Okay, so I used to love Lori Laughlin in When Calls the Heart in the first few seasons. She wasn't amazing, but I guess I didn't expect much good acting from her back then, at least not enough to notice that she's a pretty crap actress. I see it now in this movie. I just loved the character in WCTH is all, I didn't love Lori Loughlin herself. So with all her personal life drama I was somewhat on the fence about watching this at first. I honestly didn't care much about what she did beyond realizing that she severely screwed up and did noting to fix it, just expected to gloss it over. Still, I like feel good movies and it seems Hallmark actors have all migrated over to GAC, so here I am giving the movies a try. Except that this movie was awful, like seriously awful. It was so boring and I spent 5 days just to get through it. I fell asleep on three different occasions because I kept putting it off til later in the night to continue watching and it would just put me to sleep. Her acting was awful, nothing could've saved this movie with her in it. The whole cast wasn't awful, just her, and the male lead wasn't so great either. He kind of creeped me out and there was zero chemistry and I just didn't feel the warm happy feels I get from Hallmark movies. So, I remember the whole big deal about GAC being the new network designed for family based Christian values and if you're a "good Christian" according to Candace Cameron Bure then this is the network you're supposed to watch. Okay, but then I see Lori Laughlin on there in a new movie and it really made me feel like the network is pretty blatantly hypocritical. I mean it's not like she didn't commit actual crimes...she really did and it was proven without a doubt, extensive crimes too. So if this is the Christian values network then why are they endorsing and supporting her? It honestly just kind of rubbed me the wrong way and sent me back to Hallmark. Hallmark seems to have something that GAC movies and their scripts are missing. The characters have no emotion on GAC movies, the spark is missing in the scripts even though it's the same actors and actresses. Why have they all become so wooden all of a sudden when they had so much life before?? Yet I've been watching because I grew to love the acting of most of the actors and actresses who migrated from Hallmark, plus I'm supposed to watch GAC now, right? If I want to support the Christian values it represents then apparently I should be watching this network, because that's what it represents. Except it obviously is a lie because it doesn't genuinely represent Christian values and it just represents bigotry. I may not be happy at all with the changes Hallmark made...so I don't watch those movies. I think the lack of numbers for those movies alone is enough to show them their errors and eventually they'll realize that they messed up and do something to fix it. However, it is hypocritical of GAC to claim to be the network of Christian values in all these news articles and then endorse someone who has been incredibly awful if you give real thought to the extent of thought and actions that went into her schemes and acts from a Christian perspective. It wasn't a simple "I was misled and didn't know better" situation. She created a web of lies, she misled, she bribed, she cheated and conned, many times. A lot of thought, deceit, and manipulation went into it all for a lengthy amount of time. This wasn't a small one time mistake, which is why she was convicted. Through it all and since then she has only exhibited entitlement, arrogance, and never once showed any remorse to make the public believe she genuinely feels bad about what she did or that she even sees the wrong in her prideful behavior. So, it taints GAC and whoever made the choice. These verses call to mind for anyone from GAC reading, 1 Corinthians 15:33, 2 Corinthian 6:14, Psalm 1:1-6.
