| User ReviewZachariah RI borrowed this movie from the library one day, and it became one of my favorites. I never knew that Hallmark could produce such great movies! |
| User ReviewA.S.G NCan't believe this was a made-for-TV Hallmark movie. It's such a great film. I'm so happy I finally figured out the name of it!!! |
| User ReviewByron BTV movie I enjoyed. Quite a few well known and soon to be better known actors filling out this cast. Philosophically the story is very interesting. Being a shy, generally quiet person myself, I identified with the character when I first saw it during my high school years. If people feel comfortable around you, either by feeling unthreatened or by taking a position of superiority, it's amazing what you may hear. As the current plot synopsis states, silence does offer protection and a little power. |
| User ReviewColleen DMy favorite Hallmark movie of all time!! "Toliver, this just ain't been your summer!" So sweet and funny and wonderfully quotable! |
