Every Second Counts
Family, Drama
Nominated for Best DGC MOW
Like a country tune filled with the usual cliches, Hallmark Channel’s “Every Second Counts” has everything but the cheating dog driving away in a stolen pickup truck — and yet it still comes off as a heartfelt, entertaining family movie. In fact, it’s downright refreshing to see a film that isn’t some Technicolor teen fantasy. “Every Second Counts” has neither the promotional machine of Disney nor the cool factor of Nickelodeon, but as far as family dramas go, this is a summer gem.
