Falling Together

Nice try on a seasonal film form Hallmark. They have way too many Christmas movies, and not enough fall/Halloween movies.

This one is a quite sad example of cheesy Hallmark romance.

I usually like Ashley Williams, but her character - a new tennant who tries to make all the neighbours friends - is way too pushy. It just doesn't look natural. A agree, she comes more as a maniac than as a cute little helper.

Paul Campbell got a better character - her building supervisor - who seems quite real. The problem is those two don't match. No chemistry as friends, let alone romance or sexual tension.

Rryla McIntosh as Drea is the best - an upbeat character who is effortlessly happy. The character doesn't seem over the top, the acting isn't forced.

I tried to feel fall in this movie, but it was so obvious that the small trees by the entrance, on the farmers market, etc. Were plastic... Sad, sad, sad.

It's hard to believe that this Saturday night, premier Hallmark movie was thought to be appropriate for intelligent adult viewers. An after-school teen club might have learned something from the film's message about kindness to neighbors, openness to new friendships, understanding of each individual's personal issues. But to mold a movie around such a very simple, almost childish concept for an adult audience at a prime time showing seems strangely illogical.

Paul Campbell is a sophisticated, polished actor, writer, director. It was almost embarrassing to see him portray such a weak, almost pathetic character. His scruffy appearance was not respectful of the fine, sophisticated actor he is

Ashley Williams needs to be advised to"tone it down". Her excessive smiling and chatting does not befit the mature, talented actress she is. She came across a almost manic, over-the-top with her big smiles, excessive dialogue, and endless bright-eyed energy.

This viewer was left wondering what Hallmark had in mind. Compared to the typical Hallmark story, romantic themes, problem-solving stories,, this film fell flat. This viewer didn't make it to the end of the movie. After the aging father told his story and history, explaining the situation in the condo, the moment to move on simply came quickly and the channel was changed.

Apologies for my first ever negative review. There was no logic for this film to be made, much less to be shown at the one hour that loyal viewers always anticipate and look forward to, prime time Saturday night. We loyal Hallmark fans look forward to better planning and decisions.

Wow I was expecting a really entertaining movie with Ashley Williams and Paul? Boy was I wrong. Two great hallmark actors having no on screen chemistry. As for Williams she never stopped talking. I understand the character was a do gooder but omg she must have gotten paid by the word. As for Paul he brought nothing to his role. He looked like he was just sending it in The supporting cast except for the owner of the cafe were all one dementia and are not good supporting actors. The best part of the movie was when Williams wasn't blabbering. I love her as an actress but in this movie she was terrible with this quality of. Movie I will not sign up for the new Hallmark channel. Hallmark needs to upgrade these movies.

To be honest I got attacked by happiness watching this movie. I already knew the story would be simple, but it surprised me with some interesting plots. Also this movie showcased a good cause (please watch to know)! I feel like it's THE perfect family-romance-slice of life movie. You don't have to think too much tho, let the story serves you they way it does. It was very lovely imo, I didn't find it cringey I even thought it's very relatable. I enjoyed this movie so much, thinking of rewatching again sometime after I crossed my queuing hallmark movie lists off. Definitely recommended, especially if you like light storied movies.

Paul Campbell is a reliable Hallmark star (and one who attracts a lot of irrational hate for his stance on social issues that I am sure you can figure out - I'm sure there'll be the usual hate for this one as a result) and Ashley Williams is pretty good, too.

I just didn't completely feel their chemistry, and these Hallmark movies are nothing if the leads don't have a certain amount of chemistry.

That said, the Alzheimer's storyline is sensitively handled. It's such a terribly debilitating disease that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. I was pleasantly surprised to see it a part of the plot, but it wasn't enough to save the movie.

Also: not enough outdoor fall scenes for mine. The best Hallmark fall movies have lots of scenes outside.
