The Miracle of the Cards (2001)
lovely feel-good film, BUT...
2 July 2006 - 4 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
[1] apart from Thomas Sangster (of "Love Actually" fame), the American actors' "English" accents are appalling.
[2] the acting is so wooden.
[3] the "English" scenery (especially local church and "Royal Marsden" exteriors) is so American!
[4] the general 'direction' is so amateurish, and obviously "Made-for-US-TV".
It's a shame, as the story is real, and inspiring.
So why is it that US directors/actors all think that everyone in England speaks with a plum stuck in their cheek?
We don't!
And why use US actors and US sets but a UK boy in a UK story?
