 Angels Fall November 10, 2008
This is an alright movie, but dissapointing after Montana Sky and Carolina Moon. It is worth watching once, but the book is so much better than the movie. I guess the characters in the movie just didn't hold up to what I pictured when I read the book.
 Good book but bad movie September 13, 2008
After reading the book by Nora Roberts, I was so excited to get to watch the movie. I couldnt put the book down, and was so surprised by the end. The movie, however, did not have the same charm. I really like Heather Locklear, but I do believe that she was too old for this role, and the acting WAS NOT GOOD. So, if you havent read the book ~ read the book, but as far as the movie, I would not recommend it.
What were they thinking? August 4, 2008
I am a huge Nora Roberts fan, but this movie literally made me sick. The casting was all wrong. Heather Locklear should not have played the title role. She is too old and had far too much plastic surgery. She just bother the holy crap out of me.
The acting left much to be desired as well. It was almost as if every actor on the screen mentally told themselves: "Hey! This is for Lifetime, let's do a half a** job. We still get paid whether the movie is crap or not."
Also, I think that the editing was entirely shoddy. If you haven't read the book you might be okay with the flow of the movie, but if you have there might be places were you have to stop and go: "Uh?"
I don't know how much creative input Nora Roberts has with these movies, but she seriously needs to put her foot down.
Don't judge the book by this movie July 23, 2008
I really enjoyed this book and was excited when I heard the movie was coming out. But what a disappointment that turned out to be. For the most part it followed the book with just a few changes, but the acting was horrible. Heather Locklear is a decent actress, but I don't know what she was doing here - it definitely was not acting. The scene where she heard the car backfire was comical. She was supposed to look like she was ducking for cover, in fear for her life. Instead it looked like she was doing an initial rehearsal of the the scene, going "ok, this is where I hear the car, think it's gunfire, and I go like this..."
For those of you who have seen the movie but not read the book, please do yourselves a favor and read the book. You'll be pleasantly surprised, and hopefully the book will wash the foul taste of this movie out of your head.
Pure Rental Fare...Not Worth The Price of Purchase!! June 27, 2008
What a disappointment! I remember when I first heard that Nora Roberts was emulating Danielle Steel and allowing some of her books to be developed into TV movies, I was so anxious to see the end results. I am a lifelong D. Steel fan & have virtually every novel and TV movie she has made. I like Nora Roberts' work as well, but admittedly, I am a sucker for the TV movie romance genre (Thanking the "TV Gods" for Lifetime and Lifetime & Hallmark Movie Channels as we speak!!). The Steel adaptations have been so good & well-acted by and large, so I was also very hopeful for N. Roberts' works. Well, wishful thinking can only take you so far!!!
This movie was a dud in every sense of the word. The plot was scattered and nonsensical, the acting was horrific, the romance fizzled, and the dialogue was a crime against humanity!!! I kept wondering what kind of a bet Heather Locklear must have lost for her to agree to be part of this mess. Heather Locklear--the TV darling who has created such memorable characters & wowed audiences with her impressive acting range from drama to comedy and back again over the years--presents such an unlikeable & confusing character in this movie. Instead of Locklear's patent vixen, love to hate characters or her female heroines with heart & humor, we have a traumatized former chef suffering the apparent affects of PTSD, who might be the victim of a gaslighting OR who might be a murderess in disguise. Bottom line: You won't care!!! At least I didn't. The story bounces all over the place and the plot is way too convoluted. And, the so-called romance between Locklear's Reece & Johnathon Schaech's brooding Brody was so dull it was almost painful to watch at times...Much like the movie itself!! Save yourself some money....Rent it, don't buy it, and you be the judge!!!
