Campfire Kiss (2017)

Memorable, crazy movie

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

There is no cohesive story or conflict developed in Campfire Kiss therefore, it is difficult for the audience to stay interested. The main characters have zero chemistry. Danica McKellar, Dana, who has some talent as an actress, in this movie, comes across as unlikable and irritating. There is no justification for her anger at Steve (Paul Green) throughout most of the film. We're suppose to believe that because Steve, the owner of a sporting goods store, was talking to his daughter on his cell phone when Danica, a customer, wanted his attention, then playfully teased her, that this brief encounter justifies Dana's irrational anger at this man for the entire first part of the film. Throughout the rest of her encounters with Steve, Dana goes in and out of adolescent flirtation to unexplained rage. Even the usual, spectacular Hallmark scenery is not remarkable in Campfire Kiss. Avoid spending two hours watching this unappealing, lack of romance mess.

Loved the scenery. Not the female lead. She always looks so sad and pouty. She came across as not very likable. Liked the male lead and the kids were fine. Not my favorite, not the worst I've seen. Would love to see more movies with Alicia Witt.I also would love to see some Christmas movies during the summer.

Two things : 1) I really like Hallmark movies. 2) I also like movies about camping or wilderness related. :) So I maybe biased in this review.Story-wise, its the typical Hallmark family-oriented style with a romantic feel. Something that you would expect and not expect at the same time.Actors , I'd say the main characters did their parts very well. The leave-me-alone children, the over-protective parents, a little drama and the sparkle of romance.By the way, I wish that raccoon could have really been a bear - that it really tore the tent apart. And then Paul comes out to have protected them.I enjoyed this movie. And like I said, I like it! :)7 out of 10 stars for me.

Campfire Kiss brings back the Hallmark regular Danica McKellar in its usual mundane and harmless way. After what I would call a disappointing Christmas Movie last year for Danica I was hoping for a better movie. This movie, while very watchable, is very forgettable and after being seen once will not make you want to rewind to see it again.Of the many general themes of Hallmark movies one of the least desirable to me is when one of both of the leads kids play matchmaker. It is used often, and sometimes works but often does not and gets a little creepy. Here it works okay but still kind of leaving you wanting say to them mind your own business. Secondly, the "conflict" in the romance in this movie was especially weak and in my opinion not really a conflict at all. It just left you wanting to say call him/her and straiten it out.All that being said why this movie rates an above average review is all the actors were good in their roles. The dialogue was not as trite as many of these movies. Having his ex-wife show up was a nice twist. The romance seemed believable.If you like these movies and have not seen it you will want to do so.
