Season for Love

I have loved Marc Blucas since his Buffy days and Autumn since I saw her in Bramble House Christmas. That being said, most health inspectors.would never allow a dust covered CD player in a restaurant kitchien, nothing can damage a restaurant more than to fail a health inspection. Also the entire scene with the dusty CD player was pointless, added nothing to the plot. I did wonder about the cleanliness of the restaurant however. One last thing that bothered me, The celebrity chef was supposed to compete against the contestants for the $25,000 prize money, how is this fair. He did not have to qualify to be eligible. Not a realistic storyline. Also, how old was Rosie, she looked like a preteen, would they had Pin the tail on the cow at her birthday party, seemed like too youngan activity for her. Just saying. I did enjoy this movie: Marc and Autumn had chemistry and the supporting cast was great. Anything with either of these two is bound to be good. No surprises, we all knew that Corey and Tyler would end up together.. Ok, that's a spoiler, but we all expected that. It was a nice change from movies with vindictive ex's or preditory females trying to trap a wealthy, attractive professional chef husband. Great film for the whole family. My advice: Try it, you'll like it.

The taste of end, forced, fake , unrealistic dominates about this film. A modest one Hallmark, mixing same ingredients - from the single parent to the love from youth , forced vacantion and great opportunity, noble refused to talks , competition, small town, business of parents. It is not bad, it is not boring but it has the bad luck to be only another Hallmark. The effort of actors is just nice and the supporting actors are in right positions. But you feel than something just missing. Each scene seems copy from others and the main actors are just good people but nothing more. The food as subject is not a wrong idea but except the smoker and its problems - the fire being the clue moment - nothing seems very interesting. The poor Marc Blucas seems interpretate a teenager, the smiles, dialogues, nature of romance reminding a teen enloved by his teacher. Autumn Reeser gives his character , same for each film from Hallmark and she has right in good measure. The opportunity to like the film - maybe the work of Shelley Thompson. And the young Lola Flanery, off course. In short, nice , the polite term for Hallmark universe.

Not sure what else was off during the shooting of this movie, but one thing that clearly needed redoing was the script. Nothing about any of the spoken lines felt genuine. No matter how talented the actor, only so much can be done with an awful script like this one. I've seen both of the leads in other movies and know that they were not the problem. Perhaps they also suffered from bad direction? When they finally kiss, they touch lips and freeze in the most unnatural way. If I'd been directing, that shot would've had less hesitation and looked more natural. Also, I didn't feel the slightest bit of chemistry or heat between these two during this movie, Were there spouses or kids allowed to hang around on set? With talented actors, an exquisitely beautiful location and a sweet premise, I expected to enjoy this movie a lot. Sadly, not so much.

The, well, hallmark of Hallmark movies are sweetly predictable plot lines and this one is no different. But what sets it apart is the easy, natural acting from all the principle characters (Marc Blucas in particular) and the chemistry between the two leads. I also appreciate that, despite the two leads competing against each other in a cook off, it's all just light, friendly banter. There are also no weird love triangles, no jealous exes, and no one getting jilted. It's a delightfully fluffy, feel good watch!

Using the old formula of Hooe Floats, instead of Smithville, it is Red Rock Texas. Fun to watch, fine acting, enjoyable to watch.

Have liked both Autumn Reeser and Marc Blucas together in other things, and considering that they are here in roles perfect for them and ones they do very well there was no doubt that they would be at least good. Also didn't have any doubt as to whether they would gel, not just because of them having characters that play to their strengths but also that the types of characters they have that are seen a lot in Hallmark films have not been an uncommon pairing and it has gelled well. 'Season for Love' may not be a great film or one devoid of flaws, but it's very charming and light hearted and doesn't disappoint on the whole. The 2018 Summer Nights films varied ('Pearl in Paradise' being an example of a winner and 'Love on Safari' being an example of a misfire), and luckily 'Season for Love' is one of the best. It represents Reeser and Blucas very well, individually and together, and succeeds a lot more than it fails which is what matters at the end of the day. Beginning with what is flawed with 'Season for Love', the film is imperfectly paced. It takes a while for the story to find its footing, with not much happening and the momentum isn't there at first. And then the last 10-15 minutes or so are rather rushed in structure and in what happens (unrealistically quickly). Also did find the ending too hasty and too pat and admittedly there is never any surprise as to what happens next. Reeser and Blucas are both immensely engaging and neither overact or underplay, always involved in the drama while looking relaxed. While they may not electrify together and the relationship itself could have had more development, they gel beautifully together with nothing feeling contrived or too muted. Also had no issue with their characters, no overblown character flaws and neither are too perfect. Same with the supporting characters, that are solidly played across the board. It is a nice looking film, particularly the scenery. The music is not too constant or repetitive, even if there is not much that leaps out. The script flows very well, and has a nice light hearted wit and the more serious moments don't feel melodramatic. Despite imperfect pacing and being predictable, the story is still very charming and has a lot of heart, appreciated too that there were no forced conflicts and that nothing felt extraneous. Overall, very nice film if not great. 7/10.

Great happy movie - it's not easy to get a good work life balance, but this story inspires doing just that.

Every vehicle you see in this movie is a goof or error. In Texas, our vehicle registration stickers are on the inside front window on the driver's side. I have watched this movie several times. They did put some phony Texas plates on the vehicles, but no registration stickers.

At the end of the movie tyler's boyfriend has his hands on her stomach. Is she supposed to be pregnant?

Tyler Dawson and her husband had a nice marriage. Then, one day, they decided to throw in the towel and just be friends. There was no scandal, no reason, no "irreconcilable differences", just a general sense of boredom. Tyler's daughter seems alright with the decision, but who knows. Her mother treats her like she's half her age, so she might not have listened to her protests. After blowing up her family, Tyler goes back to Texas and falls in love with a celebrity chef from her high school (whose cooking skills are apparently inferior to hers), and wins a big barbeque contest. The end. An empty, unimaginative, and silly way to spend an hour and a half, nothing more.
