Uninspiring, nothing to see here

The direction, sound, lighting and editing were up to the usual turn the crank Hallmark offering, but the chemistry among the leads was less so and the dialog leaned more toward irritation or annoyance than real relationship. Picking at each other over and over again might reflect an elementary school romance, but not a mature adult one.The worst thing for me were the accents. They did not have to set the movie in New York City, but once they made that decision, how hard would be be for any competent, trained actor to do at least a minimal Yankee accent. Not one specific to a borough. One from anywhere in New England would help.But no, every one here is mid-western or western Canadian throughout. Did the coffee guy, the leads, the animal handler, the relatives all arrive in NYC yesterday?The street scenes were daylight and all but deserted. Has any part of NYC every looked like that?Hard to carry the viewers into a place that none of them seem to have ever seen."Kelly" had a marvelous opportunity to blend a distinctive New Orleans accent with an overlay of Manhattan, but instead she didn't even attempt to sound either Cajun nor northerner.

Feel good tale with its heart in the right place

There's actually a line in the script that requires the lead man to state the immortal words "That was the worst acting ever". It suggests that the film's makers didn't take themselves too seriously and that is the best way to approach watching this movie. There is a sense in which the idea of a lavish party for a ten-year old child, complete with hired alpacas, is extravagant and beyond what most viewers will have experienced in their own lives. But this is escapist fantasy and, in any case, wait to see how the party turns out! There's a (lightly peddled) moral message here and I enjoyed watching it. There are several 'should they or shouldn't they' dilemmas running in parallel (a promotion, a move abroad, letting down a friend, should they even turn up to the party?) and I think it all knitted together quite nicely. This is not great cinematic art and neither is it a waste of time. Agreed, the New York depicted is a very clean and safe version and I'm not sure the Canadian lead actress convinces as a daughter of the South, but these are distractions. My advice is to follow the plot as it unravels and recognise it for being a simple, well-intentioned piece of family film-making. If you have a ten year-old child to watch it with you, it will be the perfect recipe and give you lots to discuss afterwards.
