Production Quality (2.5 points)
Much like the other installments of this unnecessary series, The Note III is a very standard Hallmark production with no surprises or deviations. Video quality, audio quality, and camera work are all what you can expect from a made for television film. The soundtrack is what you can expect from a Hallmark movie. Sets, locations, and props are fine. The only small issue to raise here is the slightly choppy editing, but that comes with this territory. On the whole, this is a fine production.
Plot and Storyline Quality (0 points)
It’s beyond asking the question as to why we needed another one of these lame rip-off sequels, but does it really matter? The Christian message, whatever there was before, diminishes throughout this series until it’s unrecognizable in this third film. At this point, it’s impossible to understand how these plastic ideas even relate to the original Angela Hunt novel or why these stories are put in this trilogy. They could have been shoved into any Hallmark movie on the assembly line, and they probably actually were. Note From the Heart Healer is a cheesy, cliched story with basically no purpose or direction. The characters are fake and plastic, mostly due to manufactured and uninteresting dialogue. If it seems like this review has been put on repeat, it’s because Hallmark pushed repeat and replicate on this inept trilogy.
Acting Quality (1.5 points)
As previously mentioned in the other reviews, Ted McGinley is unbearable and ruins whatever cast he is in. This cast tends toward the more modern plastic cast that Hallmark favors these days, but at least they are not all bad. Emotions are inconsistent, depending on the cast member. The same can be said for line delivery, which makes this an average section.
Conclusion
Hallmark is Hallmark, plain and simple. They take an idea and run with it. Sometimes they run it into the ground and even twist it, especially if a Christian novel is in the mix. Creativity isn’t even an option as an idea is ripped off and #Hallmarked. Thus, as this trilogy thankfully comes to a close, there’s nothing else that can really be said here.
