Weird mix of good and bad

This one was confusing. I always enjoy Wes Brown, and I have no complaints about new-to-me Christine Ko, but even though they were believable and pleasant in their roles, there was no real spark or chemistry. I remember Lauren Tom as Julie on Friends as cute and natural. Here, as Carol, she was jolting and forced, with awkward grimaces and unnatural line deliveries. The whole movie was a massive flip-flop between scenes that were pleasant and enjoyable and others that were forced, strained, and over-the-top in trying to be cute and funny. We always laughingly comment on whether Hallmark movies seem to fly by (the good ones) or drag along (this one). Can't really recommend this one.

Pretty Descent for the first time out!

CHEERS to Hallmark for finally diversifying their lead characters. It was nice to see Asian actors up front versus always in support roles. It's a good start for th company. As with all Hallmark films, it's predictable but that's why I watch them. Hopefully there will be more coming down the pipeline for Hallmark. It's nice that they finally realize that the viewership demographics are a little more diverse then they probably realized. Wes Brown is always so likable and charming and Christine Ko was cute. It was awesome to see Lauren Tom in a non comedy role where she's usually relegated to doing stereotypical behaviors and voices!

Future Buddy Film?

The best chemistry was between Wes Brown and Chase Ramsey. It was nice to see some humor for a change. Looking forward to a Wes/Chase buddy film next!!

Whoops!

"I haven't heard her laugh like that since Uncle Jimmy died."

Seriously? No one who worked on this movie saw a problem with that line? It left me trying to imagine if it happened when Uncle Jimmy was on his deathbed or later at his funeral.

Very Similar

This movie was extremely close to another Hallmark movie from 2015. I won't even say which one because naming it will give the ending away. Not that you couldn't see it coming from about half way through. There were many other common tropes. There were no great highs or lows or any surprises whatsoever. As is all to common in these movies, the conflict was a manufactured mountain out of a molehill.

This was a nice Hallmark debut for Christine Ko. I'd be happy to watch her again. She had good chemistry with Wes Brown who is pretty reliable in this type of movie. Their relationship was the one positive for this movie.

I didn't care for the characters of Carol and Chris. They were a bit overdone, but that was obviously an effort toward humor.

I've noticed some epic fails at times with Hallmark makeup in the past few years. Christine Ko's cheeks were way to pink several times - if it was intentional, then I guess I'm to far out today's fashions, but it seemed unusual compared to dozens of other similar movies. But worse than that was one of the early scenes with Wes Brown's cheeks that looked like they were recovering from too much sun, and not flattering.

Quotes
J.P. Milligan: Okay, for the record, Carol called me about this yesterday. I didn't even know you were going to be involved.
Amanda Lin: Sounds like Aunt Carol. I didn't even know she was going to sell until I got here.
J.P. Milligan: Well, look, we don't need any more stress in our lives. So, if you don't want me here, say the word, I will bow out.
Amanda Lin: That'd be great.
J.P. Milligan: You're hilarious.
Amanda Lin: Bye bye. But...
J.P. Milligan: There's a but.
Amanda Lin: Aunt Carol thinks you're the best fit for this and the other options were terrible.
J.P. Milligan: Ah, well. JP Milligan, not terrible. Got a ring to it.
Amanda Lin: Okay, if we're gonna do this, I have two conditions.
J.P. Milligan: Fine.
Amanda Lin: I get to look over all the listing materials and we can only sell to a family that will run the farm as is. No developers.
J.P. Milligan: Well, that answers that question. Time has not made you any less bossy.
Amanda Lin: Cute.
J.P. Milligan: I love the idea of you being involved. I mean, I want this place to go to a nice family just as much as you do. You know my connection to this farm. It means a lot to me or else I wouldn't be here.
Amanda Lin: Great.
J.P. Milligan: But, in order to create that buzz, we're gonna have to cast a wide net. It's gonna be a part of our plan to get the buyer that we really want. So to create interest, it'll be easier and quicker to sell. Okay?
Amanda Lin: Fine.
J.P. Milligan: Hold up. Two conditions of my own.
Amanda Lin: Okay.
J.P. Milligan: Number one, you are going to have to trust me. Believe it or not, I know what I'm doing. And number two, we're going to stick to the plan this time.
Amanda Lin: Well, that answers that question. Time hasn't made you any less smug, huh?
[JP shakes his head]
Amanda Lin: Deal.
J.P. Milligan: Looking forward to it.
Amanda Lin: [under her breath] This better not be a mistake.
J.P. Milligan: [under his breath as he walks away] I hope this wasn't a mistake.
