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

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

aksqwhite It was one of my favourite movies It was the best storyline the romance was fantastic

foxielives I loved the first All of My Heart. Like others, I felt like the house itself was one of the characters. I looked forward to the sequel to see what was going to happen. But, I have to say, I was pretty disappointed. It was hard to get into it from the very beginning. The house, which brought Jenny and Brian together in the first place, was not the same! How can you do a sequel of a movie which centered around a particular house, and then have the house be different in the sequel? It makes no sense. I think that without the house being available, the script writers needed to make a different house part of the script. It would have been sad to think that the first house was destroyed by an electrical fire due to old, faulty wiring; but, at least it would have made some sense. To have Jenny and Brian stand in the new house in the "spot where we first kissed" just didn't work. It was the same with the goats. I'm sure there would have been some other white goats around. Anyway, early after opening the B&B, there was this fire. With the insurance money, Jenny and Brian were able to purchase another place which they were now having to fix up again, but it was costing more than they anticipated, especially with the storm and all. That way, all the repairs going on in the sequel would have made more sense because the first house was basically ready to go; except for the faulty wiring, of course. All the new expenses with the new house would have made more sense for Brian to have to return to New York to work for awhile. Jenny's whining was pretty annoying. Starting up a new business is hard any time, so sacrifices have to be made. Couples do it all the time. Jenny and Brian's friends were still there to rally around and help them with their new B&B. I was totally expecting Casey and Tommy to get together in the sequel. How could Casey always be saying there were no men around and not see Tommy? Anyway, I just wish the writers could have taken a leap and changed the whole thing to make it be about the "new" house and the challenges that came with that. As it was, the sequel was just kind of a rehash of the first one, only without the charm of the first.

darkavenger77 ... is not the different house or goats. It stems from the core of the relationship problem. Opening a B&B or starting a small business is a huge financial drain. Men go away for extended periods on occasion to provide for their family. For example, in the case of the US Navy, a deployment is 6 months. Brian going to work for several weeks- or even several months- would allow the business to have the necessary funds to operate. Of course, since this is a Hallmark movie it all turns out well in the end, but Jenny seemed awfully selfish and not understanding- especially when her supplier changed and she lost some of her limited income.It was refreshing to see a main male lead that didn't need a shave, although there were plenty of Guys Perpetually in Need of a Shave to be seen. The romance between the critic and the gigantor handyman dude was entertaining.

rebekahrox All of my Heart is one of my top five Hallmark romances thanks to the performances of Lacey Chabert, the very intriguing secondary characters ( Tommy, the goats, even Casey) and the brilliant comic stylings of Brennan Eliot. Just kidding, but seriously, he was really good!) The two leads had great chemistry and the script built the romance with just the right amount of humor, conflict, and relationship building. There were enough loose ends to make a sequel something I very much looked forward to. (Unlike 2other totally unnecessary sequels that leap to mind.) I especially was interested in more about Tommy. AoMH: Inn love was not a disappointment, I am happy to say. Lacey was as reliable as ever, and I still loved Brennan Eliot's character and his way with a line. As the two struggled to get their B & B up and running they met with more than their share of set-backs and expenses they could not afford. Brian's return to Wall Street to make money kept my interest. Predictably, this created the main conflict as the two protagonists felt themselves grow apart. Of course this was inevitable, but Lacey's passive aggressive sulking and pouting was a little hard to understand, considering the circumstances, and kind of made me hate her for a bit. There was more Tommy in the story, and I like the other side stories of the B&B blogger who was unexpectedly defanged, and the other guests. Yes, I can see another sequel on the horizon and I will be front and center. Some advice: Tommy needs to move on from his current love interest and needs to go back to the taciturn mysterious guy he was in the first one. It needs to be more about him next time, and Casey as well.
