Good movie!

Beautiful scenery. I didn't focus too much on Nikki's hair. Typical in some ways, very different in other ways. Another reviewer asked about the owl poem, so here it is: A wise old owl lived in an oak, the more he saw the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Now wasn't he a wise old bird.

Andrew Walker and NIkki DeLoach were adorable together, they are such marvelous actors. The plot was nothing new for Hallmark, can you say done-to-death, The entire cast handled it magnificently. What might have been a been there done that film captured my interest from the start and provided me the opportunity to enjoy the characters and intriguing situations. My advice - watch this movie.

Nothing new in this one. Same recycled storyline as all the rest. Yawn.

I was disappointed with this one. I like both the leads, but the storyline was a dud. First, Nikki Deloach just did this story in 2019. Except she inherited a bakery then and a candy store in this one - they should have picked something she hasn't done before. The aunt she inherits from is apparently a psychic, who left stacks of letters for everyone and was able to guide everyone's lives from the grave - how she had time to write all those letters before her death, know exactly what to say at the time they read them, and run her candy store was puzzling... The story was very predictable and many of the scenes seemed forced and dragged out. The leads riding motorcycles instead of driving cars was just a bit too over-the-top for me, both characters seemed too cautious and particular to be "bikers". Nikki Deloach's hairstyle was also very distracting, her face is too small for bangs - she was lost in her hair. I think had this storyline not been used so recently, left out the motorcycles, and the letters had read like letters from a loved on instead of fortune cookie verse - I might have found this more enjoyable. But all were too distracting....

She had the words, to the owl poem... I would like to know the complete quote. I liked it.

OK. I decided to start to add my reviews. I enjoy some of the Hallmark movies since they are feel good movies to contrast with the ever increasing dismal dark movies on the movie scene. We need more positive depictions of humanity, family, friends, and romance, which is Hallmark's aim. Too many of the Hallmark movies are not well done, and I don't bother with them. This is one that is worth watching. I hope that Hallmark takes note of these reviews and continue to improve their movie lines with more varied themes and romantic scenarios. I like both Nikki and Andrew and this movie was great with these two leads. Yes, some of it was the basic Hallmark plot, with some good different twists to make it interesting enough to watch, as well as good supporting actors. Hallmarks should pay more attention to the makeup of the actors ... too much of the fake tan look here! Make them look more natural! The autumn scenery was beautiful, especially the scenes out in real nature. The theme of the movie and Aunt Bee's match making, after her passing, highlighted valuable ethics that our world needs more of. More people would benefit from these ethical messages if they watched these movies.

Usually anything with either Nikki DeLoach or Andrew Walker is very good. This one isn't. No chemistry, sadly predictable scenarios and a general lackluster feel drag this movie down. And maple season is late winter. By fall all the sap and syrup have been sold off.

I used to like Nikki DeLoach but after watching several of her movies I have tired of the snarky, know it all attitude she portrays. Maybe it's the Hallmark scripts that keep repeating the same theme. Hallmark needs to show more originality or risk losing their fan base. Rude acting is starting to turn me off.
