L'Aventure à deux

I liked this movie a lot, especially the plot. It was different from the previous one because there was less comedy for one thing but there was a bit of character development. It is easy to fall in love but it is challenging to nurture a relationship when there are conflicting interests. Honesty and communication are keys to a healthy relationship. This movie portrays exactly that.

Chabert and Elliott together again.

Plot Couple renovate a house together (and yes Hallmark, we did notice that it is a different house) they almost loose the house Brian returns to Wall Street to keep them financially afloat until they can get the Inn up and running successfully. Jenny worries that Brian may be falling for the lure of Wall Street again and may be tiring of their small town/country life.

Different house, different goats, we can deal with that.

Seriously, it is a very good movie and well worth watching Chabert and Elliott always shine together, the perfect movie couple.

My advice: Good family film, watch it together.

When I lived in New Hampshire, our neighbor did all the investing for a millionaire- one client.

He built a very small barn in his side yard and filled that barn with electronics.

Every weekday, he would kiss his wife and proceed to side yard to his home office. He spent the day being a stockbroker and at the end of the day his commute required him to cross the side lawn.

I think about them a lot during this movie, and the conflict of the movie seems so silly.

Still, I find the movie very sweet and endearing. Who doesn't like a movie with baby goats. Bucks county doesn't seem so special, but I have never been there, so pay me no mind on that one.

If you're going to make a trilogy you should make sure that there is continuity. The first movie was charming and I was looking forward to the next in the series. I just had trouble getting past the house and the goats! The first house was very pretty and they painted it green. It looked like a perfect B & B. The one in the second movie is an ordinary house and it's white and blue. Enter the goats. They're a significant part of the story and they look completely different from the ones in the first movie and yet they're supposed to be the same goats. The mama goat was white and cream and the kids were pure white. In the second they're all black and white. It's very annoying. The kitchen that they worked on so much in the first one is totally different. If they couldn't get the same place they should've at least tried to make it look the same. I wonder what we will get in the third movie. I'll find out today because I still love the stories and cast, just wish they'd pay more attention to the details.

I love Lacey Chabert, so if I'm putting down a Hallmark movie with her in it, then it must be bad. This probably didn't deserve the stars I gave it.

There is nothing new in this movie. It is practically the same old stuff as the first one, and much less well done. Scenes with Lacey and Brennen seemed rushed. No chemistry this time. Lara Gilchrist was either doe-eyed or tough witch. Vincent Gale was cliché. Other supporting actors tried.

As far as story, at least they got Jenny's side business out of that tiny B&B kitchen into something a little more commercial. On the only plus side I can think of, several little side romances sprung up.

Like my summary says: If you are going to do a sequel of a much loved movie, don't just do a rehash but give it a life of it's own.
