Les Racines de l'amour

Agree Ashley Williams can be OTT.

This spoils the movie somewhat but she does settle down a bit towards the end.

I noticed she was an executive producer so maybe the director was a bit hamstrung in controlling her overacting Thank goodness for Trevor Donovan as a stabilising force.

The plot was a little un Hallmark like but did have a bit more substance than their normal offering.

More like this would be a good move for Hallmark?

Had to smile at the park's war memorial.

Supposedly set in the USA the dates on it were 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.

I think the USA was involved a little later than this in both cases.

So obviously Canadian location.

Very Cute movie! I like reading the other reviews to see if anyone saw the same glaring problems that I did. But no, most reviewers talked about Ashley Williams over acting and her Cheshire Cat grin. I personally like her. Her bubbling over happiness and over the top attitude is infectious.

One reviewer compared this to "Parks and Recreation". Ashley Williams to another outspoken blonde (Amy Poehler) Ashley Williams name was even Amy- only spelled different- as a possible nod to Amy Poehler? I thought that was a very creative review. Probably spot on.

The glaring problems I saw, and dismissed (because this is Hallmark, for heavens sake and not to be taken seriously.) But in one scene she says they would be holding the fall event 'next week'. How did they get all those pipes rearranged above ground and painted, in one week? And wouldn't that expose the pipes to all sorts of harm? Freezing, or vandalism? Hallmark is pie in the sky- escapism. Period.

But I really liked this movie, because of Ashley Williams, and Trevor Donovan. His quiet ways complimented her boisterous ways. Marilu Henner was perfect in every way.

I enjoyed the storyline and most of the characters except for the lead actress. Ashley Williams is probably my least favorite Hallmark actress. She's far too chipper and her gigantic smile seems so fake. Despite my dislike of her, the movie still pulled together well.

Love on a Limb wasn't the best movie, but it wasn't worth the sub 5 ratings, but everyone views things through different optics.

As usual Trevor Danovan was great, he makes anyone good. Marilu Henner, wow!, Ashley Williams doesn't deserve the harsh remarks.

The tree that was the focus of this movie...WOW, now that was some kind of tree.

Would I view this movie again?, probably not. I'm glad we saw it though. Check it out.

Marilu Henner's portrayal of a mother caught between protectiveness of her daughter and living with her own loss, was intriguing. Ashley Williams as the daughter is convincing as a do-gooder tilting at windmills to run from her own pain. Also, the intertwining relationships of a small town are fun to watch.
