Plot summary

Cole Baird has everything—a beautiful wife, successful career, large home, country club membership and expensive toys. Behind the facade, however, is a man trapped by his surroundings and falling ever behind in the pursuit of his life's dream. Not strong enough to confront his father's expectations, he left his true love, his best friend and his vision of life in small town America, and set off on a legal career—intent to, one day, return. Now the rising star in Washington social circles, and the youngest Managing Partner in the history of a powerhouse DC law firm, he is given the choice—continue the path of success in a life to which he never aspired, or return to the community that raised him.

Hallmarky Sparks Opera

This film carried many sophisticated themes on its back for the full duration. Unfortunately they imploded under the weight of a Hallmark-style/Nicolas Sparks-style delivery. The widow of so-many-months suddenly is open to her first love, is convenient. The managing partner who committed to the firm a few months previous is now sticking a flag in his tiny hometown to fight big business. There are too many superheroes and too many villains for this to be real. The real takeaway is that innumerable martyrs have complicated the field for the living by doing disingenuous things, rather than listening to ones whom they claimed to love. This was a fabricated and convoluted conflict story based upon the sum ignorance of mortals.

The Road to Galena

Ben Winchell and Aimee Teegarden star as high school sweethearts who have plenty of challenges thrown at them throughout their lives. A well-conceived drama about the stresses of all different sorts of relationships (but particularly father-son) and life in small farming towns, where, increasingly, small, privately-owned farms are being swallowed up by larger companies.

The film also (quite bravely) touches on more difficult subjects like suicide, and has a little of the usual small-town drama you might find in a Hallmark movie, though with it's often heavy subject matter, it definitely isn't one of those. A somewhat predictable ending, but Aimee Teegarden and Ben Winchell were great.
