Un beso en otoño

Poppy Summerall (Ashley Williams) is a flighty free-spirit unable to commit to any job or love. It's Halloween. She gets a job from her sister as a nanny for workaholic app developer Ryan Larson (Sam Jaeger) and his two kids.

Ashley Williams dials up her wackiness up to eleven. If she's younger, she would be classified as a manic pixie dream girl. Her Cheshire cat smile fits the role very well. The leads are fine. The story is fine. The triangle is fine. The kids are fine. It's fine Hallmark and not much more.

"She" is a 30-something lady, very cheerful, but endures getting fixed up with loser blind dates. One even says "I hope you are a size 2, my mother's old wedding dress would fit you." Then she finds out about a man who needs a nanny for his two kids, a girl about 10 and a boy about 8. So she decides to try it out.

"He" is a very nice 30-something whose wife died a bout 4 years earlier. His problem is he is a workaholic, he is developing a new "app" and is on rack to sell the idea to a Japanese company. He seems to put work ahead of his two kids always, and they notice it, and they aren't happy about it.

This is a Hallmark movie so we pretty well know, early into it, how things will turn out. But it is fun and entertaining to see how they get there.

All and all pretty entertaining, my wife and I watched it on Amazon streaming movies.

I thought this was good fun, certainly one of the better Hallmark films, with it being nice to see a Halloween themed one too.

Nice chemistry between the leads, a good story being told - I liked this.

First off, the two leads, are very likeable and have good chemistry. The children are a bit mean to the new nanny at first, but they do grow on you.

Being over 50 and single I found it nice that Hallmark chose actors both over 35, makes them more relatable.

If I have any negs. It would have to be the stereotyped sister who is trying to marry off her sister because what else is there. That is terrible, dumb sis acts more like a marriage broker than a sister.

Can I just add that everything is a bit cookie cutter perfect but the emotions and certain situations are raw and that's what makes this!

I've watched this every October/Autumn/Fall more or less since it was first released and I absolutely love it.

I'm a big fan of made for TV romances anyway (there's something so relaxed and sweet about most of them) but this one is wonderful. It really makes you feel festive in a 'Halloween' kind of way. The actors are all very endearing and the story is sweet.

If you know you like made for TV romances, or if you really like this time of year, definitely watch!
