Sweet Surrender (2014 TV Movie)
4/10
Too much
17 October 2020
Too much rehash of overused plot lines. I'm so tired of save-the-family-_____ (B&B). One of the leads isn't sticking around. Misunderstood scene witnessed through the window. Can't take a chance because I was burned in the past (Bethany). And on and on.

Too much of cardboard villains. The acting is bad in general, but especially the two villains. I usually like to see Arielle Kebbel, but she really disappointed me in this one. It didn't seem like she believed in the part she was playing.

Too predictable resolution. I was so hoping they weren't going to pull this likewise cliché resolution to the B&B's problems. But they did. Almost straight out of one of the most classic movies of all time except no tinkling bell. And you knew dad was going to get involved somehow. But it was all done so poorly.

Too much lame dialogue.

Too much going on at one time. The story was all over the place and transitions were clumsy. The romance is rushed too much.

Too sappy. And I like sappy.

I've really poured on the criticism , but if you can overlook some of these things, especially the predictable and reused plot lines, there's a nice love story, even if it's rushed.
