All of My Heart (2015)
Estate Inheritance Law and Romance within the Family
An entitled recently fired wall street worker inherits a house in the country with a woman. Are they related? Unknown. The woman is a former restaurant worker who dreams of being a chef. They both have troubled pasts that the movie fails to address directly but it is clear that they both have trauma that likely needs to be addressed by therapy. They both end up moving into the house together because they have both lost their jobs. Over time the Wall Street worker is able to convince the restaurant worker that they can be together. The two turn their inherited house into a moderately priced bed and breakfast after struggling greatly to fix the house up. Through their struggles they become romantically involved. It is still unknown whether they are related. Although the two struggled with their relationship and home repairs the plumber was always there to help with both. The plumber didn't get enough credit for all the things he fixed i their lives. This movie was indeed a hallmark movie. I liked the scene where gabby the goat interrupts the Wall Street workers call with his former partner. The partner is so appalled that the former Wall Street worker is near a goat that he exclaims they need to get him back to New York.

October Kiss (2015)
A Heartwarming Halloween Hallmarker on Overcomes Adversity
This tale follows the life of a woman struggling with mental illness who becomes a nanny for emotionally repressed children of a widowed tech mogul. At times this story was uplifting and I particularly enjoyed when the children gave their father a performance review on his ability to be their father. Thankfully he passed but barely. I wasn't happy with the lack of diversity in this hallmarker but it was made in 2015 which is well before hallmark recognized the issues with diversity in their films. In the end everyone gets what they want and that's why I enjoyed the film.
