Avis à la une
The scenery in this movie was beautiful! I watched it from the viewpoint of the grandfather because I'm more of that age. I must say that I sympathized with him. It's tough when you get to a point in your life when you have to think about giving up your home, your business, your life that you've had. It's also tough having to admit you can't do all the things you used to without some help. So it made me a little emotional. But like every Hallmark movie, it had a happy ending. I hope to be able to visit a place like pumpkin everything someday. It really bought the feel of fall into the my living room.
Hallmark gives us this story of a successful Philadelphia writer who returns to her hometown for a visit when her grandfather suffers an injury. She is pleasantly surprised that many of the traditions continue, and she also reconnects with the best friend she left behind years ago.
Taylor Cole plays the main character, Amy, who discovers that her former friend Kit (Corey Sevier) now works in her grandfather's store. There is little to no chemistry between them at first, and the story meanders between various of Amy's interests and concerns, including her job, which has impending responsibilities. But the narrative picks up, and the final minutes of the film are totally engaging.
One of the best aspects of the film is the depiction of the autumnal colors of nature. You can practically smell the season and the pumpkin spice flavorings of everything. It is very immersive.

I want to correct those who mentioned that the Grandfather was being urged to go into Assisted Living.
I went through this situation with my father 9 years ago and he was just as stubborn and resistant. What finally worked was asking him leading questions and honoring his opinions. I asked him, "What is your main barrier to moving?" My mother's health was failing and she really wanted to move to Independent Living (in a CCRC setting - Continuing Care Retirement Community). We finally convinced him to move to the Independent Apartment that they currently live in and they both love it. They have met many friends and are very active with classes, zoom meetings, etc. (Aged 91 and 88 years). Most all of their health care is on-site.
The idea that when one is old that Assisted Living is the only option is very dated. CCRC's are designed for Active Seniors. Assisted Living is an option as is Skilled Nursing . . . If needed at all.
Overall, I felt the movie could have been better. The chemistry between the two leads was lacking and the pace of the movie was a bit slow.

I love the three leads (Ashley Cole, Corey Siever and the always wonderful Michael Ironside) but was disappointed to see Michael Ironside cast as an 'old person' as opposed to someone who happens to be older. He is a well-respected actor and I remember him from years ago, usually as a bit of a 'hard man'.
He was patronised by Ashley Cole's character who wanted to decide his life for him and relegate him to a 'waiting for God' retirement facility instead of respecting his right to choose how he wanted to live.
I didn't watch to the end of the film, such was my disappointment at the way Ironside was cast. He can be, and should be, used to better effect!
Not a good message to send!

Amy (Taylor Cole) is a widely published author of vampire novels. Grandpa (Ironside) owns a store called Pumpkin Everything, and he thinks her novels are trashy. Kit (Corey Sevier) works at the store. The name of the town is Autumnboro? Cheesy.
After many years Amy comes back to town and sees that Grandpa and Kit are close friends, and is immediately blindsided by Kit's handsome face, and plaid shirt. She remembers him looking different when they were young, obviously not as ruggedly appealing back then...
Grandpa's house is messy, things are strewn about, there is a carton of warm milk sitting on the table without a lid. Grandpa's life is messy, he's old and can't keep up. Kit lives in Grandpa's guest house...vavavoom.
Amy has abandoned everyone important in her life when she left town years ago, and she just now realizes it. What must she do? Vampire girl helps Grandpa, makes amends with mom, and falls in love with country boy. Grandpa realizes he aint getting younger...
This movie is drab, place it in the dreadful Hallmark pile.
