Featured reviews
Natalie Calder (Ashley Williams) is a people person. More precisely, she loves helping everybody else. She starts a new job at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. She moves into a building where none of her neighbors get along. Mark Wallace (Paul Campbell) is the super who stays out of other people's business. She invites them to her party, but nobody shows up. She's not giving up.
This Hallmark romance does one thing perfectly. I get the sense that Ashley Williams is really this person. It's a perfect role for her. On the other hand, I wish the building has more character. It's a cold modern cookie cutter place. It is the opposite of character. The guy checks all the boxes. There isn't much drama, but that's Hallmark.

This movie was a big disappointment ,especially with the reputation of the stars,Ashley Williams and Paul Campbell. They are wonderful actors and I have liked all of their previous movies. This movie had a worthwhile message of Alzheimer's disease and the brave people who deal with it but not for a two hour movie. Ashley's character did talk too much and was over the top with her bubbly persona. Paul's character lacked depth and was hard to figure out . They really lacked chemistry and had no spark there . Hallmark has produced some fine movies with great performances but this one fell short. I just didn't like the way the story was presented,bland and uninteresting. I look forward to much better from them.
Nice try on a seasonal film form Hallmark. They have way too many Christmas movies, and not enough fall/Halloween movies.
This one is a quite sad example of cheesy Hallmark romance.
I usually like Ashley Williams, but her character - a new tennant who tries to make all the neighbours friends - is way too pushy. It just doesn't look natural. A agree, she comes more as a maniac than as a cute little helper.
Paul Campbell got a better character - her building supervisor - who seems quite real. The problem is those two don't match. No chemistry as friends, let alone romance or sexual tension.
Rryla McIntosh as Drea is the best - an upbeat character who is effortlessly happy. The character doesn't seem over the top, the acting isn't forced.
I tried to feel fall in this movie, but it was so obvious that the small trees by the entrance, on the farmers market, etc. Were plastic... Sad, sad, sad.

To be honest I got attacked by happiness watching this movie. I already knew the story would be simple, but it surprised me with some interesting plots. Also this movie showcased a good cause (please watch to know)! I feel like it's THE perfect family-romance-slice of life movie. You don't have to think too much tho, let the story serves you they way it does. It was very lovely imo, I didn't find it cringey I even thought it's very relatable. I enjoyed this movie so much, thinking of rewatching again sometime after I crossed my queuing hallmark movie lists off. Definitely recommended, especially if you like light storied movies.
Paul Campbell is a reliable Hallmark star (and one who attracts a lot of irrational hate for his stance on social issues that I am sure you can figure out - I'm sure there'll be the usual hate for this one as a result) and Ashley Williams is pretty good, too.
I just didn't completely feel their chemistry, and these Hallmark movies are nothing if the leads don't have a certain amount of chemistry.
That said, the Alzheimer's storyline is sensitively handled. It's such a terribly debilitating disease that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. I was pleasantly surprised to see it a part of the plot, but it wasn't enough to save the movie.
Also: not enough outdoor fall scenes for mine. The best Hallmark fall movies have lots of scenes outside.
