Wow! Hallmark has done it again Erin Cahill and Wes Brown are the two best actors Hallmark has. Their chemistry is amazing and both actors do a terrific job. This Romcom has to be one of the best ever. The plot is diff than the boring one Hallmark puts out and the support cast is very good. I love the mother of Wes. Def shoots be in more movies. I can't wait for the next time these two actors to do another romcom. Why can't all Hallmark movies be this good. The list of other HM actors are all quite good The story lines have to be done better like this one. All in all one of the best ones for this season.
Loved this film, perfect seasonal entertainment.
It's Hallmark-cheesy, but not overdone. Yes, the premise is totally unrealistic, but again - it's Hallmark.
Erin Cahill plays the owner of a struggling hotel. At first she hates Luke (Wes Brown) - CFO of a big NYC firm. But turnes out he's not as bad, he has history with the town, and so it goes.
Very light-hearted story about kind people, then there are some kind people, and then they meet new kind people. In an unbelievably beautiful setting.
Best caracter is Sarah Luby as Nora. She's fun and cares a lot about the hotel.
Erin Cahill has good chemistry with Wes Brown, even though I saw them more as friends.
With all the far-fetched plot devices only one thing bothered me: mother needed Luke's help A LOT. And then she didn't, because after all she was able to say two phrases herself. Huh?!

The small town Inn in this Hallmark Rom Com is lovely and filled with charm and character until they put an ugly arcade game right in the middle of the lobby! Do young people really want to stay at a place like that? And are they so vindictive that they would try to turn away a paying customer to their struggling business?
I was bothered by these and other things in the film. I understand that they had to manufacture some animosity between the two at the beginning...but it seemed really artificial and forced.
On the flip side, the romance and chemistry between the two leads seemed genuine which will appeal to romantics and the overall fall setting with a Halloween party was delightful. I can't believe that any bank in the world would give her a loan after she failed to meet her financial goals just strictly based on a happy photo of their grandkids?!?!? Said no banker on the planet.
The two leads are lovely and the setting is fall-tastic. Those are the reasons to watch it if you are a Hallmark movie fan. Be prepared to overlook annoying and unrealistic bits of the storyline. And why did she have to divorce or be a divorcee?

In my opinion, Autumn at Apple Hill is enjoyable from beginning to end and is worth the watch.
Elise (Erin Cahill) has inherited a hometown inn from her grandparents (of course, because who doesn't own an inn in these movies?!), but is limited in funds and is too stuck in her antiquated ways to keep it afloat and relevant. In short, the place is breaking down, bookings have plummeted and it's losing money fast. Enter guest Luke (Wes Brown), a former local who's now a hard-charging hotel titan forced to take a vacay from the family business by his mother (portrayed by Paula Boudreau). As you can guess, Elise and Luke learn a lot about the inn and themselves as the story progresses. Does the inn ultimately get saved? Watch and find out.
I always remember Erin Cahill for one of my favorite Hallmark Xmas movies (Sleigh Bells Ring), and she remains a very watchable lead. Wes Brown never disappoints and together they have very good chemistry. The rest of the cast is just as enjoyable, especially main supporting players Boudreau, Sarah Luby and Adam Hurtig. This is a very good movie to watch as you decorate the house for Halloween or if you're in the mood for an entertaining fall rom-com. I highly recommend it.

Cast decisions make or break Hallmark movies. They can elevate movies that we've seen, in different settings and versions, many times before, which is exactly what happened with "Autumn at Apple Hill".
The storyline is an old trope - inn needs saving, in comes some workaholic hotshot from the city, the two leads fall in love and save the inn - but Wes Brown and Erin Cahill make it better. They are some of Hallmark's best. Can't remember ever seeing a bad film from either of them, which is saying something considering their extensive catalogues. With less competent actors, this is a slog.
Good acting, a decent script (even though the story is a retread of a retread of a retread!), spectacular fall-tinged establishing shots. A good start to Hallmark's fall/Halloween slate of films.
