If you enjoyed a movie like The Love Letter with Campbell Scott and Jennifer Jason Leigh, you will enjoy this movie as well. It's sweet, gentle and bit sappy, but I was nearly crying at the end.
... View MoreI usually skip most TV movies these days because they're cheaply made with bad acting.Lifetime movies don't impress me at all and I refuse to watch them anymore.The Sci Fi channel will only make a decent movie once in a while with the gap between the good ones and the bad flicks getting wider and wider. I skip most of these as well.Hallmark can make a schmaltzy film like the rest of the television networks, but they do much, much better than many.....Why?I don't have the answer, but most of their movies are regarded by many as a much higher quality than so many other channels and this movie was no exception.It was really good.Edge Of The Garden reminded me instantly of The Lake House with Sandra Bullock. That movie however confused the heck out of me and after seeing it a couple of times, I still don't get it.Then, this movie had some aspects of Somewhere In Time with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve.Not quite the same as either of those, but similar.This made for television story was done very well. A young woman from 1960 can somehow talk to the man who now lives in her house 50 years later.Any more than that would be spoilers.It's definitely a chick flick, but one of the better ones.Don't miss this. You'll be glad you didn't.Well worth the watch!
... View MoreI only got the chance to watch The Edge of the Garden this afternoon. This movie was actually good. I loved the idea that they (Brian and Nora) could actually talk to each other in person.I think I'm drawn to movies like this one because of the vintage aspect to it. I just love the clothes and the cars.On a side note, this movie also reminded me a lot of the Philippine movie: Moments of Love back in 2006 starring Iza Calzado and Dingdong Dantes. If you guys loved this movie, I suggest you try watching the movie Moments of Love.
... View MoreIn the tradition of Somewhere in Time, Kate & Leopold and The Gate House, Edge of the Garden reminds me of another very similar time travel romance movie from Hallmark Hall of Fame. When I first saw The Love Letter (1998), I decided that time travel romances were my absolute favorite, and this movie did not disappoint. It may be similar in structure but, in its own romantic way, it stands on its own. Keep up the good work, Hallmark – I hope you make more of these types of movies! Only one question - can roses and hyacinths bloom at the same time? A beautiful garden played a key center point in bringing the main characters together. At one point during the movie, it was mentioned these two flowers were blooming simultaneously. Hyacinths are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, and roses, as well as most of the flowers mentioned, are not early spring blooming. A very trivial point, considering this classic movie also deserves to be part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame.
