The Irresistible Blueberry Farm

In our quest to watch every Hallmark movie ever made, my wife and I found this one on DVD from our local library.

She is a New York City lawyer, she and her mother are going through things of her deceased grandmother. (Played well by Shirley Jones, in a well-preserved deceased state, conversing with granddaughter.) Among the items are a letter to be delivered "by hand" to a person and address in a small fishing village in Maine.

Delivery of that letter opens lots of doors and windows, as she meets the man who is the heir to the letter, his great uncle who almost was the husband of the deceased grandmother. But they decided to take different paths. Knowing this and sizing up her own situation influences her decisions, will she go back to New York or will she stay?

(Part of the story is discovering a number of paintings her grandmother had done as a young woman, something her family had not been aware of.)

We enjoyed this movie, it pretty well follows the Hallmark formula and the actors create characters easy to care about.

Great scenery, but not Maine. I spent a lot of time in Maine while in college and family vacations. The give away to me was that the mountains seemed too high for the supposed locale. I thought BC Canada where a lot of those kind of movies are filmed and I was correct.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I love Marc Blucas and although I am accustomed to Alison Sweeney in her mystery movies, she did well. It has the typical Hallmark formula: career city girl with slick city boyfriend meets down-to-earth, charming, genuine country guy and there is an almost tangible chemistry between them. Will they or won't they... you know the answer. :) I love her karaoke scene and I love Marc Blucas' energy - the safe, strong, silent type. These movies are predictable but they take me away from the stresses of daily like - work, politics, news, violence... Just everyone falling in love and living happily ever after. Thank you Hallmark, for taking me away from reality, again and again.

The Irresistible Blueberry Farm is loaded with irresistible charm! Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas have wonderful chemistry, the supporting cast is excellent, the story is refreshing, the scenery and art are beautiful, and the rom-com appeal is wonderful. This is pure charming entertainment from beginning to end. Highly recommend!

Almost always enjoy movies with Alison Sweeney or Marc Blucas. There are some Hallmark actors that never disappoint and these two are on my list. What can I say about the movie? Great chemistry between Alison and Marc. Great cast, just enough humor to have me chuckling.

My only problem is the dart game Dead Presidents, I don't know how to play darts but shouldn't their target be a bill with a President on it? Benjamin Franklin was never a president dead or otherwise. I understand that they were playing for 100 dollars. They could have used two 50 dollar bills since Grant, a president, is actually on that bill. If the target doesn't have to be a president, then they should call the game something else.

Just saying and whew, got that off my chest.

Loved that she became a celebrity in the town as The Swimmer and the Karaoke scene, where she realizes that she no longer wants to be "living in somebody else's skin".. the whole movie was charming and just what I have come to expect from Alison and Marc.

If a sequel is not possible Hallmark at least needs to pair Marc and Alison in other movies, they are great together.

Read the book too, it is very good.
