Appetite for Love

A predictable comedy because we have the classic elements: a woman has to go back to her home town that she left 15 years ago, she left also a boyfriend. On the other side this woman is in relationship with colleague.

On the road Mina must stop her car because there are cows and immediately she meets Clay, her ex-boyfriend. Later she goes to the restaurant and learns that Clay is the manager of the restaurant.

Then come the classical moments of tension between them about the management of the restaurant and at the same Mina begins to remember herlife in Sycamore Springs (eating an apple, climbing on a roof): also the typical moments of doubts and confusion after the arrival of Reed at the town.

A pleasant comedy with good poerformances of Taylor Cole, Andrew W. Walker, Alleys Mills, Marcus Rosner, Robert Moloney, Fiona Vroom, Jenn Griffin, Morgan Taylor Campbell and Michael Kopsa.

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.

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.

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.
