What a pleasure to watch. Just the right mixture of suspense and romance. You have to hate the "bad guy" who is thoroughly despicable and root for the hero who initially appears to be a bit of a cad. Some reviewers say the ending was contrived but I found it hopeful and yes, charming. The ex fiancé was cold and I was happy to see Brian shed of her. If you like love, fantasy and hope seamlessly blended together, give this movie a go!!!

For those curious, this reviewer has been quite harsh in discussion of Canadian films, especially those pretending to be about somewhere else, or someone else, or anything else than what the film actually is.This could be the exception that proves the rule. On the surface a typical low budget Canuck flick shot in BC but (astonishingly) pretending to take place in Maine, chockablock with delightful Canadian small town sets, starring actors you may never see again in your lifetime, many of whom have not quite managed to hide that distinctive Canuck accent.So aside from lack of pretence, what is there to actually recommend this film? A really neat story, mainly. Similar perhaps to some of the "time travel" romance movies that have been done before (the classic is Matheson's BID TIME RETURN, filmed under a different name) but yet different enough to be entertaining and still hold the attention.Yes, Hollywood could do a better job. But this one 'aint bad at all.

I love this movie. It's a true romance. I found the movie on the Hallmark Channel and recorded it several months ago. Finally got a chance to see it today. I'm shocked I hadn't heard of it before.The best part of this movie is that the romance doesn't include any sex scenes. Instead, it's a true love story that isn't drippy or crass. This movie satisfied the romantic in me without being embarrassed while watching. It's a movie even my husband (the Marine) would watch. I want a garden like that.Of course it didn't hurt that the main character is very handsome and easy to look at. The acting is well done and very believable. I can't wait to find more movies with the some of the same actors.

I only got the chance to watch The Edge of the Garden this afternoon. This movie was actually good. I loved the idea that they (Brian and Nora) could actually talk to each other in person.I think I'm drawn to movies like this one because of the vintage aspect to it. I just love the clothes and the cars.On a side note, this movie also reminded me a lot of the Philippine movie: Moments of Love back in 2006 starring Iza Calzado and Dingdong Dantes. If you guys loved this movie, I suggest you try watching the movie Moments of Love.
