Falling Together

This movie was a big disappointment ,especially with the reputation of the stars,Ashley Williams and Paul Campbell. They are wonderful actors and I have liked all of their previous movies. This movie had a worthwhile message of Alzheimer's disease and the brave people who deal with it but not for a two hour movie. Ashley's character did talk too much and was over the top with her bubbly persona. Paul's character lacked depth and was hard to figure out . They really lacked chemistry and had no spark there . Hallmark has produced some fine movies with great performances but this one fell short. I just didn't like the way the story was presented,bland and uninteresting. I look forward to much better from them.

I love Paul Cambell as a Hallmark leading man, Ashley Williams is reliable but always too much and this one is too extreme even for her. At one point she said she didn't really have friends when she was little like dude you're so annoyingly over the top ofcourse.

I loved the walk and attention to Alzheimer's and dementia. But the volunteer coordinator went from not knowing who she was to consoling Ashley's character and totally lucid within 2 seconds it was a very odd scene.

Overall it was too much. Also why did she move 6 weeks before starting the job? And she had the whole place set up in an hour. And she should have been from like a wholesome Midwest place or something not Miami. That seemed weird too.

I wouldn't watch this one again if it were on.

Sadly even Hallmark movies have produced some meaningless and mindless entertainment. This was very meaningful and shows how the Fracture of our society can lead to desperate consequences. Ashley Williams was the perfect person to play the lead role as a bright eyed uplifting person. Paul Campbell as always, adds a touch of compassion in whatever movie he plays. Yes I know, in this hyped up world, people are too skitish to sit through something that is meaningful. You might realize that you're out of sync with what's important in the world. This movie is important not only for highlighting Alzheimer's but how we can learn to get along with one another.

Hallmark's recent foray into what I always think of as After School Specials for adults. In addition to rom coms taking place in fictitious countries still ruled by royals or predicated on amnesia, widowhood, or broken down modes of transportation, Hallmark has a steady sideline in message-driven movies. In this case, the unlikely storyline is Alzheimer's awareness awkwardly shoehorned into a plot about a woman obsessed with developing community in a condo building. The two "leads" are the building superintendent who has been SCARRED by CARING and thus is aggressively isolated and an overly giving self denying college admissions officer who doesn't work ever because she has moved to town 6 weeks early SOLELY to get to KNOW THE NEIGHBORS - in Pittsburgh - cue the Mr. Rogers jokes. She becomes overly involved in an Alzheimers awareness walk while also endlessly insisting on new and fun ways to create COMMUNITY in her condo building. While the message is nice, the execution is horrible. The movie makes little to no sense. Perhaps a movie about a person WITH Alzheimers might have been a better idea? Or about caregiver? IDK anything but this unholy marriage of weird storylines.

To be honest I got attacked by happiness watching this movie. I already knew the story would be simple, but it surprised me with some interesting plots. Also this movie showcased a good cause (please watch to know)! I feel like it's THE perfect family-romance-slice of life movie. You don't have to think too much tho, let the story serves you they way it does. It was very lovely imo, I didn't find it cringey I even thought it's very relatable. I enjoyed this movie so much, thinking of rewatching again sometime after I crossed my queuing hallmark movie lists off. Definitely recommended, especially if you like light storied movies.
