A Summer to Remember (2018) Reviews
Good cast and location make the most of standard plot.
Unremarkable plot and writing made watchable by the luminous Catherine Bell and her chemistry with another Hallmark regular, Cameron Mathison. 50 year old Ms Bell, who looks 40 at the most, plays her age with an older teen daughter and is paired age appropriately with the male lead. Of course, Hallmark being Hallmark they couldn't resist casting a 10 years younger actor for Cameron's rival for her affections. In addition to the big plus of two attractive leads who are also more than competent actors, the beautiful scenery adds to the charm. Most importantly there is an easy rapport between all of the likable cast. They seemed to all be having a good time (and who wouldn't in beautiful Fiji?) and genuinely like each other. I felt sorry for the poor actress who had to stay in the states and do much of her part on Skype. All in all, a likable entry with few if any cringe-worthy moments from the Hallmark movie assembly line.
10 Stars for Great Casting
Finally, a HM worth raving about, all due to the fantastic casting, especially with the leads Catherine Bell and Cameron Mathison. It is so nice to see mature actors in HM movies, but I think these two were exceptional. No acting like they were younger, as has been done before, the Jessica character was very believable as a physician as is many times with the younger HM actresses is not the case. The teenage daughter was adorable. While it was formulaic, I totally believed something like this could happen. Great all around cast and the Fijian scenery was beyond breathtaking. Well worth seeing even for a second time as I plan to do this summer evening.
Quietly enjoyable
Movies like this usually come down to the performances of the lead stars and also on the chemistry. Catherine Bell is quietly good and her chemistry with Cameron Mathison works, but also with her screen daughter Samantha MacGillivray. This is a mother and daughter that has a little bit of that teenage tension, but there is obviously deep love between them. The story revolves around Will and Jessica being thrown together often with a bit of backstory based on ex-spouses. The setting is beautiful. Who can argue with Fiji, which is listed as the location.
Not Compelling - More a Traveloge Than a Story
This was okay. It had nice scenery, but it seemed more like an advertisement for Fiji than a love story. It just didn't hold my interest with a compelling or even interesting boy meets girl story. The actors were just showing up and running through their lines, and there was no real attraction between anyone. It was like an amateur writer had a checklist and hit each one, but did it poorly and without conviction or drama. And come on, the female lead & her daughter head all the way home from exotic Fiji where she met her husband and promised to return one day. This is to see her friend after she's had a baby. Really? I enjoy most Hallmark shows, but this was worse than a snoozer. Rating is a 3 for some nice scenery.
The Movie Poster just told you the whole story
Outside of the location footage, this film offers an extremely predictable story without even a slightly compelling twist. Overly simplistic and without any real conflict that isn't resolved by a simple exit. Time is precious and this is somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0 hours of life you will never get back.
