This Great American Family movie is like a Great Value version of a Hallmark movie. The premise follows the usual formula-a woman is hired by her friend's boyfriend to plan an over-the-top proposal. She travels to her friend's hometown to orchestrate it in a special apple orchard and meets, butts heads with and falls in love with the apple orchard owner.
Compared to made-for-TV movies in the same genre, this one is terrible. Aaron Ashmore (Curt) has way too much talent for this garbage-I cringe for him. The female lead, Erin Agostino (Marley), has no charisma, and the writing and direction are terrible. Some of the scenes ask you to suspend disbelief beyond reason, such as when Marley teaches Curt to cook dinner, asks for loquats to offset the flavor of the apples and yes, he just happens to have them! Or when Marley shows up in a white tank top, dress shorts and a pair of 4-inch wedges to clean out an entire barn by herself! The whole tone of the movie is awkward and plodding, in no small part due to the distractingly dissonant background music. This one is a hard pass.
