Review of Moonlight in Vermont

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.
