A Good Flick -- The Note

.

Good flicks are so rare these days. It seems they all have foul language and premarital "relationships" and other garbage, that I usually just watch the same movies over and over, or find one that was made before 1950.

At the recommendation of a family friend (a guy friend, no less), however, Doug and I watched "The Note" this week. Based on the book by Angela Hunt, it stars Genie Francis (yes, General Hospital!), and Ted McGinley (yes, Happy Days!) as newspaper colleagues. In a nutshell, he helps her with a story, which ultimately affects her personally, and in the process they reveal their feelings for each other.

The story is faith-based (though not overtly), as the characters discover little miracles that occur throughout the story. It's a Hallmark film, not made by a big blockbuster producer, but it is sweet, and even Doug enjoyed it.

And lest you think a movie can't be romantic without you-know-what, in one scene, near the end of the movie, the two love interests kiss -- very sweetly, not gropingly -- and it is a très romantic scene. I admit that my "kissing life" has improved dramatically since, and it hasn't been my doing (there's an unforeseen bonus!)!

The Note has a sequel, also, and I borrowed it from the library for the weekend. I'm looking forward to some more good clean movie time (and maybe a little kissing!).
