Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
View MoreI loved this show for a long time, but since they keep changing family members, they do not have the quality in the DIY projects that they used to. The crafts seem to target children instead of adults. They are not doing the fashion and beauty segments that they used to. I realize Kym is recovering and I hope she comes back. Debbie is not the greatest show host. I miss the quality that the show used to have. I love Hallmark and I hope they fix the problems, but in order to do that they must realize that the quality of the show is terrible now compared to just a few years ago.
View MoreI watched the first Home and Family. It was great and I was so sad when it was taken off the air. I still have VHS I recorded of their last week. It was that good. Then, when I found out the show was going to be on again on Hallmark, I got really excited. They didn't have Christina any longer but I thought Paige did a good job and along with Mark, it was a good little show. I have really enjoyed watching Mark and Christina and would record the show when I wasn't able to watch it live. I really enjoyed the cooking segments with Christina as not only does she know how to cook well she could help the guest chef keep on track and explain to the viewer anything said that she knew we might not understand. I was really disappointed when I saw she was on vacation for a couple of weeks. I didn't watch the full show while she was gone. But then, it was announced she wasn't on vacation but rather had been replaced with Debbie. I no longer watch Home and Family. I'm sad about that, but I do not like Debbie and with Mark, they look too chummy and inappropriate.
View MoreCristina was brought back to the H&F because the because the new host and Mark Stein this just send it not working well. Woody Fraser the creator of the show originally had Cristina Ferrerain the late 90s as co-host ! The show was a hit! when he started the program again is just wasn't succeeding so he begged Cristina to come back and she did. The show is ratings came up immediately and she's been on the show for four years building such a wonderful devoted fan base! Most of the viewers where middle aged her over and watched every day for two hours! They love the show because of Cristina because she brought much love and joy and heart to the show and watched every day for two hours! They love the show because of Cristina she brought much love and joy and heart to the show! All of a sudden Cristina I was no longer on the show! They said she was on vacation and it continued for about three weeks! One morning they said Debbie Minneapolis will be the host with Mark Stienes! The devoted viewers did not know until recently the real reason Cristina is no longer there! She was let go because she was too OLD! She is such a classy, gracious, and loving woman who gave her heart to the show! The show no longer has the heart! So many devoted viewers are posting are no longer watching the show they are boycotting it not buying a hallmark products, etc. You may go to Maria Shriver Facebook live,, LA talk radio, and to Cristina Ferrera and see all the posts! I needed to post because this is such a devastating action on the part of Hallmark Channel and HomeAndFamily show, this is such a devastating action on the part of Hallmark Channel and HomeAndFamily cell when views post and comment about Cristina and why she was fired the posts are being detected or the fans are blocked from all social media that H&F is with!!!!!!
View MoreOther people in the family enjoy this kind of stuff, but I think that this show is a joke, especially from a technical aspect. The topics covered are typical daytime talk show schlock, which in and of itself isn't bad, but rather predictable. However, the production values are laughable. Because the show is filmed inside a "real house", filming is incredibly awkward. There are crew members constantly walking into frame, realizing that they just walked into frame and abruptly walking out. The hosts are running about to different parts of the house....sometimes they don't make it in time for their cue. Much of the time, there's some sort of audio feed issue with a guest, which just adds the the awkwardness. Also, the hosts (Steines and Davis) accidentally read each others lines, or those of their guests quite often. Paige Davis, while pleasant and upbeat, usually degenerates into a goofy mess by the end of the segment. I don't blame this on her, I blame it on how badly the show is run. Steines is a bit more composed, but you can tell with the guests that things are awkward and they would rather be somewhere else.The concept is novel (filming in an actual house), the hosts can be likable and the topics are fine, but whoever is running/directing this show needs to be fired ASAP. I know it's a daytime talk show and I would normally never write anything about this sort of thing, but the way the show is run is just terrible, one of the worst I've ever seen. It's an insult to the viewers and to the hosts.
