The Note
based on a book by Angela Hunt
The Note is a charming, heart-felt tear-jerker of a tale -- part romance and part "personal journey". Genie Francis (General Hospital) plays newspaper columnist Peyton MacGruder, whose "human interest" column has come under fire from her editor for lacking "life". Given a mandate to make her column more meaningful, Peyton is also dealing with some emotional issues of her own, as well as the beginnings of a flirtatious relationship with a fellow reporter. When an airliner tragically crashes in the ocean off the coast, and Peyton comes across an unsigned farewell note in a sealed sandwich bag on the shore, she begins a quest, via clues in the note, to find the person to whom the note was addressed, writing columns about the process along the way. The story is rather predictable and schmaltzy, but its a pleasant kind of schmaltz and the characters are very likeable...you want to see things turn out well for everyone. I enjoyed this quite a lot and have no hesitation in recommending it to most viewers. -- recommended by Scott C. - Bennett Martin Public Library
