Fiona's friend Angela helps her get out of the city for a fresh perspective to Fiona's father's Vermont Inn during their maple syrup festival. Basic storyline: Hardworking real estate agent and quintessential New Yorker Fiona's boyfriend Nate breaks up with her because he is tired of trying to fit in to her schedule. So, this was the first hallmark film that I have seen in awhile and it was just what I needed. I took a little break from Hallmark films (because let's face it.like with sugar, sometimes there can be too much). But the movie was perfect to help me understand how to move myself in ways that develop inspirations, purpose and passion to make it home to the best of my ability. How can I make this my home when it will never truly feel like where I belong? I have to find ways to live with it for now. ![]() You definitely need transportation in a place like Vermont, otherwise you are DIW (dead in the water). It's great for relaxation and laziness, but it doesn't have what a huge metropolitan area would have (liveliness). But I've been city most of my life and I can live both the country and the city.in the city where I do believe I truly belong. They say you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. Maybe I can find ways to fit in with the Vermont lifestyles, but I'm still a city girl at heart. ![]() It's like I used to fit in here (when I was a child), but maybe I do and maybe I don't. I thought it was good and relative to my story here in Vermont as well. In summary, not great but a very pleasant watch. Characters that didn't sound like that they would be appealing conceptually did turn out to be a lot more interesting and easier to get behind than expected. The story is cute and heart-warming and even with the predictability being high there is also a cheerful energy that stops it from getting mundane. The film is assuredly directed, while the script mostly flows well and has an appealing light-hearted-ness. The music didn't come over as over-powering or used too much and the main song is sweet without being to sickly effect. Also thought that the scenery was beautiful to watch and that the photography complemented it nicely, never cheapening it. The chemistry between them is playful and charming. Carlo Marks is every bit as appealing and always looks relaxed and positive in energy. Her character sounded neurotic and pushy on paper, but Chabert manages to not emphasise those negatives too much (almost at all even) and makes her likeable by the end. Chabert is immensely engaging in her roles, with a real expressive warmth and perkiness. Having said all of that, 'Moonlight in Vermont' succeeds in many areas too. Occasionally the dialogue is on the corny side and the ending is slightly too neat. And also on the lightweight side, meaning on the slightly thin side and also where it is all wonderfully pleasant and polite with lots of charm but also with not a lot of depth or goal. Story-wise, it is very formulaic, where most plot points are foreseeable well before they happen (due to Hallmark doing them a number of times before). 'Moonlight in Vermont' isn't mind blowing. Much better than the previous 2017 Spring Fever film 'Love at First Bark', which didn't do much for me despite liking the leads elsewhere. Despite not being all that wowed by the story when reading the synopsis, and even on film it is still not the most exceptional of stories, 'Moonlight in Vermont' is a very charming and easy to digest film as long as not too much is expected. And she is watchable here, more than that even. ![]() Chabert is one of the most popular regular Hallmark actors and it is not hard to see why, while not all her films are great or even good perhaps she is always watchable. Have begun seeing fairly recently Hallmark's non-Christmas output and it's been an interesting endeavour, though like the Christmas quest it's been hit and miss with some good, some bad and some somewhere in between. ![]() There were two main reasons for seeing 'Moonlight in Vermont', Hallmark film completest sake and Lacey Chabert.
