The Irresistible Blueberry Farm

Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas have great chemistry in this movie. City girl travels to beautiful rural town to deliver a letter from her recently deceased grandmother. A few run-ins with the handsome local carpenter and she's feeling tugs at her heartstrings as to what to do, since she is some-what engaged to someone else. It's a cozy heart-warming story. All the actors/actresses do a great job and nothing felt cheesy. I fell in love with Marc Blucas after this movie. Alison Sweeney always performs well. Love the dance scene. I like it when the Hallmark movie can just take you away from the real world for a couple of hours. Highly recommend this one.

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.

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.

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.

My local library offered up this DVD, originally a 2017 Hallmark TV movie. I'll readily admit it's not normal fare for me but I wanted to give it a try.

As one might expect it's sweet, poignant, predictable, and a little quirky. Alison Sweeney is very charismatic as Ellen, a NYC lawyer who travels to the small town of Beacon, Maine to deliver a mysterious letter from her recently deceased grandmother (Shirley Jones).

While trying to take photos from a rickety pier, Ellen falls into the water and is rescued by the dashing local Roy, who just happens to be the great nephew of the addressee of the letter. Marc Blucas ably portrays Roy and the chemistry between Ellen and Roy is believable. Oops! The complication is that Ellen has just been proposed to by Hayden (Kavan Smith), an aspiring politician.

With wonderful cinematography, I did get a good sense that I was in a small town in Maine. No regrets from me that I escaped for a while into this feel-good tale from Hallmark.
