An Easter Bloom

Amada and her mom are about to lose their flower farm after a rough winter, so it occurs to her that she can get into a flower arrangement contest and win usd 20 000 to save said farm. So she meets Lori, flower expert and also mom to Derrick, the brand new pastor in town.

This story is about grief and finding hope again. And while it can be heartwarming for some it may be sad for others. Personally, I liked the story but going through grief myself it reached me in some way that I prefer a Hallmark movie doesn't since these movies tend to be a happy place to me. I like them funnier and happier, and preferably, religion as a side theme.

I enjoyed this movie but could not give it a high rating. Same old same old plot of misunderstanding The two leads are very good , nice chemistry and believable. It was a little slow to develop and the ending was a little predictable but overall a cute movie. I do feel here again Hallmark writers could have done do much more. Excellent cast beautiful scenery and not enough substance. There was very little development of the CB cast and could have done more with the two leads. I hope Hallmark can get out of theses predictable plots because they are wasting good acting and not developing their cast parts. There are no spoilers but than again it's the same old story.

I am so happy that Dayspring has teamed up with Hallmark! I loved the message behind this movie. It was perfectly spring filled while also having a deeper message of love and forgiveness and renewal. I loved that each of the characters had to grow and change-it wasn't just the main character struggling while everyone else had the perfect life. I loved the pastor's story and how he even opened up about making mistakes and growing from them.

The only complaint I would have is the pastor sometimes had a southern accent and sometimes didn't. Other than that it was the perfect Easter movie, just beautiful.

First of all, I want to say that there's nothing wrong with a cheesy Hallmark movie. I usually love them, but this one had a lot of problems. First of all, the characters have very little personality and no chemistry, so I never got into it. Second of all, I couldn't get past the male character's fake southern accent. It was very rough and the fact that he only launched into it occasionally made it worse. The worst part was that he usually launched into it while being preachy, like a cheesy fake preacher. I am a believer and it was too much for me to stomach. It just didn't feel genuine at all & I didn't finish the movie. It's strange because I feel like he's done a good job in some other roles. Maybe it's just how he envisioned a southern pastor or something. Regardless, it just didn't hit the mark for me.

Wow! This story gave honor to God!

Thank you Hallmark for sharing this amazing movie for our celebration of Easter! In so many ways, all throughout the story, this movie gave glory and honor to God. There were several different people who were dealing with personal struggles and difficult situations. As the story progressed, each of these people found peace and hope and love for their present and future times.

Please continue to make movies like this for those of us who have faith and love for God. It was fun to watch the stories unfold and the troubles turn to happy endings! And thank you to all the cast and crew for making this great story come to life!
