MomMaven’s Thoughts

My husband and I watched FINDING LOVE IN MOUNTAIN VIEW the other night (we always watch Hallmark movies together, I’m that blessed). Overall we enjoyed the movie. Yes, it’s a Hallmark movie so it has beautiful scenery, a rather predictable script, and a happy ending. That’s why we watch Hallmark movies, right?

The main cast of Danielle C. Ryan as Margaret, Myko Olivier as Andrew, Skyler Elyse Philpot as Sammie, and Luke Loveless as Joel all do a great job of making their characters believable. They draw you in, especially the children.

Unfortunately, the opening scene really concerned us. The acting was so bad we were afraid we were in for a long night. The actress playing Margaret’s assistant was not good at all. Thankfully she was only in a few scenes. I promise if you stick it out a few minutes, the rest of the movie is well done.

To celebrate the premiere of FINDING LOVE IN MOUNTAIN VIEW, premiering Sunday Sept 19^th at 6pm PT/9pm ET, we are giving away a copy of the book the film was based on signed by the lead actors!  Enter to win one of 3 copies here.

Follow Your Heart Synopsis

Kathy, an established travel writer, tells her manager that she is exhausted from all the traveling and is contemplating doing something new, maybe writing ‘poetry’. Right before her next trip, Kathy gets a call from her estranged younger sister Miriam, who lives in Amish Country, informing her about the death of their father. Kathy comes home to settle their dad’s affairs and her relationship with her sister. Kathy is reminded of her life before she leaves the Amish community, including her old love, Isaac. Will Kathy returns to her traveling lifestyle or will she stays to return to her roots?

Mom Maven’s Thoughts

We enjoyed the movie. It was different than a lot of Hallmark movies. Follow Your Heart didn’t follow the typical Hallmark movie formula, which was nice. We enjoyed going on the journey with Kathy, Miriam, and Isaac and not being able to guess what was going to happen next.

I have been a fan of Amish fiction for years so the fact that most of the movie takes place in Amish Country made me happy. Ron felt the movie was a little slow at points, I did not.

Follow Your Heart is a sweet story of forgiveness and love that is well told and well acted. The characters were believable and vulnerable, you feel like you know them, which, of course, get you more invested into the movie.

If you love a light romance with an Amish twist, mark your calendar or set your DVR for October 4, 2020 at 9pm EDT/8pm CDT on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
