As Good As It Gets
Absolutely Fantastic
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Story lacks imagination; same cookie cutter schtick Hallmark puts out..movie...after movie...after painful movie. No imagination to the tale at all. Characters were dull as ditchwater although Catherine Bell's character was also really annoying. Her acting was forced. It's annoying that the fact she's a doctor comes up in each and every #!@!*! SENTENCE.The only reprieve is the fabulous setting and view.Something that Hallmark has taken to doing that is really annoying is to avoid people from showing they are aging, they are using technology to apply a light blur to everyone's faces. Idiotic notion and insulting to both the actors and the viewing audience.
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.
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.
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.
