gives the impression that there are a lot of aquatic scenes, but you find much of that here.
Skip this one, Lil.
