Un associé à croquer

I'll start by saying I love the cast here but, yet again, the male lead character starts out being so arrogant, unlikable and distasteful, he can't earn enough redemption by the end to make "romance" with the female lead feel heartwarming. Not enough chemistry between them to pull it off.

Writers need to stop being so extreme with the arc of the characters, extreme is not better, it's just extreme.

The set decorations & fall atmosphere,was chosen well. Lately things been,lacking or felt misplaced in Hallmark movies.. Was a refreshing change! The casting,script & lead actors was nicely done. Something worth checking out,will also rewatch in the future.

OK. I decided to start to add my reviews. I enjoy some of the Hallmark movies since they are feel good movies to contrast with the ever increasing dismal dark movies on the movie scene. We need more positive depictions of humanity, family, friends, and romance, which is Hallmark's aim. Too many of the Hallmark movies are not well done, and I don't bother with them. This is one that is worth watching. I hope that Hallmark takes note of these reviews and continue to improve their movie lines with more varied themes and romantic scenarios. I like both Nikki and Andrew and this movie was great with these two leads. Yes, some of it was the basic Hallmark plot, with some good different twists to make it interesting enough to watch, as well as good supporting actors. Hallmarks should pay more attention to the makeup of the actors ... too much of the fake tan look here! Make them look more natural! The autumn scenery was beautiful, especially the scenes out in real nature. The theme of the movie and Aunt Bee's match making, after her passing, highlighted valuable ethics that our world needs more of. More people would benefit from these ethical messages if they watched these movies.

Hallmark went all out and revamped their "Fall Harvest" programming. "Sweet Autumn" is one of the better movies this year, and the reasoning might be:

• interesting cast, they come across as realistic and natural
• great setting, the houses, areas and decoration used really blend with the fall season
• while all Hallmark plots are kind of predictable, this one is at least interesting

Great movie.

We found this Hallmark movie on DVD from our public library. It is set in Vermont in the Autumn but was filmed in Canada, as are most Hallmark movies. And, as with all of them, no violence, bad language, or sex. Well there was one or two kisses.

All in all it is pretty cheesy, the dialog is simple and the acting is adequate. The story is sparked by the death of Aunt Dee who ran a popular candy store in the town, her will left the store half each to her niece and the son of a good friend. Her motive all along was to be a matchmaker.

We found it an entertaining way to pass 80 minutes or so, quickly forgettable but interesting nonetheless.
