Miss M What I love about these types of movies is the vibe the theme gives us, in this case: fall, leaves falling, having a cup of coffee while reading a book (Even though Spring just started for me) and I loved that about the movie. I also enjoyed watching my fellow compatriot, the sweet Julie Gonzalo, but...It is the EXACT same plot as "A Christmas to remember" I liked the movie, I enjoyed Angela's journey and I really liked ALL the parallels given at the beginning of the movie and their counter parts at the end. However, there were so many things, details and important things regarding the plot, that bothered me. Like, the boyfriend waiting two weeks to file a Missing's Person Report? Come on. Chemistry between the characters? I saw a tiny spark throughout the movie but nothing worth smiling-at-the-TV/computer for. And I have something to say about this movie in particular: Julie is Argentinian okay? It would have been lovely to make her Latina and have representation. I liked the movie but I'll probably won't watch again.
rebekahrox Thanks to the excellent acting of all concerned, especially the two leads, this was a very enjoyable little movie. The gimmick in this one was amnesia. This is not one of the usuals. A stressed out and manipulated best selling young adult author makes her getaway right before she is about to be interviewed on TV. Yes she leaves everyone in the lurch at the last minute. She has an automobile accident and loses her memory. This is where a little suspension of disbelief kicks in because she needs a week or two without her memory for a story and a romance develop. She is a world famous author who was about to be on the red carpet for a movie premier of a movie based on one of her novels. And no one except her sister and her boyfriend/manager knows she is missing. Add to that the police do not search for a car which should have been found in hours as a tree fell across the road where her car drove into a gully. That is where her cell phone is and the clues to her identity.Oh well, these are the little things you just have to roll with when looking at a Hallmance. These things rest on the appeal of the leads and secondary characters and based on this, it was a win. The actress, Julia Gonzalo, reminded me of another actress, and it was driving me crazy until I figured it out: A little known in America English actress Charity Wakefield. Looked just like her. I liked the widowed doctor as portrayed by Benjamin Ayers as well. Very likable guy.Pleasant scenery, gentle romance, nothing much to mock. The amnesia trick added some suspense and interest as well. I loved the way the set decorators stuck fake orange leaves in random places as well to convey the Fall theme. Very amusing. Well worth watching.
omijer Falling for Vermont was a sweet Saturday night treat. Both lead actors are attractive, serious, and very appealing. The children are excellent, particularly the little daughter, who is both beautiful and very gifted, expressive, and convincing in her role. However, the plot had some rather obvious 'holes' in it. If a car goes off the road in a rain storm, does it still not have a license plate on it that can be traced to the owner? That seems to have gone completely out of the script. Also, did the police not search the car for the driver's belongings, to help identify her? Her cell phone kept ringing, lying on the seat, quite visible, and could have helped identify her despite her amnesia. These seemed like logical steps to take,and would have identified the driver immediately. They were bypassed in order to make the script viable..but actually seemed like a huge compromise instead. One almost sat and shouted at the TV screen, "Look in the car!"..The 2 leads were very convincing, attractive and one rooted for them to fall in love and finally admit it. Despite the logical issues here, this was a very appealing movie and worth every minute of watching. Two mature, serious leads.
musicwoman1960 Although Hallmark keeps using the same format many times, it was great to see Julie Gonzalo back in action since I haven't seen her since her stint on the "Dallas" reboot on TNT. Since Jesse Metcalfe, her on screen husband from that show is on "Chesapeake Shores," I said Bravo to Hallmark for getting those actors/actresses for parts on their network. Having said that, this is a delightful movie and the casting was great all the way around. I felt the hustle, bustle at the beginning of the movie and wanted a break myself after listening to her staff tell her about all that was planned ahead. The writers made me feel the urgency of her request to take a week and enjoy it being FALL. The rest is wonderful story that ends....well you'll have to see, but it's well worth the time to sit down and watch or like myself, DVR and save for a lazy Sunday afternoon to enjoy!
