what did everyone think? - Carolina Moon (2007) Discussion

[–] S.L.Fake 17 years ago

My wife watches these movies... I missed the first one a few weeks ago (the one with Heather Locklear).

I liked Carolina Moon and Blue Smoke.

Carolina Moon was the best of the three that I saw. Blue Smoke was a close second. The one before that... with the 3 sisters and the ranch (I forget the title)... was a DISTANT third.

Carolina Moon and Blue Smoke were two movies who just happened to have female leads / protagonists... but could have appeared on any network. The one with the three sisters just screamed poorly made "Lifetime" movie.

Well I enjoyed the book and was pleased to see that the movie stayed true to it. The only thing I had a problem with was the casting of Tori and Cade. I pictured Tori with a more healthy look; skinny, yes, skeletal NO. Cade I envisioned as taller, more muscular, and a bit more clean cut. Other than that...great movie!

It was a dissapointment....Oliver Hudson was fabulous, but when Tori had her premonitions they just made me laugh, bad acting. I thought the girl who played Faith was good. Oh well, I guess the imagaination is better.

Claire Forlani used to look good. But yes, she's so damn thin, her face looked like skin wrapping a skull. Hollywood these days...

I loved it. I can't choose which is my favorite now, Carolina Moon or Blue Smoke. I never read any of the books, but both these movies translated so well. Montana Sky, not so much. I liked it, but it wasn't great. Angel's Fall was kind of boring. I was very impressed with Carolina Moon. I really loved it.

I loved this! It had been a while since I read the book, but it seemed to stay pretty true. I love the relationship between Faith and Tori's Cousin (love the morning after with the dog scene). They were my favorite part of the book, and I am glad they left it in the movie. I think someone had a problem with the "wooden" acting, but if you notice this is only when they are speaking like they are in a romance novel. Those statements never sound as elegant in real life.

I would say this is my favorite Lifetime Nora Roberts adapatation, followed by Blue Smoke (good casting), Angel Falls (either Heather Locklear was too old or Jonathan Sceach (?) was to young), and a distant fourth Montana Sky (it was better the second time around, but still should have been a two parter or something).
I hope they make more of her books into tv movies. Maybe she can be this generations Danielle Steel (I miss those movies).

I enjoyed Carolina Moon better than the other three. The acting in Montana Sky was very boring and I did not like Blue Smoke at all. They needed better acting for Montana Sky and Blue Smoke. I missed Angel's Fall so I am hoping they will do a repeat so I can see that one.

I hope Nora Roberts does more of these but with better acting from the characters.

In all honesty i am tired of nora roberts bad made for TV flicks!! crap and i have seen them all-im a masochist! especially carolina moon if not for jaqueline bisset, the chick who played the sister-she rocked it was CRAP!!!! those premonitions are almost as bad as alyssa milano's on Charmed and she sucks!!!

Ehrrm.. I can't say that I think the acting in this film was awsome, but some characters were ok.. The girls who played Tory and Faith just made me laugh :P

Faith: What can I say? I'm the world's best actor.
Angel: Second best.

I loved every single minute of it! :D And did I mention that Oliver Hudson is hot! Enough said!

[–] greenerskies47 16 years ago

I really liked it! And like everyone else has said, Oliver Hudson is hot!! I have to admit at first the accents seemed a bit odd, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, I loved it and I definitely want to read the book now!

it was the best one out of the four in my opinion. Oliver hudson is sex on legs..lol and he's also a great actor. i loved claire forlani since her role in 'meet joe black'. the cast was all around great. i'm actually in the process of reading the book. the movie was awesome!!!
