Love, Fall & Order

At least this one doesn't tread totally familiar ground. Plus the combination of the cast is good. Erin Cahill and Trevor Donovan lead as two former competitors in high school who reunite in small town on opposite sides of a property dispute. The pre ending drama at least isn't contrived as usual. It's actually a pivotal part of the story. The filming looks nicer than usual. Well done.

What a fun movie. The leads had great chemistry. The best friends were fun also, and Gregory Harrison is always a plus. It was nice that even though the characters were competitive they were also likeable. Kudos to Erin and Trevor for a pleasant and nicely acted Hallmark movie.

7.4 stars.

How many of these films do they change the titles on? Can't they stick with a movie name and just not budge for once? Anywho, we have a woman visiting her hometown and her father's farm only to find out there is a land dispute in the works between an old "flame" and his aunty and her dad's farm which are right next to each other. He stumbles on an old deed, appears to show something different, she disagrees, of course they are both lawyers, I mean it wouldn't be Hallmark if there wasn't a crazy coincidence... They fight for land, they are way too agreeable with each other... In the real world there would be bickering and underhanded backstabbing at every turn, mark my words. Funny how Hallmark makes these relationship so easy going, breakups are smooth, deadly rivalries are resolved by a smile and a handshake, and even with them kissing at the end. Nah.

This movie follows the typical Hallmark formula, which is fine. The two main actors aren't the best that Hallmark offers, but they're not bad, either. They're also fine. What isn't fine is the ageism in this movie. Treating elderly characters like they're slow and tech-stupid is unacceptable. The condescension displayed in this movie is appalling! I'm not a senior, but I've seen many who are more tech savvy than people half their age. Hallmark can and should be treating their watchers much better than this. Especially since senior citizens definitely are part of their target audience!

It was good to see two different faces, new plot (I felt that some legal things were odd, but I'm no lawyer), and very colorful scenes. I really like when the two leads share a past, it seems more realistic. While I really liked it, probably won't watch again. Lovely movie.
