Purely Joyful Movie!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Moonlight in Vermont has some charming moments, but too often the cast simply walks through scenes and delivers dialogue we've seen and heard 100 times before.Nice backdrop for the story. No performances that stand out. Lacey Chabert has some talent: It's allowed to shine through in maybe three of her dozen or so scenes. This is a poorly written/directed part for an actress capable of much more.The biggest negative is the so totally predictable story line. As soon as we're introduced to her character, and that of chef Carlo Marks, we know how the final scene will end.The overall plot had a chance: Better writing and direction might have gotten it there.

While I agree some reviews that this movie could have been stronger, I disagree with panning it. Do not forget that the purpose of a movie is to entertain, not always win an Academy Award. The interaction between the two principles is the usual banter, but great when you need a pick-me-up when your down. Also, the scene at the end when her father reveals a secret to Fiona is heartwarming. Watch this one when up need a good story to make you realize what is important about family and love.

Moonlight in Vermont is your typical country bad-city good, pretend boyfriend to make old boyfriend jealous, issues with dad Hallmark fare. The only thing to set it apart is good production values, cute setting, and the always reliable Lacey Chabert. Unfortunately she is not given too much to work with here. Her love interest is pretty cute as well and her step mother was a nice smart woman and not the source of tension or conflict. Her rejection of city life for stop to smell the roses country living was too quick and not well supported.

The title is what first attracted me to this Hallmark film because it seemed quaint, promising romance and fantasy. It delivered both and much more. Unlike some Hallmark movies, the narrative hung together with a cohesive story, conflict, setting and theme. I especially liked the interaction between Fiona and Nate starting as enemies and ending as lovers. My favorite scene was when Fiona and Nate had their first intimate contact when they slow-danced at the Maple Faire Dance-the twinkling lights and music set a beautiful, romantic scene and the song "Moonlight In Vermont" background soundtrack, sung by a Sinatra-like male, made the scene magical. I loved all the references to Vermont maple syrup and the old traditions like the food from the past being used as ambiance. The scenery is gorgeous in this movie. The inn, owned by Fiona's father, is so inviting, the viewer can't help but wish they could book a reservation for the holidays at this lovely hotel.
