For a start there were just 3 and a half characters, and I cant believe they still aren't at drama school ! How on earth did they get a part in a film. Wooden, doesn't begin to cover it. Although the lead actress had some life in her.
The 'friend' recited her lines as though she were reading from a book. Although the scriptwriters at Hallmark always give 'the friend' the same dialogue to speak ! and its just one topic - 'feelings'. Anyone who can write their name could come up with a better script.
Now we come to Torrance Coombs- Riley. Words fail me. No interaction, said his words like a robot, barely moved, no emotion. What WAS the Director thinking ? well, he should sack the Casting Director for a start !
In essence it was a waste of 2 hours, and I normally enjoy Hallmark. The 3 main characters were constantly on screen, and I soon lost the will to live. But honestly this company needs to get a handle on the quality of the actors they employ. Here in the UK our local amateur drama groups have thespians who could show this lot what acting is all about.
