For Love & Honey

Thought the story was different enough to warrant an A for effort. I liked both leads and don't understand some of the negative reviews for the female lead. She's so much better than a lot of the cookie cutter actresses in these movies. I also thought the chemistry was really good. She doesn't play the lead the way they are typically played, and I found that refreshing. She has some bite in her character and while some found that off-putting, I found it engaging. I wasn't crazy about the whole bee side story and wish it had more of the adventure slant it teased at. The locations are also wonderful to look at.

American professor of archaeology meets a beekeeper on Malta. Who would've guessed archaeologists and beekeepers had so much in common. Except, he doesn't like honey and he's allergic to bees.

There is a treasure map (no, he's not Indiana Jones) and there is a treasure hunt...

I do wonder why Hallmark movies are now putting the first kiss at the one hour point instead of at the end of the movie, but that's probably my personal issue....

This young couple "plays" Indiana Jones and "Indiana Jane". Honeybees are the center of this movie and are parts of all of the clues, so pay attention.

It's Hallmark, so it's the predictable formula; you know they'll be a happy ending.

I suppose , two virtues define this film - the landscapes and the stories first. Second - the younger sister , more careful- inspired crafted.

The sins - the fresco who seems fake from first sight and the few forced scenes and dialogues.

A good, generous idea and, like many other films from same source, essencial remains the publicity for Malta. Sure, familiar romance recipe, so, no expectations and Andrew W. Walker as the familiar- comfortable presence represents one of good points of film. The eulogy of honey is an useful nuance for a story seductive for the effort to save it from supporting cast.

I thought this movie was as romantic as most hallmark movies starring Andrew Walker. He was really fit in this movie. Wow. He's always sweet and adorable. Cute smile. He has chemistry with most Hallmark actresses. He kisses not just smooches. Which is fun. There was definitely a spark when Austen took the Eva's hand and gently pulled her to take that evening stroll. I loved that this was filmed in Malta. Such beautiful scenery. I thought the adventure they went on was quite interesting and exciting at times. Bees 🐝 don't just make honey. They pollinate and without them humankind could not prosper and would come to an end. I didn't like honey til I went to a booth at a festival and tried some. Being in Az there was red chilis in my favorite. I watch Hallmark for the actors I have grown to care for and the romance. The movies of course have plots but they are changing from main characters moving from the city to small towns and to being filmed in unique locations. Andrew Walker is loyal to Hallmark unlike some stars who have left cause they are bothered by diversity. Shame on them.

This sadly is a disappointing review with a disappointing rating. Andrew Walker is one of the finest....maybe the finest actor ....on the Hallmark roster. He easily could make a PSA deserve a rating of 7 just on his own acting abilities. Virtually in every movie he has starred in....at some point....he makes you feel something. Especially in a Hallmark movie, somewhere you should feel something...be touched by something.......but not this time....not this movie. Throughout the entire movie, there was more time spent on bee stories with almost nothing spent on the human relationships. In this movie, there was nothing to be felt by the viewers. They never got us to feel...be touched....even care about their story. This movie was more like some primer or a PSA on bees and their place in the ecology....completely devoid of all human emotions. Unfortunately, even Andrew Walker couldn't bring a good rating to this PSA. Hallmark wasted his talents...and the location of Malta.
