Nice effects though.

Just perfect...

Great Film overall

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

If I could speak to Hallmark, I would ask that they change the name of this movie. Otherwise, they should put a disclaimer on the opening credits - do not watch this movie if you are a fan of the Jan Karon books. I can't begin to understand why they had to change the ages and characterizations of the main characters, the setting, the backstory for Dooley, Olivia Davenport, Marge Owen's, Happy Endings Bookstore, etc. etc. etc. I just cannot understand why you'd buy the rights to a book and then rip it apart for the screen. This deserved a better treatment.

I could not even finish the first half hour. . . . It was just a "boy meets Andie" movie that we've seen before in Cedar Cove. Andie, Andie, Andie, you should have let Ms. Karon have more say. She created multi-dimensional, vulnerable, redemptive characters. Y'all didn't even come close. Greatly disappointed.

I agree with jemoore! If you had never read the books, it's a nice movie with a sweet story. But since I've read & reread the series several times over the years, this did not depict Jan Karon's true vision. The homes of the main 3 characters were very wrong, as was the church & the actors for those roles, even the animals were wrong. Silly as it sounds, I made a list of everything that was off from the books. I enjoyed it, but not for the spirit of the books, just as another decent Hallmark movie.

Did Jan Karon agree to this? The story has been watered down and fluffed. I don't get it. The actors are all wrong, and the dialogue is silly. This is total Hallmark and not at all Karon. How did this happen? These excellent books deserve so much better screen writing and acting. This is so disappointing.
