The Heiress and the Handyman

Bad hair and over the top set decoration. Maybe Hallmark should return to producing all their own movies. This one was produced by Brain Power Studios, the same production studio that also did "The Jane Mysteries". The same guy directed both and they both share the same problem. The scripts are weak and the dialogue silly but that can be forgiven if the characters are properly developed. I like Jodie Sweetin but her character is portrayed as clueless and inept. I blame the director and writer. June Waltshire is supposed to be a graduate of Oxford and yet is not aware of how her money is being managed or even how to hold a job in a coffee shop? I realize it's a movie but please stop the stereotype of clueless rich people. I might add that the ladies of the town were portrayed as snobby and a bit snarky. Another stereotype that should stop. I live in a small town and no one I know would be that rude. At least not to your face. As others mentioned, the wigs or hair extensions or whatever are horrible. Jodie Sweetin is a very attractive woman so why give her such distracting hair? Corey Sevier and the rest of the cast did fine with what they had to work with. I especially liked Ann Pirvu as the lead's sister. It's not the best movie of this type but there have been worse. Extra points for the animals. I give it a generous six.

I found it very interesting that as this movie was premiered on Hallmark another Jodie Sweetin movie debuted on "the other network" at the same time.

Over the top acting (by most), choppy storyline, bland chemistry, goofy music clips... I am not looking for Jane Austen intuitiveness when I watch Hallmark, these movies are my mental release, but I do appreciate good writing and directing - followed by believable acting.

This movie was reminiscent of an 80's sitcom, that had 1 season. I have seen an improvement in Hallmark movies of late; a little more grit, depth and reality. This movie did not make the cut.

To produce this, edit it and think it's up to par, is a major oversight. I actually like these actors, just not their performance in this particular film.

To the person saying they watched 30 mins, if you don't watch a full movie, don't rate it. You didn't give it long enough to have a fair viewpoint. I thought it was sweet, loved Gillian & the movie had vibes of Harvest Moon but less comedy. I was happy to see fall included instead of just a movie set at any time of year included as a fall into love movie (I know it's on the app, but it will be on linear soon). Corey brings his A game in anything he does, & Jodie did well, although I think there needed to be more characters included earlier on. I like the tie-in at the end that I won't spoil. I think a little more comedy would've worked better for this one, but overall it was a pleasant, wholesome watch, that I enjoyed. This was clearly an acquisition but it's a fun watch. The animals & fall vibes are the winner, so if you're in the mood for an easy lighthearted comfort watch, definitely give it a go.

I have to say I love the fall movies because there's so few of them. I was excited for this one because Jodie isn't in too many anymore and like most, I grew up with her. I'm a hallmark regular so I know what to expect. Very rarely now am I pleasantly surprised with a movie. I know what to expected, I know all the story lines and know they're just a comfort for 2 hours. This one was so boring. Absolutely nothing about this entertained me. The wig they made Jodie/June wear was AWFUL! How can you allow it to be used when it's so obviously horrible? Come on yall. I don't know if they started out hoping this would be as good as Harvest Moon from a few years ago but it didn't even compare. I had more hope..

The plot sounded promising but quickly went down hill into a way too predictable, even for Hallmark storyline. An heiress, June, played by Jodie Sweetin, loses her fortune, but inheirits a rural farm. She meets her handsome neighbor, Bart, played by Corey Sevier. Bart helps June adapt to rural farm life. A Huge DISTRACTION is the downright awful wig that Jodie Sweetin wears throughout the entire movie! The sets are horribly decorated with dollar store sunflower garland everywhere throughout the farmhouse. The plot is so predictable and supporting characters are annoying! The only reason I gave it 2 stars was for Corey Sevier, who did the best he could with the dialogue he received (I've enjoyed him in many otherHallmark movies). There is really no romance instead the storyline focuses on the heiress's transition to farm life, in other words, it's a poor rendition of Green Acres, and like the TV show, this movie also includes a pet pig.

One thing that drives me crazy about all the Hallmark movies is that they start to drag and get repetitive in the middle of the movie and then HURRIEDLY RUSHES THROUGH the final 5 MINUTES to wrap up all the loose ends to the movie! ITS VERY HURRIED AND RUSHED and feels incomplete!

A poorly written and BORING script, poorly acted (except for Corey Sevier who did a good job), AND OH THAT HORRIBLE WIG Jodie Sweetin wore that was such a DISTRACTION equals a MOVIE DISASTER! Please cast Corey Sevier in better movies please!
