The Irresistible Blueberry Farm (2016) Online

Ellen, a New York lawyer, and her pre-engagement boyfriend Hayden, a politician, are perfect together on paper, but she still has not given him an answer to his proposal of marriage. Ellen and her maternal grandmother Ruth have always had a special bond, they going on unusual adventures together, something that Ellen's more conservative mother, Cynthia, has never understood. The last words Ruth said to Ellen before she passed away was for Ellen to hand deliver a letter for her, it addressed to a Chet Cumberfield in Beacon, Maine, where, as Ellen just learns, Ruth was born and grew up, Chet of who Ellen and Cynthia had never heard. Ellen has no hesitation in obliging her grandmother's last request, it a task which she believes will take two days at the most, her return to New York when she will give Hayden an answer. Ellen makes a literal and figurative big splash upon her arrival in Beacon, that event which will forever tie her to a local contractor named Roy in the minds of Beacon ...

Though it is meant to be set in Maine it is actually filmed on the west coast in Gibsons, British Columbia. Those familiar with the coast of BC will recognize it fairly quickly as it is quite distinctive from east coast Maine.

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.

This movie was a great surprise. Alison Sweeney was the actress from "Love on the Air". Absolutely loved her. Looked up her bio and she's been in 1800 episodes of Days of Our Lives. She was perfect. What a great role for Shirley Jones as the grandma. Marc Blucas from "Operation Christmas" was perfect as a construction worker. Kavan Smith from "When Calls the Heart" plays in a similar role. The crowd at the motel/inn was very well done and added so much to the movie. They gave our lead actress the nickname swimmer then got her to Karaoke "Foot Loose" (an excellent memorable scene). Now the blue berry plot did not make much sense and was a bit of a stretch, but this was a fun filled movie with true emotion.

I'd forgotten how much I adored Marc Blucas. (I'm familiar with him from his days on Buffy.) He plays a great sweet romance lead. He comes across as the kind of guy you love to love =) This was an enjoyable, heart-warming film in a cozy, small-town setting with solid acting. I'd watch more like this is a heartbeat. I'd love to see him in a Hallmark cozy mystery as a romantic lead. One can hope...

I've been a big fan of Alison Sweeney for awhile. Marc Blucas was a very nice surprise. Their chemistry was remarkable. The story line was predictable, but the trip was a lot of fun. Especially enjoyed the rescue and the dance scene. Nice to see people can still dance and look good doing it

So many things wrong about this movie---where to begin! Alison Sweeney, the lead actress is a 40 yr. old and supposedly a lawyer, acting stunned and silly! First of all, who kisses a stranger full on the mouth?? Who wears high heels on a wooden dock and all around a small town? After falling in the lake, doesn't mention her camera or try to retrieve it and then leaves her shoes there and walks away barefoot! The person playing her mother was way too young looking to be believable---they looked like sisters! Barbara Niven is much more believable as her mother.

She's sitting in a restaurant eating a muffin and rushes out the door leaving it sitting there and probably left the door open! Alison better stick to "Murder She Baked" mysteries. She's much more believable in that roll! Her best part in this movie was her karaoke. The last part of movie did get better. Then the old family house being restored---who puts a nursery on the top floor with all those stairs? No one would, not realistic! Mark Blucas and Samantha Ferris are both excellent in this movie and the scenery is beautiful.

I love the chemistry between the two actors, Alison and Marc really surprisingly amazing. I would love to see a sequel. It's a great feel good movie. Just what the heart requires.
