A Summer to Remember

Theme: Fiji, man!

Title: Ironically, not memorable

Stars

Catherine Bell: As accomplished doctor Jessica, Bell handles everything well, including a short-term love triangle. 

Cameron Mathison: My guess is that Mathison is just like his character Will. Either that, or he’s a good actor. 

Overall: I didn’t expect to like this, based on a first impression. It has a few awkward moments and too many key characters, but its two leads pull it all together nicely. It’s not one to bail out on!

Must-see factor: 4 out of 5 

Ending: Exotically happy

Theme: You really should go home

Title: Spoiler alert!

Stars

Autumn Reeser: A powerhouse actress, Reeser delivers her usual charm along with grit and sly wit. She's impossible to resist, and she also stars in my favorite Hallmark production, I Do, I Do, I Do.

Jesse Metcalfe: Believable as a famous country singer, Metcalfe plays a confused guy in a true-to-life way. The camera loves him like his fans do.

Overall: These two stars combine for one of Hallmark’s best offerings. Even though you have an idea of what will happen, it still feels suspenseful, startling and a little heartbreaking. 

Must-see factor: 5 out of 5 

Ending: Big-hug happy
