Movie Reviews

Story is not novel, the low budget production is barely watchable.

My wife and I were looking for a movie to while away the Saturday evening after dinner and came upon this on FreeVee, on Prime streaming. It seemed like a good pick but we didn't get very far into it before we realized it was just a low-budget, family project with marginal production values, an unimaginitive script, amateurish acting, and haphazard directing. But I always say, you can't really appreciate the good movies unless you occasionally see a real clunker like this one.We did watch the whole movie but found ourself laughing during non-humorous parts just because the story was handled so clumsily. Shot in Maryland, the premise is an ambitious real estate man's company has its eye on some prime farmland for its next housing and retail development. It turns out he falls for the daughter of the local farm owner that becomes the target of the buy out. Conflicts arise, they have to be sorted out. His company loyalty is tested.It mostly follows the Hallmark formula for story arc but overall is not handled nearly as well as the typical Hallmark movie. My wife wishes she had not taken the time to see it, I sort of enjoyed the absurdity of it all. It isn't a "1", there are some worthwhile aspects to it, but maybe a "3" or "4" rating, clearly inferior to most other similar movies. (Note: on a 1 to 10 point rating system the middle rating would be 5.5.)

Utterly painful.

Everyone is unlikeable. The main girl is a ridiculous Mary Sue and everyone else is also arrogant and annoying. They pretend like they know all and all they do is perpetuate the idea of stupid hicks. Which is an insult to real farmers everywhere.Seriously, I'm ten minutes in and I want them to lose their land.It's like someone grew up on a farm and honestly thinks all farmers are good guys and everyone else is evil and so they wrote a screenplay with terrible pacing and in likable characters. They watched movies of others who did it better and mistakenly thought, "yeah, I can do that."This movie has 7.8 out of ten stars and not one user review? I smell fake ratings by family and friends. No one likes it enough to even try to justify those stars.
