I'm an avid hallmark watcher. I love a formulaic movie. Most trip me up on stupidity but it doesn't stop me from enjoying them.
I have to say this is one of my favorite hallmark movies ever, especially for a non-holiday movie.
To be fair I love the 60s, especially the music. I was born in 1984 and did my senior thesis on pop music on Buddy Holly. But it was was so good. It wasn't the typical formula. Honestly at the get go I wasn't thrilled with the castin, and I'll be honest that it could have been better, but the script on this was superior to most. The music was great. The overall feel was great. I think of anything this movie faltered in the 90 minute time constraint. I wanted a bit more. Ok I wanted a lot more.
Yes there were a few things that seemed silly. She is getting her doctorate and her idea is to write how black women back up singers in the 60s didn't make enough. NOVEL. That's not going to ear a doctorate. Also the first scene where she just sits down and starts explaining her doctorate and what she can do with it? Umm. Nothing. That could have been done better.
However. Taken as a whole, this movie really has so much to offer and I'm so glad it was on demand and mad for normal viewers it wasn't hyped more.
