Candles on Bay Street 2006

     This film is based on a 1999 book by K.C. McKinnon.  Sam and Lydia are the small town’s veterinarians with a busy practice both with pets and farm animals.  DeeDee, Sam’s former best friend and girlfriend returns to town after 13 years away.  She has an 11-year-old son, Trooper.  Lydia wants to size up her possible competition so she invites them to dinner.  DeeDee is going to set up a candle making shop on Bay Street in town.  Through the candle parties, DeeDee becomes part of the town again, a friend to Lydia and many others. 

     Warning, a real Hallmark movie!!  This enjoyable with small town values and a nice story set in Maine.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

120 min, Drama directed by John Erman with Alicia Silverstone, Eion Bailey, Polly Bergen, Matthew Knight, James Rebhorn, Annabeth Gish.
