This third episode was even more stupid than the previous two with Andrew Walker's ex-wife being even more OTT as the demanding bride. The whole show was extremely forgettable and Andrew Walker still hasn't owned the role yet. I keep feeling like he's either ill, burned out or simply wishes he'd never signed on to this series.

Reactions are predictable and bland and even Nikki DeLoach seemed to be struggling in this one.

The plot was stupid and I kept wondering how most of these people had grown up in this small town together without seeming to have any connection. There's no warmth to the characters and everyone just seems to be acting as written and directed without bringing any spark to their roles.

I will watch the upcoming one but I'll have my phone handy in case I get bored.

I enjoy the charisma between Nikki Deloach and Andrew Walker in these roles of Goldy and Tom. I, like others who enjoyed the books, find so many aspects of the books changed (body types, core relationships between characters (ex-husband, best friend, etc.), swapping out a daughter for a son (why?), and adding to it in this movie, that Tom cannot cook) to render the movies lacking in sub-text which was provided to them.

Even if Hallmark had just made Goldy's ex-husband grouchy (I mean his nickname was "The Jerk!" in Ms. Mott Davidson's books), it might make sense, but a pleasant, helpful, happy to see ex-husband/surgeon? It makes that whole side of Goldy's history not make sense.

Why is Tom only be allowed to be a hunk detective? I feel certain Mr. Walker could handle more! Tom's also missing the wood working skills and his can-do-it attitude, calm attitude, which is such a big part of his character in the books.

Maybe Hallmark only contracted to use some of the author's books or elements of her books? The wedding storyline was so changed, I did not recognize it.

However, I enjoyed the movie and look forward to more. Yes, things from the books were were changed and/or removed, but twists were also added to keep the interest going in the movie. You definitely do not have to be a fan of the Goldy Bear series by Diane Mott Davidson to enjoy this movie, hence my 9 - Star rating! Nicely done!
