    i like it a lot

    I like feel good movies like this. Jesse Metcalf is always easy on the eyes. I'll watch anything with this dreamy man. A movie I would recommend and watch again and again. I like all hallmark films in general but I'll try anything.

    Same old story - lack of chemistry between leads

    Big city political assistant ends up in a small town after finding his gf is cheating and his job tanks. He gets involved in a development issue in a small town.

    Is a small town better off without big business? Hallmark's movies always promote no development.

    Anyway this predictable movie with Jesse Metcalfe doesn't offer anything new. He has no chemistry with his costar. Still it's okay for one watch but not memorable.

    Better than average TV movie

    I'd only seen Jesse Metcalfe in Desperate Housewives which didn't really flex his acting muscles, so I was a little wary of watching a film with him in the lead role. I was pleasantly surprised, he's a cracking actor and really rather wasted in lesser roles. He has bags of screen presence in this little film which is visually stunning in terms of scenery, certainly a great advert for the area. Someone already drew comparisons with the Capra-esque ideals of little man against the big corporation and this definitely has the charm and heart of a much older film. A sweet supporting cast of quirky characters make this a nice cosy watch for a Sunday afternoon.

    We've heard the title song before

    I'm just starting to watch Hallmark's "Fairfield Road" (2010). I only got to the credits before one thing became obvious: I've heard this title song before.

    "Fairfield Road's" composer is listed as Ian Thomas and this film is his only IMDb credit.

    However, it must be noted that the music to his instrumental theme song is, in fact, "Durham Town (The Leavin')," a 1969 written and performed by Kenyan/British singer-songwriter and musician Roger Whittaker. The song hit #12 in Great Britain when it was first released in 1969. When it was re-released in 1976, it hit #8 in Canada and #23 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart (now called the Adult Contemporary chart).

    What gives?

    Not Cape Cod

    How can you make a movie, claiming to take place in Cape Cod, when clearly it was shot elsewhere? Only one character actually has a New England Accent! The movie is likable and so are the characters in it, but a little more attention to detail and continuity, would have gone a long way. If you're looking for a movie that involves Cape Cod, this is not it.

    • Trivia
      The opening scene of Fairfield Road was filmed in the beautiful lakeside village of Port Stanley on Lake Erie.
    • Goofs
      When Noah found a book containing regulations for the county, he pronounced Barnstable as one would pronounce horse stable. The correct pronunciation is as one would pronounce the word "constable".
