This movie was so difficult to watch. It felt like it could have been a good story/concept but it was so poorly executed. Here's everything that went wrong:
- NO chemistry whatsoever. I think it was supposed to be a grumpy/sunshine sort of trope, but just came across as him being a weak/beta male while she was very entitled and basically hated him the entire time for no reason. She seemed to enjoy pushing him around and making him mad. The grumpy/sunshine trope really only works when "grumpy" hates everyone but their love interest. This was the reverse, she was nice to everyone EXCEPT her love interest.
- SO MANY THINGS WRONG with the beekeeping part of the story. As a beekeeper myself I felt insulted that they did so little research. From things like their "wild" hive which was a foot long piece of honeycomb smashed on a wall, her removal of that comb where she just smashed it up even more and stuck it in a box, getting pissed at the MLI for swatting at a frickin drone bee, her going back to the removal site the next day to capture a SINGLE LEFTOVER DRONE to take back to the beehive, and finally talking about how bees "mate for life"????? No species of worker bee ever mates, only the queen. And when she does she takes like 25 partners in one day and never again in her life. So many things wrong it was literally making me cringe.
- Horrible dialogue. I won't even rant about this one. I'll just leave it with a quote "what kind of loyal drone would leave his queen in a time of need" ~ MIL weak attempt at flirting (also the sole purpose of a drone is to leave his queen to mate with another and consequently die)
Bad casting for the female lead, random ghost of Jane Austen who didn't even actually help the female lead do anything except some random regency history? No chemistry or romance whatsoever, overall very cringey (even for Hallmark)
I really disliked how the main female lead was SO obsessed with Jane Austen to the point where she would whisper to her before going to sleep every night and address her on a first name basis, she literally was like a mental hospital patient. Also the barkeep randomly being named Mr Wickham? Nobody else in the movie had Austen names so it was very odd and out of place. Very stupid, not cute or romantic at all. The female lead needed some serious mental help or Prozac or something.
