Falling for You

Throw in a busy software engineer, an ambitious small-town radio host, a fundraising Batchelor Bake-off , plus add the delicious Taylor Cole and good acting from Tyler Haynes - then it must be a Hallmark movie ! This film works well - the support acting was good, the small-town community was very close-knit, and the 2 leads were great together. This was one of Taylor Cole's best Hallmark roles and Tyler did a great job too. All in all a typical storyline but above average acting . Well done !

I was never a fan of Taylor Cole, but in this one, playing against type, I quite liked her. For one thing, and I realize this sounds very shallow, her hair has gone out and got itself a makeover. It used to be thin and lank to the point it was quite distracting. At least the style she chose made it seem that way. In this one, it has some body and natural flow and her beauty is undiminished by her "crowning glory." Tyler Hynes has always been a favorite and the two have quite a bit of chemistry.

Unfortunately the bake sale plot is a bore. An extra star for having the heroine move out of the small town she loves to pursue her career dream. What a concept usually foreign to the usual Hallmark ethos!

Relax people, this is a romance and it's Hallmark... it's what they do! I actually found this movie to be one of the more enjoyable ones. There are small towns like this one portrayed in real life, my hometown is small and has lots of "small town" festivities throughout the year! I thought the lead actors had really good chemistry together. I enjoyed the plot in regards to "chasing your dreams" or "stay and play it safe"... In my opinion, I did not care for the supporting characters, perhaps because there really wasn't any story development for them and the acting was fair. All in all, I enjoyed it! The male lead, Tyler Hynes reminds me of an actor of my generation, I'm 54 but I just cannot recall. He definitely has some "swagger" lol ... in a good way, he's handsome. Good job to all.

Hallmark TV movies are edited and written to fit into a 2 hour time period, including commercials; that is really the problem here - there is too little story, so it moves at such a plodding pace. I've seen Taylor Cole and others in the cast in a variety of Hallmark movies, and they are fine, they are good actors stuck in a very relaxed screenplay, with direction that gives the impression they're reading off teleprompters. Check out the cast resumes on the Hallmark website and I would suggest you use them as a reference to some of the good work they've been in.

Contrary to other reviews, I loved the Taylor~Tyler combination. I felt they played off each other well at just the right pace. And small town stories are my favorites. A comfortable movie for a rainy day.
