Thank you Net for posting these images from Erin's new movie. I've been missing WCTH like crazy, but it's good to Erin and Ava together in this. My girls are going to love this!
ReplyDeleteErin and Ava were precious in every scene they were in together. I couldn't help but thinking of them, occasionally, as Elizabeth and Opal, but they were still sweet with one another in this.
DeleteRyan & Erin are such a cute combo! Are they both single in real life? They would makea great couple.
ReplyDeleteYou never know! :)
DeleteThe story line sounds very similar to the Fall Harvest movie, under the Autumn Moon, that premiered last fall. I’m even wondering if that’s the same film location based on these onset pictures. Still sounds good to me...love both leading actors. - Melissa
ReplyDeleteI agree, Melissa, there are a lot of similarities in these stories.
DeleteNice to see Sarah Strange in a movie on Hallmark.
ReplyDeleteYes, she was great... always a breath of fresh air! :)
DeleteVery poorly done. Erin is such an excellent actress but it doesn't show in this movie. Writing is poorly done. It is so boring, so similar to the script of nanny other hallmark movies. Hallmark does so well in so many ways. Yet, they really need to improve on making movies that aren't so similar - similar script, phrases, activities, actions, terms, etc. You don't see how there are exact scenarios, phrases, etc. in this movie as in other movies? You can do better than this.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you sharing that. While I love all of these actors, what I took issue with in this movie was Sam's attitude towards Richard throughout much of the film. It seemed like she was always making fun of him in nearly every scene just because he's from the city. That got a little old.
DeleteAs much as I personally enjoy country life, I know there are many who enjoy their life in the city. And, of course, when we are out of our element, it's not always easy to acclimate.
The setting of this film was, of course, beautiful... but I just didn't love it like I thought I would.
Net, thank you. I thought I was alone. I kept watching it and saying to my husband why is Sam being so rude to him, bossing him around? I don't get it. Erin Krakow is the sweetest person in real life.
DeleteSorry ladies, Sam was about to have her world taken out from under her, she wasn't exactly rude, just protecting herself, at least that's the way I see it. But..... all's well that ends well. It wouldn't be Hallmark otherwise!
Deletehallmark, shame on you..that cover photo is the
ReplyDeleteGrand Tetons in the background...Wyoming not Montana.
That's interesting. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteWhere can we find the dark olive sleeveless top and other sleeveless shirts and the rust terra cotta tee shirt that Erin Krakow wears in A Summer Romance movie? Also the khaki jacket?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved the movie. Recorded it, so i've already watched it 2 times. Please do a sequel! The chemistry between the two was amazing.
