Paixão de Outono

Throw in a busy software engineer, an ambitious small-town radio host, a fundraising Batchelor Bake-off , plus add the delicious Taylor Cole and good acting from Tyler Haynes - then it must be a Hallmark movie ! This film works well - the support acting was good, the small-town community was very close-knit, and the 2 leads were great together. This was one of Taylor Cole's best Hallmark roles and Tyler did a great job too. All in all a typical storyline but above average acting . Well done !

Hallmark writers seem to think that things like bake sales (sorry bake off) or starting a baking business on the side can solve all kinds of financial problems. At least it's an original idea to use it to save a radio station.

The acting is OK and the chemistry between the leads is OK, but neither really stands out and grabs me.

It's a pretty simple story. There are a few heartwarming moments when, as is often the case with Hallmark, the ideals of community through small time life are highly celebrated. Parts of the climax surprised me a little.

I was fully prepared to hate this movie based on the lower rating, but was pleasantly surprised. I loved it! The chemistry was natural and effortless between Cole and Hynes, and for once there was a couple of unpredictable moments...something usually not seen in typical Hallmark fare.

Taylor Cole was beautiful as always, and she is charming without even trying to be. Hynes is an unknown (to me, at least) and just like in the one other movie I've seen him in, he grew on me. Both times I couldn't understand how he was leading man status, but he really has a magnetic quality that drew me in, and I can honestly say he is probably now one of my favorite Hallmark actors. Super charismatic.

I definitely recommend watching this one, especially those of you who are suckers for sap like I am.

Hallmark stalwarts Taylor Cole and Tyler Hynes elevate already good material for a fun film, with some lovely moments and messages.

The story holds up and the leads have good chemistry - for me these are the two most important things in a Hallmark film, and those boxes get checked here.

Tyler Hynes's droll delivery always makes things better too.

A lovely Hallmark film.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and have always been a fan of Taylor Cole. To me, she's very genuine, unlike what other reviewers felt. I don't recall ever seeing Tyler Hynes in a Hallmark movie, and I thought he was believable and perfect for this part. The two had great chemistry in my opinion. Finally, Hallmark allowed a kiss go uninterrupted by a phone call, a child walking in, co-worker, etc. Well, it was interrupted at first, but they threw caution to the wind and kissed anyway. I would like Hallmark to add a little bit more physical romance to their movies, like a real relationship. The film had an interesting plot albeit, predictable but that's what I love about Hallmark. It's not as bad as the reviewers made it out to be and I've seen worse. Relax and enjoy it.
