14 Love Letters

Beautiful filming location, someplace in Canada. Interesting plot but sadly it's not that great a film. The pace is very slow for a 90 minute film, script and direction problems. Supporting cast weren't remarkable. Franco LoPresti was much better in the "Story of Love".

Manufacturing food and skin care products at home can be problematic, it was portrayed here like it's very simple. If you're desperate, give it a try.

If you like poetry, especially historically famous poetry, then the first half of this movie will appeal to you more than it did to me. I'm deaf when it comes to poetry.

This movie is based on the secret admirer premise but about half way through there is a very nice twist. Fooled me completely. The reveal is not long after that and it is a little twisty also. That leads into the conflict which is where I had trouble following the why's of it. I thought Kallie overreacted and getting things put back together was a little rough.

I really liked the muffin metaphor toward the end.

Vanessa Sears and Franco Lo Presti were OK together but by no means sizzling chemistry.

I can't say much for the dialogue and there were a lot of sequences with little or no dialogue.

I definitely liked the idea of the movie. It was fun to try to figure out the mystery. I thought the lead female was extremely likable and very believable, as were two of her suitors. To not make this a spoiler, the suitor that was last on the list had absolutely zero chemistry with her. He was on screen more than the other two, and his range emotionally was very narrow. There were about five separate moments where I almost grabbed the clicker to turn it off, but I did want to see how to mystery resolved itself. I feel bad for the main actress, because if they had an actor that had some sort of believability, the movie would've been much more enjoyable.

I've never seen these two main actors in anything and I was very excited to see that they were very good. The chemistry between them was electricity. Beautiful warm and romantic story.

Jackson has purchased part of Kallie's family ranch from her mother...the problem, he wants it all to start a therapy riding ranch. Unfortunately, recluse and avid mystery reader Kallie not only doesn't want to sell, but she uses her part for her goats who are needed for her goat milk products soap business. Kallie starts receiving historic love letters anonymously in her mailbox and in order to figure out who is sending them she starts going out with two of the town's bachelors, a teacher and a doctor...but could the letters be coming from someone a little closer to home.

Surprisingly decent story. I really appreciated the reading of the love letters and the slow farm chores...including the very realistic ever escaping goat! Slow build romance that was delightful. This was my first time seeing both Rebecca Sears and Franco Lo Presti and I think they both knocked it out of the park. Great addition to the Hallmark romance vault.
