Amour versus glamour

I really loved this one - somehow have missed it for the past 5 years but am glad I caught it now! Autumn Reeser is 100% adorable - I'm not familiar with her, but really enjoyed her performance - and I always appreciate Jesse Metcalfe's movies but was happy to see him displaying new talents here. As much as I love Hallmark coming out with new movies frequently, when I see one of the older ones before they started really cranking them out I can see such a difference in quality. This movie is heartwarming, funny, entertaining, charming, just plain good! I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Typical Hallmark movie but with a great pairing in Jessie Metcalf and Autumn Reeser. Their chemistry was engaging. I've worked with Jessie and he's the sweetest guy, a talented actor and a good musician. It's great to hear him sing and play in the movie and I also wish Autumn had sung more than her short harmonizing... if it was her she had a great voice too. It's predictable what's going to happen but it's a delight to watch it unfold.

The fiance had the worst dye job ever. the person responsible should never be allowed to work on another live being ever again.

This is a great classic Hallmark country romance and Autumn Reeser is fantastic! This is the story of famous country singer Bradley who has just gotten engaged to his famous Hollywood actress girlfriend Catherine and they are planning a small private wedding in Italy, but first he is going to go home to his small town to sell his childhood home. Once Bradley gets home he connects with his childhood friend and neighbor Sarah. As Bradley slows down he starts to write music and appreciate his home and home town. He decides he wants to marry Catherine in the old barn which leads to striking a deal with Sarah. He will help her mend her fence and she will help him plan his barn wedding while Catherine is finishing the film she is working on in Hollywood. Through the planning process Sarah figures out Bradley doesn't seem to know his bride to be very well...doesn't know her favorite flower, her favorite color, what flavor cake she likes, etc. It starts to become very obvious that Sarah and Bradley are meant to be together.

Sweet sweet romantic story that I recommend to all the romantics out there.

Although this is a 2015 Hallmark TV movie, it just recently came into my local library in the DVD format.

The film is as schmaltzy and predictable as can be, and makes no apologies for it. So if you want to get away for a while from the violence and explicitness of so many of today's movies, then the escape into this feel-good sugary sweet fantasy may be just what the doctor ordered.
