Movie: Falling Inn Love (2019) **

Falling Inn Love It is about a woman who suddenly looses her job, then wins an inn in close order. The inn is in New Zealand and when she gets there she finds its in terrible disrepair and has way too much pride to hire the local, handsome contractor to help her to restore it. 

I've had this movie saved on my Netflix watchlist for a while as a potential movie for my spring romance movie marathon. When I finally watched it it was a slapstick silly mess with people rolling off beds, dropping things down stairs, an intrusive goat, and of course the standard shelf that falls when someone leans in it. The story was interesting and I was getting into the characters, but the silliness was way too distracting. I was supposed to be amused, but I was just greatly annoyed.

• Cheesy or sentimental: Cheesy
• Production value: Good Mar Vista production 
• Suspension of belief: high
• Trope: Enemies-become-lovers-ish. Like I said, the story was interesting and I haven't been able to identify a trope that fits this movie well. 
• Diversity: Afro-Latina lead, interracial gay couple. They represented!
• Paranormal: there was a mention of a ghost, but I didn’t stick around long enough to find out if it played into the story. Although I suspect if i waited long enough the antagonist character would somehow fake a ghost so as to scare the main character away only to be foiled by the pesky goat. 
• Clownish character: About half the cast was silly and clumsy.

Rating: Not fun; Two stars **

I watched this movie on Netflix.
