Harvest Love

The leads are well matched and have a good chemistry between them. Jen Lilley has a luminous quality and very pretty eyes. She smiles a bit too much as is the case with many Hallmark movies but because she is pretty it's not too annoying. She plays a surgeon and widow who takes her young son to their family pear farm which is about to be sold. She meets a too hot for a small town fruit scientist / farmer looking after the farm played by Ryan Paevey. The farm is bucolic looking and the pears look delicious.

One of the more successfully put together Hallmark romances.

It's a Hallmark movie. Predictable plots, fine actors/actresses, and beautiful scenery. It's supposed to be a feel good movie and it definitely worked. I'm a recent widower and it's difficult for me to watch these bc my wife loved them. I'm going to admit that since she passed, the movies have become a guilty pleasure. So I guess this movie is more appealing bc of this.

The actors left so many awkward moments of silence that it made me feel uncomfortable. The main characters were very cold to each other. However, I did like the interaction between Will Nash (Ryan Paevey) and Andy. I liked Ryan Paevey in Unleashing Mr. Darcy. Jen Lilly on the other hand was disappointing. She never made eye-contact, had a fake smile on her face constantly, and never really made me feel like she was sincere. Overall, a strange movie. Can't put my finger on it but it was odd and awkward. Not a lot of love going on....

A Hallmark movie is supposed to be 'feel good.' I found this one was just that. Both leads played their parts well. I don't know what others are looking for with Hallmark. There are no explosions and car chases in these movies but they are in others that maybe they should be watching. I was skeptical because the character had a kid but the boy was very believable.

The worst thing - the performance of Jen Lilley. Wooden, fake, the smile as axis not very solide. The good thing - the pear orchard. Short, a Hallmark romance, not bad, not great, predictable, so forced in the details o story than the usual "nice" seems to much. But good option after a long , busy work day. So, the pear orchard as the good point.
