- Quotes
Sean: Excuse me ma'am. Hi.
Beth: Hi.
Sean: Um. I'm here to pick up music for my daughter Katie.
Beth: Um. Yea. Sure. Um. Just a moment... Katie. Hey. Katie. Your daughter is very advance.
Sean: No. Um. I just found it online. Katie said she needed some help with technique.
Beth: Oh. OK. I see. I would actually recommend Vivaldi's Concerto in A Minor. It has a lot of scale work in it. That may be better for her.
Sean: Sure. I'll take all the help I can get. Classical music is not really my thing.
[pause]
Sean: Better with country.
Beth: [chuckles] Oh. OK. That's different.
Sean: I take it you're not a fan.
Beth: All that my dog, my truck, my women done me wrong, doesn't it start to sound the same after a while?
Sean: You know, some people might say the same thing about classical.
Beth: Well, you would be wrong. Classical has the advantage of no outdated lyrics.
Sean: Oh. But those strings, they just put you to sleep.
Beth: I play one of those strings.
Sean: [chuckles] You know, maybe you shouldn't be such a music snob if you work in a music store.
Beth: Well, I don't work here for one. And for another...
Sean: You just walk into random joints and freelance your opinion?
Beth: My best friend Sheila owns this joint. And I do believe that you started it. Hmm.
Sean: Um.
Sheila Sterchi: Here you go.
[pause]
Sheila Sterchi: Sean. Hi.
Sean: Hey Sheila.
Sheila Sterchi: Hi. I see you met Beth. My best friend in the world.
[chuckles]
Sheila Sterchi: Did you get the piece?
Sean: Yea. Um. She set me up. What do I owe you for it?
Sheila Sterchi: I'll put it on your account.
Sean: Thank you. And, um, Merry Christmas best friend.
Beth: Merry Christmas.
Sean: Bye Sheila.
Sheila Sterchi: Do you even know who that was? Sean Grant.
Beth: Who?
Sheila Sterchi: The country music star.
Beth: Really?
Sheila Sterchi: Yes.
Beth: Seriously?
Sheila Sterchi: City Girl, Red Tail Hawks, Sweet Huckleberry.
Beth: Hmm. Maybe that last one.
[Sheila laughs]
Beth: I don't know.
Sheila Sterchi: Oh. You are the weirdest.
At first, I didn't realise this was a HM&M movie, so I was confused about what was going on. You know how their movies tend to be a little more complex. This is no exception. They deal with grief, and something that really surprised me, racial identity. Music is, of course, the main thing going on. And I discovered that Hallmark movies that base their plot around music are not my thing.
In my opinion, it was okay. At the beginning, there is no much going on, and it can be quite boring. The exciting things happen at the end. At the beginning they deal with the topics I mentioned before. I was more interested in the secondary relationships (Beth and Katie, Sean and Katie, Sean and his mother in law, Katie and her grandma) that in the main one. I want to point out one particular scene at the beginning with Katie and her grandma, that just filled my heart with love.
I would love to see Heather in a more cheerful character. But good performances by the whole cast. I do not think there is chemistry between the leads, which is a bummer because I love Luke.
Anyway, not a fave, but it touches very important themes.
