Peyton MacGruder (Daytime Emmy award winner Genie Francis - TV's General Hospital) finds herself walking the beach after disheartening news comes to her twofold, first that she may lose her job because of a lack of readership, and second from the news that a plane had just crashed offshore. While near some rocks, Peyton notices a small piece from a floatation device, and when she picks it up, she finds a small plastic zipper-bag that contained a single piece of paper - a note from a father to his child - simply addressed to "T."
The movie continues with Peyton confiding in her friend and co-worker (Ted McGinley - TV's Hope & Faith) over the note, and this begins her quest to not only find the rightful owner, but also to resurrect her failing column in the process. As she finds and talks with the people she believes The Note may belong to, she realizes that this note is having a profound impact on not only everyone that she talks to, but also within herself. There are heartwarming stories of life and death read between the lines of The Note, and by the end, Peyton too reveals her life story.
The Note truly is a great, feel-good, family movie that all will enjoy. The film is not rated, but don't let that scare you away from allowing the whole family to watch it because the lack of a rating is simply due to the fact that this movie was originally aired on TV. The acting and writing in this title are pretty good, especially considering the low-budget nature of such films, and there is nothing in The Note that you will need to shield the eyes or ears of your children. I highly recommend The Note, and I guarantee that you too will feel a warm fuzzy in the end.
