That was an excellent one.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreSpoiler: First, it was wonderful seeing Jane and Joe together in something modern. And I liked the romantic comedy aspect of it all. I thought the casting was done well. Especially the actress playing Angie. She had me laughing out loud. And I was happy to see Joe Lando playing the love interest in this one. He and Jane still have their chemistry between them. For those expecting to see the detective side of Prudence, you would be disappointed. In Dear Prudence, she was on vacation and found herself surrounded with a mystery, but she isn't a detective by trade. Prudence McIntyre is really a Martha Stewart type person and we see more of that in this movie. She is frantically trying to keep her show on the air the way it is, and with the help of family and friends, she is able to do so. I love the tidbits of advice they sprinkled throughout the movie. I would love to see a follow up with Joe and Jane again as Prudence and Jack. Maybe in the next one, they could add a bit of the mystery many seemed to miss in this one, as long as they keep the romance.
View MoreJoe Lando. Jane Seymour. Dr. Quinn-Medicine Woman. Watching this rag of a movie made me appreciate that great series even more.In this one, after Lando runs away, Seymour marries after 4 months. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out why. It comes out anyway at the film's end.This is a tale of a woman having her own improvement show. Suddenly the show is taken over by someone else and the producer is Seymour's ex-lover Lando. Seymour's real-life husband appears near the end as the big boss. It's basically a tale of a woman asserting her rights to get back her own show and do as she pleases. The son of the boss is two-timing his "dumb" blonde girlfriend while making advances at Seymour's daughter. At the film's beginning, you would think that Seymour has 2 children. All of a sudden, the guy is working for Seymour and not the son you would think. This was a bit confusing.Seymour comes up a scheme in the way that Ethel and Lucy made up their schemes to get what they wanted.Yes, there is some fun but the film is essentially inane for the taste of the viewing public. Please bring back Sully and Dr. Quinn.
View MoreJane Seymour reprises her role of Prudence McCoy in "Perfectly Prudence," a 2011 TV movie. This film is notable for reuniting Seymour with her Dr. Quinn costar, Joe Lando, who is still handsome with short hair.In the last TV movie, Prudence was involved in a murder while on vacation. I'm a little disappointed that this wasn't another mystery. Here, Prudence, a Martha Stewart type, is preparing for another season of her TV show, with her daughter (Katherine Flynn) acting as producer. The only problem is, network execs are making a lot of problems. They want to change everything about the show, 'sex it up,' and give Prudence a young, sexy cohost (Valerie Azlynn). And one of the execs is an old love of Prudence's (Lando) - and the relationship didn't end well.Since this is Hallmark, the film didn't have a lot of bite to it. Valerie Azlynn was terrific as Angie, and contributed much-needed energy and humor. Seymour is lovely, but she spent most of the movie being angry. It was good when she finally softened. And it was so nice to see her with Lando again.My verdict: just okay. Certainly Seymour can handle a stronger script, and it's a good character with excellent household hints!
View MoreJane Seymour enlivens this Hall Channel TV movie sequel to 2008's DEAR PRUDENCE about a Martha-Stewart-like TV personality. This time there's a corporate takeover and an attempted makeover of the show and an old lover who reappears. Valerie Azlynn is quite funny as the ditzy weather bunny who is being foisted on the show in order to improve the -- harrumph! -- demographics.Director Paul Schneider fills out the piece with some nice auctorial comments; as Miss Seymour and Katherine Flynn as her daughter and producer walk and talk about how to present a particular guest, they finish by noting it will be a 'walk and talk' and the camera offers the audience a nice flourish to let us know that is what we've just seen. A pleasant setting and competent actors make this one that is worth seeing.
