All of My Heart

Lacey and a cute guy are not related but have a house together thanks to someone they don't know dying. She is super cute and likable and wants to open a B&B. He gets fired and blackballed from his great job for no reason of his own fault and moves in and starts reluctantly helping.

He fish out of water tries to fix things. He was a little too jerky at first but gets likable.

That was when the movie started throwing silly conflicts to keep them apart. It went on too long.

On the positive, there is a old time pickup truck, and a fun owner of a diner they interact with.

In addition to the plot dragging, on the bad side, Ed Asner plays a grumpy old man commenting on everyone and was annoying.

An entitled recently fired wall street worker inherits a house in the country with a woman. Are they related? Unknown. The woman is a former restaurant worker who dreams of being a chef. They both have troubled pasts that the movie fails to address directly but it is clear that they both have trauma that likely needs to be addressed by therapy. They both end up moving into the house together because they have both lost their jobs. Over time the Wall Street worker is able to convince the restaurant worker that they can be together. The two turn their inherited house into a moderately priced bed and breakfast after struggling greatly to fix the house up. Through their struggles they become romantically involved. It is still unknown whether they are related. Although the two struggled with their relationship and home repairs the plumber was always there to help with both. The plumber didn't get enough credit for all the things he fixed i their lives. This movie was indeed a hallmark movie. I liked the scene where gabby the goat interrupts the Wall Street workers call with his former partner. The partner is so appalled that the former Wall Street worker is near a goat that he exclaims they need to get him back to New York.

Jerry Bergdorf, another review.

'All of My Heart' is the first of the 'All of My Heart' trilogy, the others being 'Inn Love' and 'The Wedding'. Apart from 'A Wish Come True' and 'So You Said Yes' (especially the former, the 2015 Countdown to Valentine's Day block was a solid one. My main reason for watching this film was the always worth watching Lacey Chabert, she is a Hallmark regular and very popular and it has always been very easy to see why. Brennan Elliott is more hit and miss for me, but he is often watchable.

Both are represented more than very well here in 'All of My Heart', particularly Chabert which was no surprise to me actually as someone who has never expected anything less and has seldom been disappointed. Of the 2015 Countdown to Valentine's Day films, it is the best (even better than 'Cloudy with a Chance of Love') and is one of the best 2015 Hallmark films overall. Of the three 'All of My Heart' films, this is the best easily. Being someone who was mixed on 'Inn Love' and liked generally 'The Wedding' despite the sloppy legalities.

The only real big issue with 'All of My Heart' is the final act. The film does badly run out of gas here, and becomes very sluggish and over-obvious. Pretty much had a strong inkling how it was all going to end halfway through and was proven correctly pretty much exactly.

Despite that, there is a lot that is good. Chabert is incredibly charming without even having to try hard, it just comes naturally to her and comes out effortlessly. Elliott is easy going and down to earth and in an understated way, and he didn't seem stiff to me. They had a lovely sweet genuine chemistry together that doesn't start off too perfectly and it does grow in a way that didn't feel rushed or too slow. The rest of the cast are strong, with a scene stealing turn from the late Ed Asner.

Furthermore, the characters were easy to connect with and while they are typical for Hallmark they didn't come over as too stereotyped or derivative. The production values are attractive, especially the suitably picturesque scenery and the music isn't overused or overscored while still having presence. The direction is assured enough and it's all present or correct, if not award worthy.

Script is light-hearted and flows naturally, while not being cheesy or over sentimental. The story has a lot of heart and doesn't take itself too seriously, while treating the subject with enough maturity.

Overall, very nicely done. 8/10.

I Loved this movie!!! Innocence, Romance, Disasters, Business choices. But what we the audience Looks for and Expects is the Final Romantic Last Kiss in the movie. It was Perfect: Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott know how to movie kiss!!! The ending was all we were waiting for and all we wanted. Bravo!!! Not every movie couple can pull that off as well as they did. Thank You from a hopeless romantic that watches Hallmark Movies over and over again.

Really enjoyed the wholesome and family friendly romance. I like the leading couple together. Hallmark should put them in more of their movies as a couple.

Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliot stood out in the sea of Hallmark movies I've been watching.

I just loved how their chemistry flowed well. And I really liked the whole cast. They really made me feel like it's a small town with good people.

And the comedy was just what I like. I think it's called situational.

I also liked Daniel Cudmore and Heather Doerksen in their roles. Their supporting roles really helped the story.

Edward Asner was a charming grumpy old man.
