Romance on the Menu

I know this movie as "Hearts Down Under" in the U. S., listed as an original Hallmark movie.

It's a typical, traditional Hallmark movie. Boy and girl meet and fall in love at first sight, tension arises due to some outside issue, they both realize how silly they are, one runs back to the other and confesses their stupidity, and they live and love happily ever after.

I've seen the Aussie actors in Australian shows so I was very happy to see they didn't use Americans trying to do fake accents. I hate that.

While this isn't a blockbuster rom com, it is a feel good one, so those of you complaining about the acting obviously don't get the Hallmark channel or, if you do, you don't watch it. Almost all of their movies are like this. If you want light and airy movies you can turn on while doing something else, these are the movies to watch.

It's a cute movie where boy meets girl and they fall in love. The nice thing is it's in a beautiful setting in another country. Hallmark has only just recently started spending money on filming in more countries outside of Canada and the U. S. This is a welcome change.

...please note this was a Netflix film. Hallmark just bought and retooled it a year later to fill out the schedule.

Great movie without setting the world on fire. Definitely worth a watch. Not an action packed movie but really enjoyable story line

This premiered in 2020,must of been a fail? I don't recall it.

Typical Hallmark movie,nothing overly special but something to watch.

Like Cindy in a few things,but her acting range is rather standard.

Ok cinematography & well.. That's about it!

This follows a well worn plotline. Woman takes hiatus from her regular job (owner of a restaurant) to deal with a sentimental inheritance, this time in Australia. The guy she has to work with becomes more than a employee/co-worker. The last part of the movie is predictable.

I don't think Cincy Busby is effective as an arrogant, critical boss. It didn't seem like she really meant it. The arrogance comes out a few times but seems softened by a lack of conviction. I didn't think she and Tim Ross had much chemistry.

The movie has a hard time making it clear exactly what Nathanial is although he is clearly a rival in the sense of an existing something (?? - boyfriend, fiance). The final confrontation scene between Nathanial and Caroline is quick and pointless except to precipitate the conflict between the leads. It was pointless, because another event would have been quite enough to accomplish that plot point.

Actually, I thought the story had several clumsy moments.
