Perfect cast and a good story

As Good As It Gets

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

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.

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

When I read the storyline, I almost skipped this Hallmark movie, because it sounded like one I'd previously seen. (girl gets in car crash, in snow, and loses her memory) But then I noticed it was a new, 2017 production. I realize that most, if not all, of these productions are "sappy" and predictable, and this one is basically no different. But that is the very reason i watch almost every single one! I need and carve something that makes me feel good in our world today. Especially now, with all the horrible suffering form hurricanes and disasters, I'm so sorry for all these people and believe we should all contribute financially. In fact, I wish they would create some Hallmark movies that are more realistic and relate to some family caught in a natural disaster crisis. But I'm thankful for all the stories they come up with and hope they continue to produce. In this story"Falling for Vermont", the main characters actually have a good, casual chemistry. I'm a sucker for small community based stories, where people know each other and simplicity rules! If you are a fan of Hallmark, or a new viewer, this one is worth a watch! My rating is a little mixed between 8-10, but i rather like the conflict to the two different lives and hope that others will take a look at their own life and not let all the frills and successes of a business life become more important than family love and connections with people!

This movie just debuted tonight (9/23/2017) and I really enjoyed it. In fact, I think I'm the first one to add a remark. The main actress is very pretty and she's from Argentina, who would have guessed? She's been in the U.S. since she was 8 years old as I found out from IMDb website. I wonder if she speaks fluent Spanish because she's definitely fluent in English. I liked this movie because the topic was different than the typical Hallmark flick. This one was about amnesia. I often wonder why we get amnesia, what causes it and do some people never regain their memory once they have it. I have often 'imagined' having amnesia and wondered how I would handle it if something were to happen to me and I lost my memory. It makes you wonder, that's all. But this is worth watching. Sweet film. 7 Stars from me! The only downside to this movie is the fact that it was not filmed in Vermont. There is no such place in Vermont. I know because I currently live in Vermont. The location was fictitious or taken from a place in Massachusetts. It was filmed in Canada, not Vermont, disappointed in that only.
