The ratings are totally reversed in my opinion. Nic's pen pal was far better than Sydney's Journey. Overall it's a cute concept. But it also seems they don't talk all too much, but the one referred to the ladies as aunties to her kids. And yet they set up a video call when someone is in a love club emergency and not just regular daily friends. It's 2023. Where is the text chain? Sydney sends an email to say she needs them. And in both they all just drop everything for a week? Nic: the inn is closed for remodel and yet, they are able to get there right away to stay? Even with lying about who they are. It's unrealistic. She is trying to get her business going and yet she spends all this money for a job she won't get paid for? And when an inn closes for remodels they aren't looking for someone to go in and swipe out the doilies and add s'mores and a charcuterie board to a "honeymoon suite" it's just silly. And he talks about what's in her letters. So wouldn't she ask if it wasn't you how'd you know what I wrote? Do you know what was written back? Woulda changed everything. Proper ending. I liked these characters. Sydney- she had to pivot after getting hurt in college so she has a blog now. In the other episode it sounds kinda new. What else has she been doing for 10 years? Blogging is obviously a full time job but it didn't really seem like it here. This whole time they sounded like 3 years out of school not 10. Bryce broke up with her 4 times in college the last being just walking away on NYE. They couldn't be that serious to keep pining after him for a decade. And not seeing him in 10 years then all the sudden non stop. A doctor goes to a conference him and his hospital group of runners aren't staying in town for a week to do a half marathon. It's just stupid. February in Canada and they are wearing light jackets to run and a dress or jeans and a shirt? Hmmmm. Again the friends drop everything to stay with her while she trains to cook up this situation. And she hasn't run since she got hurt a decade ago? Bryce is a total tool. It's pretty bad. Just. No. Definitely should have like a 4 while Nic's story is a 6.

I don't usually write reviews but this movie was such a disappointment and I reached my limit with Hallmark's diminishing quality. I don't expect award winning writing, my expectations are reasonable. I have come to the conclusion thought that Hallmark does not employ a script supervisor for any of their films. Endless continuity issues and adolescent writing skills frequently damage what could be entertaining stories. It's disrespectful to viewers. This movie was barely tolerable. I could list several questionable examples but I honestly don't want to give more energy to this movie than I already have. If they use the same writers on the next segment expect the same subpar quality. Hallmark can be charming and touching fare, a guilty pleasure. I wonder if there was a shift when several actors (who are not all missed) left for another channel. The movies Hallmark has put out since at least the holidays have been less than gripping. The mystery channel movies have been significantly more engaging and interesting than the standard HMC. Hallmark, please do better.
