Otoño en Vermont

I really love Hallmark movies, especially those that feature a single parent because then we have a more mature lead actor or actress and not a bridezilla or silly story lines about the leads having petty fights with each other to kick start their fledgling careers or one up the other.

And the 2 leads in this show really came across as a very lovely mature couple. It left me rooting all the way for them - other than the fact her boyfriend is really annoying "Go for Brad"? Yeah, no thanks.

Given that Angela and Jeff establish themselves as mature adults with successful careers and Jeff is a single dad, to then watch them getting all silly in the photo booth made me smile. It is so nice to see 'grown ups' remembering to be young again.

Julie Gonzalo (Angela) played the part of the amnesiac so well. She was lovely and held her own but with a hint of fragility. Benjamin Ayres (Jeff) also did a great job as a very compassionate doctor and a super great dad. I loved the part when she needed to leave and the kids were heartbroken; he just stooped down physically to their level and hugged them. That is so much more comforting than platitudes like "it's gonna be alright." Of course it is gonna be alright but it doesn't feel alright now so the best thing from a parent is a hug and he did it sooo well.

There is good chemistry between the leads and we can feel the yearning. Very nice. I was very taken at how Jeff was watching Angela give an interview 'far away' from him and the look on his face spoke volumes of how much he missed her. He turned the TV off and put the remote control on the table but he did that wordlessly but at a speed and in a way that told us of his heartache - wow that is some masterful acting.

At the end, I love the way the two of them caressed each other's faces with their eyes before kissing. The actual kiss though was a little off but it did not take away from the show. Some great Hallmark kisses were in 'Autumn in the Vineyard' and 'Love at First Bark' - totally and completely toe curling kisses!

Jeff's parents are lovely and so are the townfolk. Makes me want to move to a small town! Vermont in autumn is always so beautiful.

I would definitely watch this again even if I have other shows to watch!

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.

I thought the writing was well done, very realistic. First time seeing the two main character actors and I think they did a really good job, very believable in their roles. Definitely worth watching.

Falling for Vermont was a sweet Saturday night treat. Both lead actors are attractive, serious, and very appealing. The children are excellent, particularly the little daughter, who is both beautiful and very gifted, expressive, and convincing in her role. However, the plot had some rather obvious 'holes' in it. If a car goes off the road in a rain storm, does it still not have a license plate on it that can be traced to the owner? That seems to have gone completely out of the script. Also, did the police not search the car for the driver's belongings, to help identify her? Her cell phone kept ringing, lying on the seat, quite visible, and could have helped identify her despite her amnesia. These seemed like logical steps to take,and would have identified the driver immediately. They were bypassed in order to make the script viable..but actually seemed like a huge compromise instead. One almost sat and shouted at the TV screen, "Look in the car!"..

The 2 leads were very convincing, attractive and one rooted for them to fall in love and finally admit it. Despite the logical issues here, this was a very appealing movie and worth every minute of watching. Two mature, serious leads.

This is one of the better Hallmark movies. I enjoyed every bit of it, and especially liked that it didn't have the usual dumb misunderstandings and contrived drama that most of them have these days. This was very straightforward with an interesting (although not original) plot with excellent character development. I liked everyone in the movie which is so unusual for me. I highly recommend spending time on this one.
