... View MoreI started watching this movie because adoption was listed in the slight preview. I lost a child to adoption, thus HAD to watch this to see the outcome. I'm not sure the writing was all that good, nor the fake pregnancy get-up that believable, but the actors were convincing enough to keep me sucked in to the story line. In fact, they had me holding my breath right up until the end of the show. Being a mother who is reunited with the child she lost to adoption, the fact that the father (Antonio Cupo) in this story happens to be an adoptee, made this story even more compelling and actually believable. His eventual reaction to and dialogue concerning the possibility of his child being adopted by strangers, was very realistic. The circumstances of my son's beginnings were not all that different than those in this movie, only I didn't have the resources to track down his father and give him time to reconsider before the powers that be...adoption social workers, portrayed quite accurately in this movie...moved in for the kill, unlike this the outcome in this movie. Honestly, with what seems to be Hollywood's love of adoption in the lives of aging stars, this story and its extremely happy outcome for the parents and the baby is beyond refreshing. It makes me not care in the least about the believability of the minor details or even of the likelihood that this story could be true. It's the kind of story I wanted to be true decades ago, and truly enjoyed imagining was true while watching 'Love Notes'. Thus, I highly recommend it.
... View MoreFell asleep on the sofa and woke up in the middle of the night to this. Thought I left the TV on Skinimax and couldn't find the remote. Oh darn, right? Don't do it! It's a trick. Tracey Lotrds couldn't write a more shallow, less interesting plot. And there was no skin! None! However, the only 3 out of 10 goes to the acting of bit parts in this film. Very subtle, very impressive character acting, despite the amazingly awful dialog thrown at them. Kudos and good luck to you individuals.Now for those of you that read the notes on this site that push this film up to a whopping 5.3... I'm sorry. Find the remote!!!
... View MoreI wasn't familiar with either of the two leads in this film, and after seeing the brief description in the local guide, thought I might watch it for all of, say, five minutes.However, I found it to be a straightforward story, presented in a realistic fashion, with two wholly-engaging leads, who were likable as well as believable.It is refreshing to see a story - whether on film or stage - presented without a trace of exaggeration or forced drama, which still holds one's interest, and a feeling for the characters.This movie, in my opinion, achieved that - far better than most big-screen and big-budget presentations with a bevy of "A" list Hollywood superstars.I believe what most of us want is to be entertained and to view a story with characters whom we we like. Although some performances and story lines are designed to have a hard edge, tragedy, and where the cast are supposed to be less than likable -- it is always a plus to see those where we can feel good after viewing.This one provides all you could ask from a well-designed and well-acted film. While "Lifetime's" are largely average, and sometimes well-below, this one is a commendable, "A-class" effort.
