Love in Harmony Valley

The grandmother is the most interesting character by far. The plot is ridiculous; the town development proposal' was like sixth graders developed it vs. Professionals actually from the town who want to preserve its charm.

What's really bad, and typical of so many of these movies, is that the producers make overtures to add people of color in speaking roles, but then they give them the WHITEST names possible. A man of Asian descent is named Flynn Rutherford? Would it have killed them to actually give him a name reflecting his ethnicity?

Decent Storyline. But as for some of the character actors/actresses, I feel they should have found people who have better chemistry with. Ex: Amber Marshall plays Emma which was a great choice, Amber is an excellent actress and people know her from Heartland. Eric Hicks plays Will, Emma's love interest. But the problem I see with the casting is neither Amber or Eric had any kind of chemistry together. It seemed like the relationship between them was forced and awkward, As characters they just didn't seem right together. Which in turn takes a toll on the outcome of the film. In my opinion, they should of found an actor to play Will who has or had better chemistry with Amber who played Emma. I'm in no way saying Eric Hicks isn't a great actor. I'm just saying he really didn't have any chemistry with Amber Marshall and it definitely showed.

Could not hold interest Amber Marshall as Emma and Will no chemistry at all.so bland Gram is the best in it.

I have seen this actress before. This time I wasn't as impressed. The one thing that bothered me the most was the horrible make-up she used! Way too much and too heavy. Her hair wasn't the best either. I know she likes long hair but, sorry, It's not her best feature. Her acting was okay. I, too, liked the bouncy, smiling attitude of her best friend. Every time she was around, things weren't so depressing. Will's friend felt like an afterthought. The story line was good, but I think it could have been done better.

There were lots of little things that were just "off". The Grandmother's attitude went from a lot of anger to sweet many times. In one part I swear she was the bad guy!

All in all, the movie was, at most, mediocre.

6.3 stars.

I like Marshall, she is one of my faves, taking into account a couple of movies, but mainly due to the show she is most noted for. If you haven't seen that show yet, give it a shot. I'm not going to name it, you can look it up and see for yourself. The title rhymes with "parkland".

This is an odd film with sad faces, disappointment, strange people...the performances were off. The male lead is abnormal in his presentation, almost like he's trying to be someone he's not, and it's off-putting. Trying too hard is the impression I get. The other fellow was just too secondary to have any impact on the story, his personality is absent. The grandmother was inconsistently nice, but unforgiving, and angry, and then maybe reversed? I can't put words to the way each character was portrayed, but it's a mess. Ms. Marshall's character comes off somewhat depressed and scared and hesitant, maybe that's intended, but not fun for a main character to be this way throughout a film. The only person I enjoyed was the injured best friend, and we don't get to see nearly enough of her. She's uplifting, cheerful, fun, full of zest. Rethink the final product next time, director.
