Having moved from the city to the country, this is probably my favourite city/ country movie, even allowing for the fact that it is Hallmark and cheesy (aren't they all?).
We're not true country folk - we can't talk about how many generations we've been in the valley - but there are few errors in the film that made us laugh. They're 'mistakes' but somehow they make the movie even more enjoyable.
The fence didn't fall down. It's not a fence but a cockie's gate - I believe they're called wire gates in the US. Wire gates have their uses but if Brett wants to keep the cows, he's going to have to use something a lot stronger. Don't ask how we know.
Brett tells Jen to leave her fencing tools in the paddock, even though a storm is coming. No, just no. Even if they're stainless steel, we don't know a farmer who would leave their tools in the paddock. Finding them again is part of the problem.
They get up on horses to ride around the property. A few minutes later they would be back off again, instead of riding around romantically. 40 acres would probably suffice for a pumpkin farm. Add the homestead and the barns and that's it. No room for the wide open grazing land shown in the movie. 40 acres is a big walk but it's not the Ponderosa!
A lighthearted enjoyable movie nonetheless .

It's been done over and over : rich city girl, country boy, both come from different worlds so surely they can't get along?Well it's a hallmark movie so of course they do! Throw in the obligatory rich girl falling in a muddy puddle, and the country boy thinking she's too stuck up to get along with him or his family, and you have all the classics of a harmless family movie.Put it on in the background while you're doing something else and don't take it too seriously ! - nice gentle but predictable... no spoilers needed as you can already guess what is going to happen ... and you'd be correct !

The movie is an absolute trash heap from Halmark, even for their standards. The movie is based, which I can't put enough quotes around to show how little it has to do, on a video game of the same name. In the video game, you're given a farm to run, people to talk to and have relationships with, and supernatural phenomena such as goddesses. This movie has absolutely none of it. You could put any generic sounding farm movie name onto this, and nothing would be the different. Everybody in the movie is a walking caricature. Nobody is original, all the jokes have been done before, everything about this movie is a rehash of the genre. Golf would be a more entertaining watch, because at least in golf, something actually happens in it.

This is perhaps one of Hallmark's poorest attempts at a holiday movie.Though Hallmark is not known for high quality work, there have been notable exceptions, such as Betty White in The Lost Valentine.In general, their movies are more than a bit trite but with decent morals to them. They are often along the lines of The Christmas Carol format, with the bad characters realizing that they have hearts of gold. That makes them quite suitable family fare.This movie does not meet even that standard. The female lead starts off as the Scrooge-type. Which would have been fine if the male lead wasn't as black-hearted as she was. In fact, most all of the characters in this movie were along that line.Both characters do change, but are parted. How they are reunited is a love story told for Wall Street.
