Love on the Vines

I'm not sure how I missed this one when it first aired - but now I'm kind of glad I did. Hallmark Drama aired it a week ago - so I set the DVR. BORING. The leads have no chemistry. They are unlikable. Jack Wagner is unlikable. Catherine Mary Stewart is unlikable. The best part if the movie were the ads for Magnum PI (the Tom Selleck one) on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Skip this one.

Extremely corny and mad dramatic for no reason. Did anyone else notice the guys wearing lipstick? I really tried to like it but no one was really likable...well except for Jack Wagner's wife.

This movie was okay, I considered giving a 2 - not a 1 because I only give 1 to movies I hate. This was okay but got a 3 because I did like the storyline. I just didn't like how the main girl seemed so hateful and really uninterested. They did not sell falling for each other again at ALL! By the end I didn't really care if they got together. It made more sense for them not too really. I liked the scenery and the vineyard storyline was good but seemed like it could've been better - I wish they would've shown more things than just going and checking grapes! There also wasn't any romantic moments other than looking at stars but it was a dry scene...

Favorite scene (if any) probably when they were throwing grapes in each others mouths! That was kinda cute and playful.

Also, it was weird having a few different storylines that had NOTHING to do with the main couple and really took away from making me care about the main characters story. I will not be recommending this one to my friends.

This type of movie always make the women behave so immaturely when it comes to communicating in relationships. All Amelia had to do is tell Paul what his father said to her at dinner. Instead she chose to cut him off each time his dad had a conversation with her and judge him by his father's statements. I know there are people who don't know how to communicate and are bad at relationships but this storyline can be exhausting. Every so often it's ok to let someone have some sense and communicate effectively with a love interest. I guess the writers, directors and producers think this makes for good entertainment.

In this harvest scenario, the story is fairly standard, but slightly different as it runs two couples' developments in parallel, sharing one particular problem in common. A third plot, actually similar too, is refreshingly for a single person. The characters are cross-generational adults, city versus country, so most viewers will find something to identify with family and work wise. I also liked finding more about an off-screen relative right at the end of the movie, providing a stronger conclusion.

Unfortunately, the big drawback with this movie is constant background music across every scene - although mostly ok to listen to, there's little if no break from it which becomes distracting and exhausting.
