Croquer la pomme d'amour

This movie was your typical Hallmark fare. The thing that irritated me, and it's kind of petty, was that Megan was fixing "healthy" food for her father. He was healing up from a broken ankle and all she fixed that poor guy was salads. The man needs protein and he kept asking for meat. She in turn kept saying that while she was taking care of him he would be eating healthy. I agree, salads are healthy, but a moderate amount of meat is too. I think the writer was a vegetarian.... totally ridiculous. He would never get his strength back just eating greens.

As a fan of this genre for reasons I can never fully explain I have enjoy these movies. I think fall harvest 2017 has been below average and dull. This is an exception to that rule.

This is a good movie not only for halmark, but for TV in general. It has nuance (never a Halmark strong point), heart, and a little drama. While adhering to the halmark formula it hides the ball well enough to give a little suspense. I have to say I did not fully love the ending, too easy and convenient and everyone gets everything, and it really did not have funny or light moments but all and all it was a good movie.

Hopefully this will be a prelude to a great season of Christmas movies, Halmark, your fans are waiting.

We have a Fall Harvest 2017 favorite. Well done Hallmark. Don't get me wrong, this movie is still the formula we all know: girl from the country currently living in a big town has to come back home and runs into ex, yet above average. This one made me remember why I love these movies.

After the not-so-good movies Hallmark has been delivering I started this without much enthusiasm (Let's be real, Andrew W. Walker was the reason) and I'm glad I watched it.

I'm not gonna lie: Sarah Jane Morris and Andrew made me feel things, okay? After more than a decade their characters meet again and they start spending time together and reconnecting. Megan also gets to know Joe's daughter Lily who is adorable. All of this, of course, happens during that Fall Festival of that small town.

Megan had a boyfriend in the movie (and let me tell it's an actor that always plays THAT character we all dislike) and for once i'm glad that he is not the self-centered guy we are used to see. So points for that. Another aspect that surprised me were the flashbacks! I've only seen this element on 2 or 3 movies and they were always one or two but we get to see a few moments of their time together and I loved it!

The story/plot made sense. The characters were great. And the combination of Andrew, someone we already know, and Sarah, that we don't, was great.

A must watch.

I thought this was a better than average Hallmark film, with some lovely points made about 1st love, change and staying true to your beliefs.

The boyfriend character was quite annoying and full of himself, so that only made me root for the woman's childhood flame more.

Overall, lovely stuff. Yes, these films follow a formula, but they certainly are enjoyable.

...and sweet and charming and lovely and touching. As many others Hallmark films. Illustration of old romantic recipe, it is the classic love story and repair of the past error. Like each film of its genre, it has a gift , saving a part of predictable story. In this case, the gift is the performance of Dolores Drake who propose a more than inspired Frances Figgins . Short, a well known end and a nice love story.
