Sweet Autumn

Love Nikki DeLoach the hairstyle is awful she is so pretty.Her and Andrew Walker good Hallmark casting more movies with them

Aunt Dee of Aunt Dee's Candies passed away and leaves the business to her niece Maggie and her young friend Dex. Dex is a man of few words, which is both frustrating to Maggie but also prevents them from really getting to know one another at first.

Dee left a series of posthumous letters to both Dex and Maggie, with one purpose in mind.

Meanwhile Maggie would like to take the company National and Dex would like to stay local...arguments ensue amongst the annual fall festival hosted of course by Aunt Dee's.

This would be a great fall watch as it is filled with fall colors, facts about Maple syrup, and a fun fall festival in "Vermont".

The two leads play well together and the story has both fishing and motorcycles.

Mid-grade romance with a sweet concept.

OK. I decided to start to add my reviews. I enjoy some of the Hallmark movies since they are feel good movies to contrast with the ever increasing dismal dark movies on the movie scene. We need more positive depictions of humanity, family, friends, and romance, which is Hallmark's aim. Too many of the Hallmark movies are not well done, and I don't bother with them. This is one that is worth watching. I hope that Hallmark takes note of these reviews and continue to improve their movie lines with more varied themes and romantic scenarios. I like both Nikki and Andrew and this movie was great with these two leads. Yes, some of it was the basic Hallmark plot, with some good different twists to make it interesting enough to watch, as well as good supporting actors. Hallmarks should pay more attention to the makeup of the actors ... too much of the fake tan look here! Make them look more natural! The autumn scenery was beautiful, especially the scenes out in real nature. The theme of the movie and Aunt Bee's match making, after her passing, highlighted valuable ethics that our world needs more of. More people would benefit from these ethical messages if they watched these movies.

We found this Hallmark movie on DVD from our public library. It is set in Vermont in the Autumn but was filmed in Canada, as are most Hallmark movies. And, as with all of them, no violence, bad language, or sex. Well there was one or two kisses.

All in all it is pretty cheesy, the dialog is simple and the acting is adequate. The story is sparked by the death of Aunt Dee who ran a popular candy store in the town, her will left the store half each to her niece and the son of a good friend. Her motive all along was to be a matchmaker.

We found it an entertaining way to pass 80 minutes or so, quickly forgettable but interesting nonetheless.

Beautiful scenery. I didn't focus too much on Nikki's hair. Typical in some ways, very different in other ways. Another reviewer asked about the owl poem, so here it is:

A wise old owl lived in an oak, the more he saw the less he spoke.

The less he spoke, the more he heard.

Now wasn't he a wise old bird.
