Um Casamento com Meu Ex

7.2 stars.

"A Harvest Wedding" is lacking something, where is the oomph? A wedding planner named Sarah (Wagner) who currently lives in New City, is planning the wedding for the brother of an ex-boyfriend she hasn't seen in 15 years. David (Webster) the ex-boyfriend is a farmer and the wedding will take place on his farm in Pennsylvania. The weeks leading up to the wedding have run amok.

This movie has cookie cutter written all over it, however it was released in 2017, so maybe it wasn't so unoriginal back then. The most positive aspect is that the wedding ceremony is simple and elegant. Also favorable is the cinematography and music. I was impressed by the very end, make sure you see the last 30 seconds, it's quite amazing.

The chemistry was a bit off, and I am astounded at the audacity of it. Both of these actors rarely fail in the chemistry department, but for some strange reason they weren't on the same page. After all the similar Hallmark films I've watched, why did this one fall short? I was expecting at least average, but Miss Wagner is hit and miss and I perish the thought. It's probably not her fault.

After 3 duds, Hallmark's Fall Harvest got one right.

The story was almost believable, except for the very end which was off-the-scale unbelievable, but funny and cute. Yes it was sappy, but the story managed to keep us interested with some drama and small surprises here and there.

Jill Wagner and Victor Webster, two veterans for Hallmark, were good together. Wagner did a nice job keeping Sarah fairly grounded despite many stressful situations both in her job and personal life. Wagner managed to stay the romantic focus of the movie despite two other gorgeous ladies in the story, the bride and her assistant.

I had ice cream, I was lonely, it was good enough.

I saw it on the exact day it premiered. That doesn't happen often, but I like when it does. And I'm also the first to submit a review, nice! Well, they say this takes place for the most part in Massachusettes, however, IMDb page says it was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Well, obviously there were some New York City shots as well. I think IMDb missed something in terms of where it was actually shot. I do believe most of it was probably in Canada. I haven't seen those colors anywhere last year or this year in Vermont and we are pretty close to Canada though. The fall colors definitely popped in this film and that was cool. But Williamstown, Massachusettes? Yes, there is such a place and it is located in the Northwest part of Mass, which is actually real close to the southwest portion of Vermont. So yes, possibly some harvesting areas are there. I was trying to picture it in my mind, but then I took the satellite view of Williamstown to see what kind of farming could be going on there, but it's inconclusive at best. Yes, filming location was suspect. Yes, they showed a street sign welcoming people to Williamstown, so maybe some of it was filmed there as well. Anyway, well worth at least one viewing. Solid 6 Stars from me!

Sarah ends up back in her Virginian farming hometown at the farm of her childhood sweetheart, David, planning the wedding for his younger brother Tom and his bride-to-be Abby.

It's a large working organic farm in the middle of their fall harvest...and the wedding is in under a month, to add an additional stressor, Sarah is having a wedding magazine article written about her that might make the cover.

I really love Jill Wagner and Victor Webster, their acting is so effortless and natural. I enjoy the banter and really believe they could be a real-life couple.

Misunderstandings abound but this rustic second chance romance is worth seeing for romantics out there who enjoy a simple Hallmark Romance. Kudos to the writers there is a lot of true to life dialogue...like when the father is ecstatic to have his daughter home and says, "Just because you haven't been here in awhile doesn't mean this isn't still your home.", a sentiment my own father has expressed to me more than once.

I also thought it was a nice touch to win over the debutant mom with a pair of boots and a quote from Marilyn "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world."
