Really Surprised!

Excellent, a Must See

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

When she crashes her sister's car down a ravine which results in her amnesia, she is found walking along the road by the Sheriff with a cut on her head. It never occurs to the Sheriff to look for a car - If he had he would have found the car nearby, checked the registration, tag, VIN... - movie over in 20 minutes. And after her boyfriend and sister don't hear from her in days, anyone in the real world would have long since called the police to issue a Missing Persons Report. If you overlook those flaws the movie is entertaining enough. Lead actress Julie Gonzalo is very good in everything I've seen her act in, and with her noticeable childhood scar visible right between her eyes, once you see her in a TV show or movie, you'll never forget her - distinctive for her acting and appearance, smooth voice/delivery, and the way she conducts herself. The whole cast does a good job, the kids one of the higher points. As usually with Hallmark, entertaining, not edge of the seat suspense, but entertaining.

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.

I usually don't review movies, but I felt compelled to about this one. Now, I am a Hallmark addict--I will watch anything on Hallmark and pretty much love it. Needless to say after some lackluster Summer Nights flicks I was looking forward to my favorite Hallmark genre, Fall Harvest. Falling for Vermont is a direct rip off of one of the other Hallmark Channel's channel, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. It was a Christmas movie from last year entitled A Christmas to Remember and Hallmark Channel didn't even try to disguise the fact that they were stealing the plot line of the Christmas movie. In Falling for Vermont the lead characters are a famous writer and a small town doctor. A Christmas to Remember's leads were a famous TV host and a small town veterinarian. AND for each movie, the doctor-vet was a widow with small children (I think in the Christmas movie there were three kids as opposed to two in Falling for Vermont). AND both lead females got into car accidents on lonely country roads which caused amnesia. With the exception of the actors and scenery, I felt like I was watching the exact same movie. I am giving it five stars because I did enjoy the lead actors, but I think they did lack chemistry. The kids were cute and not obnoxious as they can sometimes be. Also, I was quite mystified by the fact that this author was extraordinarily famous--her books had just become a movie and she was making TV appearances --but not one person in this Vermont town recognized her although they were all reading her books! I think Hallmark needs to start to elicit their movie plot lines from other sources (I'd be happy to help!!). I am looking forward to Countdown to Christmas (which starts a bit too early in my opinion--end of October--Thanksgiving is totally overlooked) but I already have concerns about one movie whose theme is ice sculpting because about two years ago Hallmark produced a Christmas movie entitled Ice Scuplture Christmas. We shall see.Yes, Hallmark, as much as I love you, I did not Fall (ing) for Vermont. Hopefully next week's movie about a pear farm is not a xeroxed version of a prior film

https://wordpress.com/post/alittleofallblog.wordpress.com/2051was really excited for a new Hallmark movie, its fall season after all.the movie starts with the usual hallmark way, good music, and an overworked character.hallmark movies have all very similar background scores, pleasant and the same. The background score is good.this movie seems to be edited and directed well by David winning. the actors do not stand out, its like anybody could have done this. Julia Gonzalo and benjamin ayres play the leads and have no chemistry. Julia is still fun to watch but Benjamin is just a sore.
