Upon seeing the previews of this movie I had high hopes for this movie. While not terrible, this movie did not live up to those hopes.
When looking at a Hallmark film I think four factors make or break it.
First, are the lead actors good in their roles and do the characters have some depth. Here I thought while the acting was fine the characters were stick figures with no depth.
Second, does the romance seem real or contrived. Sorry, never really bought it here that the surgeon would fall for this guy. Yeah, he was nice to her kid, but most people are nice to kids.
Third, is it funny. These movies are billed as romantic comedies. I would say actually being funny is the difference that sets apart any of the Halmark movies. This movie tried to be with the Ronnie character but I don't think ever achieved it.
Fourth, are there a few nice subplots or quirks in the story to add to the drama. I did not see that here.
As a final note, most people don't wear nice, new clothes (I am guessing K-Mart or Target) to bring in the harvest. I have participated in harvests before and neither me or anyone else did so. Mr. Douglas of Green Acres would have been proud of these farmers.
Overall, the movie is okay for this kind of fare and certainly watchable once, but not a classic or one I predict we will see often in the upcoming years.
