I was initially drawn to this movie because of the name, Fall Into Winter. In our area, I feel like we did literally fall into winter. One day we were admiring beautiful red & gold leaves and the next we were looking at grey skies and bare tree limbs.
It didn't really happen overnight, but it sure felt like it! I keep wondering, where did our fall season go?
The second thing that drew me to the movie, "Fall Into Winter", was the actress, Lori Loughlin. I have always liked her and her characters. Thanks to her role as Abigail Stanton in When Calls the Heart, I'm used to seeing her in the kitchen, which is the setting for "Fall Into Winter". She co-owns a candy shop and makes all of the candy.
Last but by no means least, I wanted to watch this movie because it is a
Great American Family Movie. I have come to rely on the Great American
Family Channel to provide me with wonderful movies that do not include
explicit content, violent or gory scenes, or foul language. I find
them quite uplifting, peaceful and easy to watch.
Fall Into Winter Synopsis
Kerry Murphy (Lori Loughlin) doesn't like change. She is quite content co-owning the family candy shop with her brother. However, when her brother, Jake, informs her that his wife has taken a job in London, England and he is selling his half of the candy shop, she is very distressed. That distress is increased tenfold when he tells her that he has sold his share of the shop to his high school friend, Brooks McLeod. According to her brother, Brooks is a very successful businessman who will surely be able to help the shop.
Kerry isn't as much interested in profit as she is in the community. She has "lived in the same house, in the same town, and had the same job" her whole life. She doesn't want to make drastic changes, raise prices, or view people as just customers. She enjoys treating everyone like family.
Brooks and Kerry clash now as much as they did in high school, although Brooks doesn't really understand why Kerry has always had a problem with him. As business partners, it is necessary for them to work out their problems, past and present, to have a successful partnership.
Fall Into Winter is predictable, but still a fun movie to watch. Even though they had differences of opinion, they both worked toward finding areas of agreement and understanding for one another.
