Love on the Vines

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.

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.

Unlike the two previous reviewers, I liked this one. The characters were human enough to get involved with, and the multiple story lines kept it fresh. I didn't notice the music standing out, and I thought it was about average for the genre. The story lines were far from unique, but tied together we'll enough. I'd watch it again if it popped up in the schedule.

One of the reasons I really enjoyed this one is that there was so much going on. Every subplot and character was well written and engaging. Jack Wagner made a delicious antagonist with his diabolical self interfering in his son's love life and his mission to buy our two main leads smaller but more exclusive organic vineyard. I liked that leads were attractive but normal looking people. Sometimes that actors and actresses are more glamour-pusses than able to give their characters personality and appeal. That said, I didn't care much for the behavior of the hero throughout almost all of this story. He was whiny and kind of a snot until he admitted he needed her help. I liked the girl. She was smart, successful, ethical, hard-working, ambitious, and had a lot of moral character. Even at the end, I got the feeling that she could have done better romance-wise.

Another split inheritance story. In this one, the two beneficiaries are ex's. But there is another romance story going, and the man's dad is trying to break that one up. There's a third even smaller story about the restaurant manager trying to expand her business while her mother, the owner, meddles.

Nothing much is happening in any of the stories. There are a bunch of attempts by the writers to keep putting Seth and Diana together. I saw zero chemistry between Margo Harshman and Steve Talley. It took literally a third of the commercial broadcast time before they stopped sniping at one another. Then the sniping stopped so quickly. After that the actors seemed like they were acting at each other rather than connecting. The dialogue was pedestrian. Even the seductive looks in the vineyard didn't seem real. All in all, this didn't seem like much of a romance which I thought was the point of the movie thanks to the title. They aren't connecting and there's just too much else going on.

It also seemed like Harshman displayed too little emotion.

There is a ridiculous scene toward the end where Diana proves that she is out of her league as a lawyer since she is so naïve. "Does it get easier?" This is another movie where the personality displayed within the story by a character is not consistent with what she would have had to be to get where she was.

Jack Wagner is actually kind of sneaky as the dad, even if he is overly controlling of his son. He's a little more than a one dimensional villain.

I'd say there was a surprise at the end, but it wasn't.
