14 Love Letters

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.

Another reviewer characterized this movie as slow. That's fair, but I was actually OK with the slower pace which matched the pace of the ranch life depicted. And lots of pleasant scenery complimented the generally pleasant characters. But I didn't buy the "conflict" that inexplicably drove the budding lovers apart. It seemed forced.

Another reviewer insightfully noted that "manufacturing food and skin care products at home can be problematic." That's true, and Hallmark is notorious for making movies in which economic and regulatory realities are blatantly ignored, as they were again here (did anyone work at the farm or the ranch besides Kallie and Jackson?)

Also, and it's admittedly a minor point, but if Mr. Fisher was like a "second father" to Jackson, why does Jackson call him "Mr. Fisher"?

I thought the movie was mostly pleasant (though not great) and it was refreshing, and surprising, to watch a Hallmark movie with multiple suitors without any of them being easy to dismiss caricatures. I could see Kallie ending up with any one of them.

Also, one of the best and most surprising things about the movie was the music. There were several very good songs by Roxy & The Underground Soul Sound. I also liked other songs by Campbell and Johnston's Black Market Band and The Redhill Valleys (thanks Shazam!)

But one of the WORST parts of the movie was when the "journalist", in a mean spirited fit of jealousy initiated an extraordinarily awkward, inexplicable, and cringeworthy moment. Which was then quickly followed by some VERY unflattering moments that portrayed Kallie as a VERY selfish and self involved person with no empathy or understanding.

Fortunately, there was a nice follow up scene where everything was explained in a satisfying way.

Final thought: when the annoying trope of the "almost kiss" occurred, the phrase Goatus Interruptus came to mind.

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.

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.

This was an amazing movie. It had all the elements to make a movie delightful. The story line was interesting and the narrator of the poems made them come to life. The actors made their characters believable, which helped you to enjoy the story. Even the student in the class helped to smooze out an awkward situation.

Everything from the scenery, music and story line was great. I also loved that Kallie and Jackson told so much in this story by their expressions. Like when Jackson beamed while introducing Kallie to Mr. Fisher, These two have great chemistry and Hallmark should pair them together again.
