All of My Heart: Inn Love

Another Hallmark cookie-cutter romance, but this one is surprisingly touching and satisfying. Aside from Ed Asner's gargoyle stand-in role, the characters are somewhat developed and believable. But, in the end, it's Lacey Chabert that steals the show. After this film, I went back and watched Mean Girls, and saw her amazing acting talent on display. Plus, she must be one of the most beautiful stars in Hollywood. Such a shame that Hollywood blacklisted her because of her religious convictions, but good for her staying true to herself and her beliefs. A truly touching story of inner-city types discovering the peace and joy of living in the country where life is thriving all around you. And through that experience find each other. Brennan Elliot seems just to be along for the ride, but Jenny helps him along into true romance. Strong performances by Daniel Cudmore (Tommy) and Heather Doerksen (Casey), but in the end, it's Chabert's film and she shines.

I liked this movie a lot, especially the plot. It was different from the previous one because there was less comedy for one thing but there was a bit of character development. It is easy to fall in love but it is challenging to nurture a relationship when there are conflicting interests. Honesty and communication are keys to a healthy relationship. This movie portrays exactly that.

If you're going to make a trilogy you should make sure that there is continuity. The first movie was charming and I was looking forward to the next in the series. I just had trouble getting past the house and the goats! The first house was very pretty and they painted it green. It looked like a perfect B & B. The one in the second movie is an ordinary house and it's white and blue. Enter the goats. They're a significant part of the story and they look completely different from the ones in the first movie and yet they're supposed to be the same goats. The mama goat was white and cream and the kids were pure white. In the second they're all black and white. It's very annoying. The kitchen that they worked on so much in the first one is totally different. If they couldn't get the same place they should've at least tried to make it look the same. I wonder what we will get in the third movie. I'll find out today because I still love the stories and cast, just wish they'd pay more attention to the details.

I liked the first one in the series, it was better than most with an interesting storyline and not the usual sappiness. This one not as much mostly because I did get very tired of Jenny being overly needy in her relationship with Brian, and not being very understanding of Brian trying to keep a roof over their heads. Other than that it was fairly good.

When I lived in New Hampshire, our neighbor did all the investing for a millionaire- one client.

He built a very small barn in his side yard and filled that barn with electronics.

Every weekday, he would kiss his wife and proceed to side yard to his home office. He spent the day being a stockbroker and at the end of the day his commute required him to cross the side lawn.

I think about them a lot during this movie, and the conflict of the movie seems so silly.

Still, I find the movie very sweet and endearing. Who doesn't like a movie with baby goats. Bucks county doesn't seem so special, but I have never been there, so pay me no mind on that one.
