Sarah Lancaster, Tom Everett Scott, and Thomas Kapanowski in Trouver l'amour à Sugarcreek (2014)

In the heart of Ohio's Amish country, Rachel Troyler (SARAH LANCASTER) is a tireless policewoman with serious over-protection issues. Worried about the health of her Amish aunts (KELLY McGILLIS), Rachel convinces the trio of old women to retire from running the Sugar Haus, an inn they've owned for decades. When Joe (TOM EVERETT SCOTT), a penniless stranger, shows up on the Sugar Haus's doorstep, Rachel's aunts allow him to stay. Joe's a charmer, but his reluctance to talk about his past raises Rachel's suspicions. When Joe's stay at the Sugar Haus extends into tenure as the inn's handyman, Rachel employs her police training to uncover his secrets. What she discovers is more shocking than she ever expected!

Surprisingly good!

The editing was a little choppy and the plot a little thin in spots (like villain characterization) , but frankly I enjoyed the heck out of this film! The acting was quite good and I really loved the setting and supporting characters. Anyone else definitely prefer Joe in a beard?

Worth watching...

...for the really excellent performance by Sarah Lancaster as Rachel. In the UK a lot of US made-for-TV movies are shown on our Channel 5 mid afternoon, and I often watch them while having a late lunch. So many have actors working on autopilot, but thought that the leads in this one displayed genuine warmth, especially Lancaster. The only thing that puzzled me about the film was the interaction between Amish and non-Amish characters. I would have thought the Amish would keep their distance a little more, but I have never visited Amish country, so have no first hand knowledge. Sometimes when I look at the synopses of the upcoming movies on my TV listings, I think - have I seen this before? because of the generic plots, but this movie has so many unusual elements that I will not quickly forget it!

wonderful movie

Love Finds You in Sugar Creek is a thoroughly wonderful movie with mysterious twists, great characters, great writing AND NO bad language. The town and the outdoor scenes are very beautiful and believable. I taught in an Amish, Mennonite and German Baptist area for 10 years and the people were just as helpful, friendly and just as great cooks as the Amish were shown in this movie. It made me miss them as neighbors even more than I have in many years. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would watch many others like it. I like it so much better than movies shown in theaters and do not go very often because most contain bad language and horrible violence. I am recording it to watch again. Thank you UP for this wonderful movie. Please show it again. It could easily be shown on Hallmark also.

Watchable Amish murder mystery romance

Of all the Lifetime / Hallmark style Amish movies this is the top of the bunch.

It's quite watchable a story with a bit of romance a murder mystery and all the charm of the Amish. Plus the cast is great. Sarah Lancaster of Chuck has always been sweet and she makes quite a lovely small town cop. Looks very fetching. Tom Everett Scott plays a baseball player who is on the road with this young son to escape paparazzi after his movie star wife is murdered. Kelly McGillis plays an Amish again and it's a delight for anyone who can remember Witness. The country looks so enchanting. The story is quite clever and isn't too cute like some of the genre can be.

Worth a watch.

Excellent until

I loved the story and the characters until near the end. I think the story had a few atypical plot points and at the beginning I had no idea where it would end up. I don't really think much in it was predictable except the end of the baseball game and what it led to.

The identity of the wife's killer hit me like a truck shortly before it was confirmed and it was about that time the movie went downhill. I think it was rushed from that point, and the actor playing the killer overplayed the part.

I loved that the Amish were not denigrated in any way. They were portrayed as wonderful people, all of them. They all contributed to the enjoyment of the movie.

The tension between Rachel and Joe and what followed was well done and very believable.

Goofs
In the very beginning of the movie, the boys are chasing their horse and buggy for many, many blocks, as fast as they can run in order to catch it. Yet when they stop, neither of them is breathing even slightly heavier or faster than normal.
