Café do Amor

As a fan of this genre for reasons I can never fully explain I have enjoy these movies. I think fall harvest 2017 has been below average and dull. This is an exception to that rule.

This is a good movie not only for halmark, but for TV in general. It has nuance (never a Halmark strong point), heart, and a little drama. While adhering to the halmark formula it hides the ball well enough to give a little suspense. I have to say I did not fully love the ending, too easy and convenient and everyone gets everything, and it really did not have funny or light moments but all and all it was a good movie.

Hopefully this will be a prelude to a great season of Christmas movies, Halmark, your fans are waiting.

...and sweet and charming and lovely and touching. As many others Hallmark films. Illustration of old romantic recipe, it is the classic love story and repair of the past error. Like each film of its genre, it has a gift , saving a part of predictable story. In this case, the gift is the performance of Dolores Drake who propose a more than inspired Frances Figgins . Short, a well known end and a nice love story.

I scored it quite highly for how good it is because it's right up my street. The kind of movie where nothing 'really' bad happens and they are all happy at the end. It warms my heart and makes me smile. It is a hallmark movie, so you either love them or you think they're cringy!

Fun from start to end. Andrew Walker delivers the charm. The film is bright with colors and life, upbeat, wholesome and makes you feel good. Most films can not do that so this is one of the best.

This is the third dud, I believe in as many weeks, in Hallmark's Harvest Fest premieres. This does not bode well for future Hallmark Saturday nights. I only hope they put most of their concentration, quality-wise, into Countdown to Christmas.

Megan has a yes sir personality and her boss makes a totally unreasonable demand that she bail him out in 3 days for what he couldn't do in who knows how much time. She should have stood up to him and told him so because clearly whether she succeeded or not, she wasn't going to like it there. But she goes home intent to do his will and immediately starts saying yes to virtually everyone who asked for anything, most of which diverted her from her most important task. At times she didn't even seem to care that she had a deadline as she sat around in a waitress outfit chatting with the other waitress. Apparently she didn't even notice that her firms design destroyed the beautiful landscape it was building on. Megan had a good heart but was a total wimp. Basically the entire setup for this story was horrible, even worse than most romance movies which we expect and allow to have some unrealistic aspects.

Poor Andrew Walker. He was good. He tried to have chemistry with Sarah Morris and did to some degree. I frankly didn't notice whether Morris' acting was any good because I so much disrespected her character.

Of course the ending is totally unrealistic too, but it would be spoilers to discuss what I hated about it.
