When Tate Donovan is the more realistic actor.... Something is wrong. Ashley Williams has to do these rolls because she over acts everything. So it seems like they write this nonsense for her. I love hm movies. I love cheesy. This is dumb. Horrible. They are saving a tree whose roots are destroying drinking water and pipes. Dumb. And her building her tree platform. She blew on a nail?!? It's comical how stupid it is. This is bad. Don't Oh I fell asleep half way through and can figure it all out. So so terrible. As someone who threw herself into things when her dad died. This is still annoying. She told her friend she heard her. But didn't change. Ugh. Ashley Williams is super cute. But seriously. Tone it down.

Agree Ashley Williams can be OTT. This spoils the movie somewhat but she does settle down a bit towards the end. I noticed she was an executive producer so maybe the director was a bit hamstrung in controlling her overacting Thank goodness for Trevor Donovan as a stabilising force. The plot was a little un Hallmark like but did have a bit more substance than their normal offering. More like this would be a good move for Hallmark? Had to smile at the park's war memorial. Supposedly set in the USA the dates on it were 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. I think the USA was involved a little later than this in both cases. So obviously Canadian location.

This movie is cute enough considering it's Hallmark, but man oh man. This is literally a compilation of scenes from Parks and Recreation. Chipper blonde director of P&R, Aimie Rourke (nod to Amy Poehler??) in a small town is planning an upcoming harvest festival, and is distraught to discover that the mayor plans on cutting down the oldest tree in town. The love interest, Kyle Sorensen (Ron Swanson c'mon guys), the landscaper in charge of cutting down the tree, is a burly, off-the-grid man who is annoyed, yet charmed by Aimie's determination. There are many conversations that have been pulled from the TV show word-for-word, including the "steamroller" conversion between Leslie and Ann, and Aimie's demeanor could be described as the SNL impression of Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope. It's extremely unoriginal and the romance plot is weak at best. However, if you've got a need for a high-budget Parks and Rec fanfiction where Leslie and Ron get together, you've got probably the only thing that would satisfy that.

Love on a Limb wasn't the best movie, but it wasn't worth the sub 5 ratings, but everyone views things through different optics. As usual Trevor Danovan was great, he makes anyone good. Marilu Henner, wow!, Ashley Williams doesn't deserve the harsh remarks. The tree that was the focus of this movie...WOW, now that was some kind of tree. Would I view this movie again?, probably not. I'm glad we saw it though. Check it out.

Four Fall Harvest films were made in 2016, have noticed that of all the seasonal blocks for all the years between 2015-2021 the Fall Harvest block has always been the briefest. The other three, particularly 'Pumpkin Pie Wars' (review to come), were above average. The concept did sound quite sweet in 'Love on a Limb', though very typical. Trevor Donovan has really grown on me, wasn't sure about him when first watching his work (more recent than this though) but he is very charming and likeable when the role is well written. Ashley Williams is a bit take and leave. Of the Fall Harvest films, 'Love on a Limb' is the weakest easily for me and there is not much to add to what has been said very well already. There were worse Hallmark films from 2016 (have named them more than once in previous reviews), but also a lot better. 'Love on a Limb' was not an awful film to me, but there was nothing really special about it at the same time and somewhat middle of the pack. Donovan and Marilu Henner fans will be delighted, anybody who isn't so keen on Williams are not going to be converted watching her performance here. Donovan is in no way one of 'Love on a Limb's' issues. In fact he is the best aspect, his easy going and understated performance gave the film a lot of charm. Henner sparkles in a zesty yet also sincere turn. Her and Donovan's characters are the most interesting and easiest to connect with characters. The supporting cast are solid. 'Love on a Limb' looks lovely too, especially the colourful scenery. The music is pleasant enough too, not being constant or too loud. There are charming, light hearted and heart filled moments. Williams however really doesn't work. She overacts dreadfully as an increasingly annoying and neurotic character, one that has flaws that are exaggerated with no signs of real growth, and has the same overdone mannerisms throughout the film. Some not making sense within certain scenes (including a fixed wide smile in scenes meant to be emotional). She and Donovan's chemistry lacks spark and is both underwritten and too low key, with any developments being too late and rushed. Story-wise, 'Love on a Limb' certainly has moments, but it is also very formulaic with nothing fresh and also suffers from a lack of tension (other than some strained and under-cooked conflict that never convinces) and a very over simple and too pat ending that didn't feel deserved. It also can drag. The script does not always flow and can be cheesy. In summary, watchable but very average. 5/10.

Marilu Henner's portrayal of a mother caught between protectiveness of her daughter and living with her own loss, was intriguing. Ashley Williams as the daughter is convincing as a do-gooder tilting at windmills to run from her own pain. Also, the intertwining relationships of a small town are fun to watch.

Aimee Roarke is a woman who is used to getting her own way; an entitled hippy who has never been told no a single time over the course of her life. The only thing that makes her truly happy is the warped, frustrated old oak tree sitting in the middle of town. However, the tree is a continuous thorn in the side of the residents, as it has begun to destroy the local pipes. In a desperate act of war against the aging plant, the council appoints a hunky movie star to end the tree once and for all. However, Aimee Roarke cannot live without her precious oak, and begins to amass a legion of followers, spreading vitriol about the movie star to anyone who will listen. As chaos engulfs the town, she chains herself to the doomed deciduous, declaring that if the tree goes, she goes with it. Fearing scandal, the town reaches a compromise, and decides that turning the pipes into a gaudy jungle gym above ground will solve all their problems. Aimee Roarke falls in love with the hunky movie star she hated only a few days before, and the town returns to a state of tranquility. Tune in next time for the exciting sequel, where a windstorm blows the oak tree down onto the jungle gym pipe sculpture.

She is sooo over dramatic! She SMILES like there's nothing more important in the world, yet she looking at a snow globe... SHE'S HORRIBLE! Hallmark could do so much better than her,!!
