Una dulce sorpresa

Wonderful! Not often you see such a wonderful flirt with the romantic comedies of the 50's. Excellent actors and a nice story.

This did not disappoint! I watch a lot of Hallmarks movies and this was extra good to me. I like Dylan Neal, a lot! Sure, in Cedar Cove, or whatever its called, I like that even more, but this is a Hallmark movie and it was everything I've come to expect. It must to hard to create new storylines and bring in new faces, when the tried and true are so likable. When I turn to Hallmark, I already know how it's going to end but I can't always see how we get there. It's comforting and takes me away from the real world that is, often, not so pleasant. Thank you Hallmark, writers and actors alike. It's like one big happy family!

I'm not a Hallmark regular. Fairly new actually. I do love baking or cooking novels and movies. This did not disappoint with usual Hallmark expectations. The main actors were great at not OVER cheesing it like usual. The story was pretty close to the book. I really did enjoy the cute story and loved seeing a bit more diversity in the main co-stars friends at least this time.

This is another great movie. In my review of "Love, Of Course", I mentioned that the music was either the 1st or 2nd best out of every Hallmark movie. The music in Truly, Madly, Sweetly is what I was comparing it to. The music in the movie is great, and the plot is very good. This movie is my second favorite Fall Harvest Movie. Dylan Neal and Nikki DeLoach put on great performances.

Fall Harvest Movies ranking order (subject to change):

1. Love, Of Course 2. Truly, Madly, Sweetly 3. Falling For You

All of the above movies are great. Recommended!

What sets apart a good Hallmark movie from a pleasant so-so film , is the chemistry between the 2 leads. If you don't get that right then the film can flounder into being just a clichéd corny drama. Nikki Deloach & Dylan Neal are good actors and their dialogue is sparky, but there's little romantic connection between them. Maybe it's me but Dylan looks a lot older than Nikki (in real life there's a 10 year age gap) . The story had merit, about them inheriting his Aunt's bakery & transforming it into a cupcake bakery and all the hurdles, financial and otherwise that enter their path. Most Hallmark aficionados will like the film and it moves along well - just not much romance in the air !
