Ballet, luck and Ireland

7.1 stars.This story is nestled right in there with 1000 other Hallmark stories. It doesn't stand out particularly, there is nothing substantial in the story that makes me think I want to return to watch this anytime soon.The acting is pretty good, nice to see a return of Moira Kelly. The setting is in Ireland, there's a lot of scenery, and it feels cold, it is during the cold season after all.It's a story of a woman who is down on her luck, so to speak. She works odd jobs while trying to land a prominent role in any major ballet show. She and her mother live in New York. Her mother (Kelly) has never known her real mother, all she knows is that her real mother lives in Ireland. Mother and daughter set out on a journey to Ireland. Most of the movie is in Ireland. It's somewhat fun, partially interesting, a bit entertaining, but nothing spectacular.

Hallmark answers Ireland's call

Another strong on-location production from Hallmark. The movies shot somewhere exotic rather than in a Canadian city filling in are always much more atmospheric.The Irish countryside is arguably as big a star as Shenae Grimes-Beech, Stephen Hagan and "The West Wing" alum Moira Kelly are. It's stunning, and the overhead shots of rolling hills, ancient ruins and rugged cliffs, especially, show it off perfectly. Makes you want to visit the Emerald Isle.The story? Well, formulaic as these Hallmark movies often are, but also pleasant. There's the main love story and a secondary one, which is where Moira Kelly's character comes into things.Come for the Irish scenery and culture, stay for the charming romance.

Predictable Hallmark story with a few detours

Anyone with half a brain could figure out where the story was going to go about a quarter of the way through the movie. As a Hallmark movie, there are tropes that need to be followed. Most important - no kiss until the last moment before "roll credits!" Well, this movie violated that rule not once, but TWICE! (There are no epilogues in a Hallmark movie - stop that!)The story did have its moments, and I will always tear up at a reunion of long-separated family members or a moving goodbye scene. So Hallmark still did a good job of tugging at heartstrings. But I have to complain about the IMDb listing - only the three primary actors listed? Is that because the woman playing the grandmother looked younger than the woman who was supposed to be her daughter? I do hope that is fixed once the movie has been released on all platforms...There were major plot holes and continuity issues that disrupted the viewing experience for me. (What happened to the tulips? Why didn't the women buy a beverage in the pub? Why did repairing the garden table transform it into something so ugly when they were both supposed to be historic heirloom preservers? I HAVE QUESTIONS!!!)Props to the main characters for actually looking like you cared about each other. That's rare in a Hallmark movie.
