Featured reviews
I didn't care for the two main lovers in the slightest. I actually focused more on the main character's two siblings Levi and Rachel - they had a lot of spunk and were interesting to watch.
The fact that this Doctor ends up diagnosing the two women who dislike her the most (Naomi and Esther), anyone can see that from a mile away.
A sharper focus on Jesse's father or Jesse's prior relationship with Naomi may have given the film more life. Ultimately I thought the story was stagnant and mundane.
What I liked:
1) The whole premise was a lot of fun and well executed. I liked how they were fair in their film treatment of both "English" and Amish life.
2) Pretty believable plot all things considered. Yes, there were plot holes and times you had to otherwise suspend disbelief. But generally I was able to stay in the movie.
3) Good acting and character chemistry. The actors seemed to genuinely enjoy being in this film and it showed. On screen, the relationships did not feel forced.
4) Without spoilers, the resolution of the film was fun. Hallmark should take notes, because this is how you do it.
What I didn't like:
1) Sound was awful and inconsistent as others have noted. Also, while the cinematography was good, the color filtering was also not consistent.

- TriviaGaladriel Stineman and Kevin Joy are married to each other in real life.
- GoofsWhen a doctor is needed because the girl is have an appendix issue, they all stare around blankly. That is the not the case in most Amish communities. They will go to the nearest Mennonite home or English home to use a phone to call for help. And in many Amish communities they have set up a community kiosk where a phone is kept to call for emergencies.
