In this fish out of water story, a chef and career driven businessman find common ground and love while fixing up a home they inherited.
Plot and other info
"A young caterer’s life suddenly changes course when she inherits a country home and learns she must share it with a career-obsessed Wall Street trader. At first, these opposites do not attract, but feelings begin to change when they find themselves having to work side-by-side to restore their newly acquired home."
Released in 2015 as part of Hallmark Channel's Valentine's Day programming, "All of My Heart" stars fan favorites Lacey Chabert, Brennan Elliott, and Ed Asner. Although set in Pennsylvania, the movie was actually filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
My Thoughts
There's a reason Lacey Chabert is in so many Hallmark movies; she's adorable, believable in pretty much every role, and has great chemistry with all of her leading men!
To date, she and Brennan Elliott have stared in 9 Hallmark Channel movies together and this is the first film in the All of My Heart trilogy.
Lacey Chabert plays Jenny, a chef who dreams of opening up her own restaurant.
Brennan Elliott plays Brian, an uptight Wall Street businessman who isn't very likeable for the first half of the movie.
While I don't know how realistic it is for two people to inherit the same house, I really enjoyed the story! It was heartwarming and actually quite funny.
Watching Jenny who is a dreamer and Brian who's feet are firmly on the ground, work together to turn a rundown old house into a bed and breakfast was fun to watch!
They go from arguing with each other to actively helping and rooting for each other. It's sweet!
I absolutely loved all of the mishaps while they tried to fix everything that was broken in the house. I have a husband who is very much like Brian in the "fixing things" department, so I could relate!
Gabby the goat was a great addition to the movie!
Although Ed Asner only has a small part, he steals every scene he's in.
So funny that Brian uses the plumber/general store owner as his own personal therapist to discuss his growing feelings for Jenny.
The second half of the movie is filled with tension filled lingering looks and we even get a romantic thunderstorm and a steamy kiss before the movie ends!
Speaking of the ending, I thought it was just perfect!!!
What was that?
Toward the beginning of the movie, Brian's truck breaks down and a mechanic comes out to fix it. We see the same mechanic later on in the movie and he has a very thick southern accent that he didn't have previously!
Most memorable line!
"I'm tired of waiting around for a man I might never meet. I'm going to make my own happily ever after."
Final Rating!
"All of My Heart" was sweet, funny, and an absolute delight to watch! This is one that I would happily watch again and again!
On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a 4
