To the person saying they watched 30 mins, if you don't watch a full movie, don't rate it. You didn't give it long enough to have a fair viewpoint. I thought it was sweet, loved Gillian & the movie had vibes of Harvest Moon but less comedy. I was happy to see fall included instead of just a movie set at any time of year included as a fall into love movie (I know it's on the app, but it will be on linear soon). Corey brings his A game in anything he does, & Jodie did well, although I think there needed to be more characters included earlier on. I like the tie-in at the end that I won't spoil. I think a little more comedy would've worked better for this one, but overall it was a pleasant, wholesome watch, that I enjoyed. This was clearly an acquisition but it's a fun watch. The animals & fall vibes are the winner, so if you're in the mood for an easy lighthearted comfort watch, definitely give it a go.
Someone please tell Jodie Sweetin shellac hairspray went out of style with Woodstock '69. Her hair wouldn't move in a hurricane or tornado. She pretty and talented but I just stop looking at her hair. It is just so unnatural. I love all Hallmark movies and have seen her previous ones. Sorry this is too short to post; but someone needs to tell her. I know Hallmark can do better, and this was just sloppy. I enjoy both of these actors, but this was ridiculous. The lack of chemistry was present, and her overacting was full-on cringe. The quality of this movie was horrendous. And please TURN DOWN THE "BACKGROUND" MUSIC.
The basic storyline is the usually enjoyable girl has an empty life, lifestyle changes, finds new life. There could have been more background of Jodie's character prior to her move, more punch to her transition, maybe some flashbacks to build her character, more conflict, more comedy keeping it light and fun. The biggest distraction for me personally, is the awful wig that Jodie Sweetin wears through the entire film. She's a very attractive woman, so why? The other issue I had is why all the dollar store garland throughout the farmhouse. Was the budget for hair and sets really that low? Not a waste of time, but it could have been better.
I love Hallmark movies. Even the not so good ones. Jodie is my least favorite actress and I usually skip hers. But I really like Corey so I thought I'd give it a try. It was the worst I've seen. First, the wig. Why???? It was so distracting. Jodie is a pretty woman but that wig was the worst. Second, absolutely no character development at all. This could have been a better movie. It seemed just rushed. Hallmark, you can do so much better. This should not be the movie you use to try to advertise the new Hallmark plus. I have my sweatshirt ready so please do not disappoint me for the Fall and Winter season.
Over the top acting (by most), choppy storyline, bland chemistry, goofy music clips... I am not looking for Jane Austen intuitiveness when I watch Hallmark, these movies are my mental release, but I do appreciate good writing and directing - followed by believable acting.
This movie was reminiscent of an 80's sitcom, that had 1 season. I have seen an improvement in Hallmark movies of late; a little more grit, depth and reality. This movie did not make the cut.
To produce this, edit it and think it's up to par, is a major oversight. I actually like these actors, just not their performance in this particular film.
