Falling for Vermont (2017)

Disturbing yet enthralling

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Couldn't suspend disbelief for this one.I kept watching because it was fun to spot errors.With Brad as her manager-boyfriend, Angela's color headshot photo would have been printed below her blurb the back flap of the dust-cover, so Emily would have been able to quickly recognize the author of her favorite books and tell her dad 'Elizabeth' was really Angela Young. {Movie over}The crowd of girls waiting to meet Angela at the Book Expo, while holding copies of her book, never asked for an autograph or took cell phone photos when Angela arrived? Angela meets a young fan inside and after talking the kid about what she was wearing, doesn't offer to autograph the of the book the girl is holding? Fans wouldn't have recognized their favorite author from her previous book PR promotional tours?Why would the movie-based-on-the-book be shown in a theatre at a Book Expo the day before the movie premiered in LA? Why would her sister Cynthia park her car in tow-away zone at the TV station before taking a cab to the Expo? How would the security guard have known it was Cynthia's car? Angela drove from Boston to Vermont and never missed her MIA purse? She crashed at night but the sheriff found her wandering on the road in daylight after driving through the downed tree accident scene that could probably be identified by skid marks? She was found walking on a road on the outskirts of town but the town doc thinks she belongs in town? Angela is more concerned about what she should buy to replace her borrowed scrubs instead of figuring out who she is? She isn't concerned someone would be missing her? Why wasn't she wear a medical alert bracelet for her nut allergy?The sheriff and the good-hearted townsfolks never bothered to look for a wreck until kids found it in a ravine two weeks later? Car tag? Owner's card in the glove box? Cell phone? {Movie over}Continuity failures-When Angela leaves her home she is carrying a white designer handbag and a poster rolled inside a strappy carrier as she got in stretch limo yet when she got out of the limo at the Book Expo she held the rolled poster minus the case and, by the way, where is her expensive handbag? Brad says "go-for-Brad" when he answers the phone, except when the news is Angela has been found.

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.

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!
