Sweet Autum - Süßer Herbst

We found this Hallmark movie on DVD from our public library. It is set in Vermont in the Autumn but was filmed in Canada, as are most Hallmark movies. And, as with all of them, no violence, bad language, or sex. Well there was one or two kisses.

All in all it is pretty cheesy, the dialog is simple and the acting is adequate. The story is sparked by the death of Aunt Dee who ran a popular candy store in the town, her will left the store half each to her niece and the son of a good friend. Her motive all along was to be a matchmaker.

We found it an entertaining way to pass 80 minutes or so, quickly forgettable but interesting nonetheless.

Love Nikki DeLoach the hairstyle is awful she is so pretty.Her and Andrew Walker good Hallmark casting more movies with them

I disagree with most of the reviewers, I was so disppointed! Usually Nikki Deloach and Andrew W. Walker are good together but in the movie there was no chemistry at all, they looked like friends. She was really better with Scott Porter and he is better with Bethany Joy Lenz. And what's with Deloach's hairdo? The movie was boring and I did not see anything romantic.

Aunt Dee of Aunt Dee's Candies passed away and leaves the business to her niece Maggie and her young friend Dex. Dex is a man of few words, which is both frustrating to Maggie but also prevents them from really getting to know one another at first.

Dee left a series of posthumous letters to both Dex and Maggie, with one purpose in mind.

Meanwhile Maggie would like to take the company National and Dex would like to stay local...arguments ensue amongst the annual fall festival hosted of course by Aunt Dee's.

This would be a great fall watch as it is filled with fall colors, facts about Maple syrup, and a fun fall festival in "Vermont".

The two leads play well together and the story has both fishing and motorcycles.

Mid-grade romance with a sweet concept.

Hallmark went all out and revamped their "Fall Harvest" programming. "Sweet Autumn" is one of the better movies this year, and the reasoning might be:

• interesting cast, they come across as realistic and natural
• great setting, the houses, areas and decoration used really blend with the fall season
• while all Hallmark plots are kind of predictable, this one is at least interesting

Great movie.
