Appetite for Love

7.3 stars.

I love both leads, they are in my top five female and male acting powerhouses for Hallmark movies. The story could have been better, but it's so cookie cutter it would be a tall order to make it original or special in any way. This same formula has been beaten to death, the woman leaves her hometown and her boyfriend behind to go to the big city, now she's back in town 15 years later, boy and girl meet again etc... This one is no different than the rest of the worn out plots, same blueprint and now it's just boring. The chemistry between Cole and Walker is palpable, that's the only positive in this film.

I totally agree with that person about putting some effort into getting to know about the people and their culture of the city or town they're supposedly representing beforehand. Yes I am a lifetime Tennessean and I can't tell you how many times this movie made me wince. I don't care if they use the same leading actors or themes. It's not that hard to find some of the supporting actors or actresses that live in that area they've chosen to use for their movies. No there are no apples to pick here in February, let alone full on vegetable gardens.

Formula movie. Wish Hallmark used local film locations. Question: what was that refrigerator in her aunt's home??? Loved it!

This is just me, so nobody needs to tell me I am wrong kay ... Well, I watch Hallmark shows for sweetness and to restore the soul (again, that is just me).

So imagine my shock with this show. The quarrelling is alarming and too much like unpleasant real life to be enjoyable to watch. The hostility levels are so high, it made me cringe.

I think the 2 leads may actually dislike each other in real life!

The lead female role is so unpleasant, she is not watchable.

"Oh actually it's Mina" and she is SO rude and arrogant with her ex schoolmates. She is really unlikable.

There are some Hallmark actors who are consistantly excellant: Andrew, W. Walker, Taylor Cole and Marcus Rosen are on that list. In fact when I saw that Andrew and Marcus were both in this movie I was torn, who should I root for? Who do I hope gets the girl?

Kudos to Andrew and Taylor, good job, chemistry was spot on , banter was amusing, and the script was the typical Hallmark fare that we all enjoy. The movie provides all the Hallmark charm that we have come to expect and look forward to.

The supporting actors were good and the relationships were fun to watch. I particularly enjoyed Alley Mills as Tallilah Jones, she was enchanting. Marcus Rosner as Reed, what can I say, he's a very good actor and I always enjoy his movies, but don't enjoy him as the heavy, with his dimples and smile he is good-guy charming.

Not the best, but better than most.

My advice: watch this movie at least once.
