Harvest Moon - Vollmond im September

Beautifully executed script. My only complaint was that Jackie Bissett's accent was not explained and, as in the case of another watcher, I agreed 100% that whereas Eric Mabius was perfect in his role and totally comfortable in his/John's character being in love with an older woman, even to the end of the film, Jackie B. (who had plenty of experience in this situation as in "Rich and Famous") did not seem comfortable in return. This, beyond the fact that her character had been fleetingly in love with John's father over 25 years before. This was a beautiful story and I will seek out the book by Kinnon. Embarrassed to say that since I am in the same place now that Maggie was in the film, I teared through the entire film. Eric Mabius' powerful and perfect performance is in part responsible for my high grade. He was able to continue his character's persona created by another actor as his father giving the same passionate human flavor that a son would have who was very like his father. Beautiful!

Jacky Bisset did her best and I enjoyed her performance very much. However, TV movies are just what they are: boring pulp. Just pass this one by. The script was pretty poor too. Why on earth would a young boy blow his life by marring a 50-something woman? Most of the woman complaints I hear are that the guys won't even commit to a woman their own age!!!

I was so excited when I saw that the book "Dancing at the Harvest Moon" was being made for tv. When I first read the book I immediately loved it. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the tv version. The people who made it just couldn't capture the greatness of the book. If you even remotely liked the tv movie...Read the book it's a million times better.

Quite an enjoyable film, showing that some young men are mature and smart enough to fall in love with an "older" woman. I really enjoyed the pretense, but felt that Jacqueline must have been as much uncomfortable with embracing and kissing Eric as her character, Maggie was. Eric, on the other hand, seemed to have no problems at all with the chemistry that he was portraying towards Maggie, as John. Some of you who think this type of story is fantasy should read what Andy Rooney has said about relationships with "older" women. ;-) Sure hope to see much more of Eric Mabius in the very near future!!!! Wouldn't mind seeing him at my front door either!

a pink movie like too many others. clichés, same rules of an impossible love story, links with the past and the second youth. few drops of drama and a good actress as axis of a mediocre story. so, the good thing is the conclusion after its end. because, obvious, it is not so bad. decent solutions of script for few confuse details and the desire of Jaquelline Bisset to use each possibility of credibility for her character are the good points. the bad thing could be Eric Mabius who is real uncomfortable in a role who pretend not very much from his actor. but the result is OK , in part because it is the expected one. nothing surprises. few beautiful scenes. and a nice film about the second chance and the true love.
