A widowed mother's new job at her daughter's college campus gives her a second chance professionally and romantically when she's forced to work with one of the professors in this Hallmark movie that's all heart!
Plot summary and other info
"After driving her daughter to college in Oregon, Amy must return to Los Angeles and face an empty nest alone. But luckily the Director of Administration offers Amy a six-week job planning the Harvest Festival. Attendance has waned because Noah, the professor in charge, has put the emphasis on “Harvest” and not on “Festival.”. While Amy shows Noah fun things like pumpkin bowling, he teaches her the art of apple picking, and sparks between them begin to fly. It could be perfect timing for these lovebirds when Amy’s job becomes permanent, if only Noah wasn’t considering a professorship in Australia."
Released in 2018 as a part of Hallmark Channel's Fall Harvest programming, "Love, Of Course" was filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and stars Kelly Rutherford and Cameron Mathison.
My thoughts
This is one of my favorite fall Hallmark movies! The film is a heartwarming and feel-good story about second chances and finding love after loss.
Rutherford, who plays Amy, and Mathison, who plays Noah, have great chemistry together, and their performances are the heart of the film.
The romance is slow to build but it works, especially considering she's a widow who never really dated after the death of her husband.
Noah is sweet and caring with Amy. I really enjoyed the touching the scene where he brings her homemade soup when she gets sick.
We also get a lovely, tension filled slow dance and almost kiss.
The chemistry between Amy and her daughter was a highlight for me, I loved the close bond they share.
We get a lot of enjoyable music that's perfectly suited to the tone of the film and I found myself humming along more than once.
The "misunderstanding" toward the end of the movie was completely believable, which I appreciated.
Most memorable line
"Mom's can do two things at once, it's kind of our superpower."
Final rating
Overall, "Love, of Course" is a delightful and charming movie that I enjoyed from start to finish! I would happily sit down and watch it over and over again!
On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a 4.5
