Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

The socialite daughter (Jenny played by Jessy Schram) finds that her family is bankrupt leaving her with only one asset to return prosperity to her & her Dad, but a pumpkin farm seems little more than a plot of land. This city girl is determined to turn a quick profit with a sale of the land, but finds that on face value to sell the farm would provide little of her financial needs. For those of us who have enjoyed farm life to one extent or another, her first meeting with the farm operator is NOT to be missed as Jenny maintains her dignity, in spite of mutually blindsided greeting with Brett. Jenny meets the family takes a tour of the farm before returning home. In keeping with her lifestyle, she decides the farm's value would improve with a "makeover", which she provides from her energy, personality and charm in spite of her lack of knowledge about farm life. She returns to the farm to get the feel of farming and readies herself for her "early start" at 9AM start.A strange noise sends her running for help when she again collides with Brett. He identifies the sound as the family rooster who signaled the start of the work day at 5AM. Initiation into farm life can be hard and tasks have her doing things not really needed and her pay is a sunburn from a day in short shorts and without a hat. Brett's daughter, seeing her discomfort provides the family's formulated pumpkin skin cream that quickly soothes the discomfort from the sun.As Jenny learns the routines and pitfalls they often remind Brett of his wife's tragic death that tears at his heart, even as he is drawn closer to Jenny because of her enthusiasm and positive outlook focused on the success of the farm and the energy she has restored to a family that in a single car accident lost two parents and Brett's wife.The community coming together for an injured neighbor holds a dance to help him. Brett's brother can't dance and resists a charming waitress's hints that she wants him to take her to the event. Jenny then takes the time to teach him even as she continues with her seemingly magical way she works and bonds with the family.Being style smart, she passes a sample of the pumpkin cream to her best friend to evaluate when she goes back to the city after the dance. As Brett and Jenny dance, her best friend overhears the initial tricks played on Jenny and how she could have lost the farm. Heartbroken Jenny leaves to sell the farm as is until her friend arrives just in time with important news.I love this Hallmark movie, perhaps more than any other. Jessy Schram shines in this upbeat tale of two romances and a "Song to Sing" performances that will delight you from start to finish. Those last five minutes must not be missed!

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.
