I recently tried to watch a when calls the heart movie without having seen the show. this was worse. the family is massively dysfunctional. the movie starts with an argument and doesn't go more than two minutes without at least one more. not only is there drama within the family (more what you'd expect from dallas than hallmark), but there are multiple tangled plot lines including the whole town. there is no introduction to the characters that isn't drama free making all of them unlikeable from the start and they don't get better in the first half. i stopped watching.
