The chemistry between all is genuine and has intensity and pathos. While not being too impressed with the way his character was written, Gregory Harrison does give his all. Hynes is suitably sympathetic and they are believable together.
Chabert gives a very charming and moving performance as a flawed but relatable character, even showing off an anguished side that doesn't come over as overwrought. The music scoring is not too constant, over-bearing or intrusive, things that can be the case with Hallmark. Something that all the 2021 Hallmark films so far have had in common pretty much. It is a very good looking film, with the star of the film being the absolutely beautiful scenery. A lot is great, with the scenery and acting standing out, but there are things that could have been done better, for all its good intentions the story is patchy. Considering its potential, it was a little disappointing. Did think however that it could have done it better, 'Sweet Carolina' could easily have been great but instead it was more decent but uneven. 'Sweet Carolina' certainly is watchable, actually found it decent and appreciated its good intentions and its approach to family relationships. Have always found Lacey Chabert and Tyler Hynes watchable. It was great to have something more family relationship oriented in a more grown up way (Hallmark are no strangers though to that kind of film and actually have done it quite well and at times very well) rather than the typical formulaic Hallmark romantic comedy type of film. The setting is beautiful and really did like the idea of the story. You go, girl!Įxpectations were higher here in 'Sweet Carolina' than for most of the 2021 Hallmark films. S, I just noticed that Lacey Chabert was actually one of the writers. Fear not, most of the usual templates were still in place, but baby steps! Kudos. It was good to see Hallmark break out of it's own box a little bit. I groaned when they were setting up for the customary Hallmark food fight ( or snowball fight if it's winter) but it was actually funny, thanks to the performances. Gregory Harrison managed to keep him likable. The father was a good guy, but too controlling. There were very realistic problems and conflicts that had to be resolved. I appreciated that they got a normal looking kid who could act to play the introverted son. You can tell they pulled out the "big guns" to meet the challenge of a script that actually called for a range of emotion: Gregory Harrison and Teryl Rothery as the parents, good ole Peter Benson as the city boyfriend who gets dumped for the small town coach, who was played by the always welcome Tyler Hynes. The whole ensemble handled the story very well. I can think of very few in the stable of regulars who could have pulled off the scene where she learns her beloved sister and brother-in-law have been killed.

Luckily they have a real pro and bona fide actress in Lacey Chabert, who did a very credible job. It's not often Hallmark actresses get to portray anguish on camera.
