I love that this movie had a different take in so much that the professions were different. I also really loved the history they gave on the Cherokee tribe.
I think Arielle Kebbel did great for about 99% of the move got a Hallmark outing. She is stunning and cute. She obviously was like I'm playing this as a ton boy and even her walk seemed a bit exaggerated to play the part. The male lead I didn't know but he was obviously second fiddle and played it pretty darn well. The side characters especially the Cherokee friend was great- I'd love to see him in more.
Costuming- some was spot on. A few almost distracted me from what was going on. Like they looked up archaeologist and saw a picture from 1980 and went with it for her and yet he was in jeans and a button down? And her shirt was always sliding off her shoulders. Just take it off. I do love they didn't try to do like cute clothes that would be unrealistic.
The scenery is obviously beautiful but script wise if I had to hear her say the Appalachian one more time...
I would have liked the story of the trail of tears to be more. Not the first 5 lines of Wikipedia.
Also she said they'd be moving too fast if they kissed and a few days later he proposes and they kiss for the first time? Leave it with him giving up on an opportunity to join her and call it a day. Come on now. She was there for a few weeks. He Carrie's that diamond around at all times? The end ugh'ed me
The only other part that annoyed me was she was telling the girl about why they broke up at the dog site. And then 15 min later she is telling her the same exact thing at lunch. And the finding of the jewel was so minute and seemed too easy. It's an impossible hike but he is running and fake hurts himself after a few minutes? Nah.
Overall I'd love to see her more often. I like the guy and I think he has some potential. The idea is solid. But the time could have been better spent.
