Emma is coming back home to visit her best friend of 20 years, they both had an accident a few months ago and after that, Emma just fled town. Will, Emma's childhood friend and Tracy's brothers blames her for the accident and for leaving afterwards.

That's all you need to know to go into it. Once there, you discover Will and his buddy want to re-open the winery of the town and modernize it as well. So, they present a project to the city council. Emma helps them a bit with said project.

I enjoyed this movie. It reminded me of the first movies of this kind that I watched around 5 years ago. It's also quite different from what Hallmark and Lifetime offers. It's not centered around romance, which I don't mind but... here goes my main problem: I understand that Emma and Will had known each other for 20 years but before confessing feelings I would have liked for them to spend more time together, all we got was a montage and 2 scenes. It's not enough. It would be more believable that way. They cannot create a relationship out of thin air.

Unlike Hallmark, the plot IS more believable, I can see this happening in real life. I understood where the Grandmother was coming from even though she was wrong.

It was my first time watching Amber Marshall. I liked her. I might watch more things with her (should I watch Heartland? I've had my eyes on it for a while). However, I have my doubts with Eric Hicks. I didn't disliked him but I would have liked for his character to be more cheerful, at least towards the ending. And honestly, I'm still confused about the chemistry, they did not have enough scenes (again, it's not centre around romance).

I think it is worth a watch, the first hour of the movie flew by, I was truly entertained and it was 12.30 in the morning.

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.

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.

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

Congrats on this amazing movie!! I absolutely loved it, Amber Marshall is an amazing actress played her role beautifully, I also thought Eric was good st this movie ..

I've been a fan of Amber Marshall's for a long time I new going into this move that she was in amazing actress but wow to see her playing a different character then Amy on Heartland was great Amber was so amazing playing Emma she really did I have to be honest this was my first time ever seeing Erick Hicks in a move I was so impressed by him I will definitely be watching more of him When I can sit down with my wife in too kids in watch a 2 hour program in not having to worry about profanity that's great Love in Harmony Valley was a great family program there's just not enough of them out there any more my hat's off the writers they really knock this one out of the park Amber Marshall you never feel to impress me Erick Hicks your a great actor I will be watching more of you to the rest of the cast great job guys God bless you all and thanks again for such a great Move

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?

The premise is somewhat fresh and the story doesn't use all the formula tropes like so many of this genre, but those are the only positive things I can say about the story.

I wish I had measured how much screen time was spent in the actual city council presentations, which made me cringe to watch. Add to it the amount of screen time in personal politicking. The climax was predictable as was the ending.

I can't say there was any chemistry between Amber Marshall and Eric Hicks because the amount of screen time they spent together with any harmony (sorry no pun intended) didn't seem much longer than the time they spent where he couldn't stand her. And unlike some movies where the obligatory antagonism between the leads almost seems like flirting, there was nothing positive in that part here. Paula Barrett seemed one dimensional as Rose.

Note about BALLOT BOX STUFFING in reviews: check out all the 10 star reviews where this movie is the only movie reviewed. And the rating distribution chart shows way heavier than usual bias for 10 stars.

I always admire Amber's work. I'm really happy to have seen another side of her talent. A wonderful performance that makes me want to see more. Like in Christmas movies for example. Yes I can already imagine the scene: SCENARIO in front of the fireplace with a biscuit sandwich with chamallows, the lights of the tree flashing in the background. Good for summarizing a film, fresh, moving (I had a little tear, when Emma's grandmother said no for the 2nd time), touching, endearing. . . a good scenario. A very good film, congratulations to all the actors, directors and writers. . . I had a great time. I am very happy to have discovered Eric and Nina. Also a very good actors, great performances. A film as I like them, thank you for this beautiful show and why not renewed the duo Amber / Eric, which works very well on the screen (a Christmas movie, CHUUT, I didn't suggest it to you)

I really don't understand the 10/10 reviews people are giving this movie. I get it, you like movies with no swearing or sex that are suitable for the whole family but the fact that it ticks those boxes doesn't automatically mean this is a good movie. It's incredibly dull mawkish tripe. The characters are 2 dimensional and uninteresting in every way. The story line is forgettable in every way and could be swapped for any of the hundreds of Hallmark movies out there. It seems to have a continuous running soundtrack cobbled together from the worst of the aforementioned network movies in addition to some absolutely terrible original songs.

I know there are a lot of people rating this highly just because they like Amber Marshall from her Heartland career but honestly she is a pretty mediocre actress at best and I feel like these people have a hard time separating her from the character she plays on that show.

This is a bad movie with nothing interesting to say that really didn't need to be made.

A very frustrating movie made more frustrating by bi-polar grandma...

I personally couldn't stand this woman for the first 70mins of the film. Especially in today's current political and social climate - movies like this ring loud on how vindictive people can be if they want to ruin people's plans.

Of course this wouldn't be a "faith and family" film without the obligatory love story shoehorned in the middle of everything.

Love in harmony Valley is a really good movie this film is a must watch for all sorts of people I love it so much and also I would like to congratulate Amber Marshall, Eric Hicks

I tried to find a link as soon as possible to be able to watch the movie right after its release! I have to say that I was really impressed by this movie. It was nice to Amber into another role who is completely different Amy on Heartland. I was impressed by her capacity to play a role as if it was really her and her personality in it! It was the first movie where I saw Eric in it, he is a very talented actor and their chemistry were more than real! I'm hoping for a sequel to come, fingers crossed!

Amber Marshall has done it again she was great doing her part. The rest of the cast was good also if you did not watch it you better hurry up and watch it when it is on again

Eric and Amber truly have chemistry to make this beautiful movie..

What a really sweet movie. I wasn't expecting much, but ended up loving it. Amber Marshal was amazing in it.I thought Emma was so different from Amy, and Amber did such an amazing job. The other actors were great too, the whole cast had great chemistry.

What a wonderful film, very good. I loved it. And Amber rocked, as always, and so did the others. Success!

I loved the movie. What a thrill to see Amber and Eric acting together. Lots of love and sweet moments to be enjoyed. It was amazing. 👏👏👏

Amber marshall and eric are awesome in this movie. They are my favorite. I love the movie. Congrats to both of you. Love you guys.
