Harvest Love

It's a Hallmark movie. Predictable plots, fine actors/actresses, and beautiful scenery. It's supposed to be a feel good movie and it definitely worked. I'm a recent widower and it's difficult for me to watch these bc my wife loved them. I'm going to admit that since she passed, the movies have become a guilty pleasure. So I guess this movie is more appealing bc of this.

The worst thing - the performance of Jen Lilley. Wooden, fake, the smile as axis not very solide. The good thing - the pear orchard. Short, a Hallmark romance, not bad, not great, predictable, so forced in the details o story than the usual "nice" seems to much. But good option after a long , busy work day. So, the pear orchard as the good point.

Did I buy the lead character as a surgeon? No. Why was the kid always tired?

If you can put these elements aside you'll find a fun Hallmark film. The story holds up, the leads have chemistry - those are two big boxes ticked off that make or break this type of film.

It's very much built in the Hallmark formula, but there are enough lovely moments here to make this a pleasant way to spend an afternoon's viewing.

The actors left so many awkward moments of silence that it made me feel uncomfortable. The main characters were very cold to each other. However, I did like the interaction between Will Nash (Ryan Paevey) and Andy. I liked Ryan Paevey in Unleashing Mr. Darcy. Jen Lilly on the other hand was disappointing. She never made eye-contact, had a fake smile on her face constantly, and never really made me feel like she was sincere. Overall, a strange movie. Can't put my finger on it but it was odd and awkward. Not a lot of love going on....

My husband and I enjoy Hallmark movies, especially during the fall and winter holiday seasons. Both of the lead actors have starred in General Hospital (Ryan Peavy still does), and I was looking forward to seeing them in this movie. The plot was very thin and the acting was very bland. There wasn't much chemistry between them. There have been other Hallmark movies with the same theme about saving the family farm, so this one needed some pizazz to make it fresh, but sadly there was none. The only thing that was different was the fruit. Jen Lilley smiled way too much for my taste. She seemed more like a love-struck teenager than an accomplished surgeon. She is very pretty and has big beautiful eyes, but after awhile it was very annoying seeing her doe-eyed smile in every scene.
