This movie is cute enough considering it's Hallmark, but man oh man. This is literally a compilation of scenes from Parks and Recreation. Chipper blonde director of P&R, Aimie Rourke (nod to Amy Poehler??) in a small town is planning an upcoming harvest festival, and is distraught to discover that the mayor plans on cutting down the oldest tree in town. The love interest, Kyle Sorensen (Ron Swanson c'mon guys), the landscaper in charge of cutting down the tree, is a burly, off-the-grid man who is annoyed, yet charmed by Aimie's determination. There are many conversations that have been pulled from the TV show word-for-word, including the "steamroller" conversion between Leslie and Ann, and Aimie's demeanor could be described as the SNL impression of Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope.
It's extremely unoriginal and the romance plot is weak at best. However, if you've got a need for a high-budget Parks and Rec fanfiction where Leslie and Ron get together, you've got probably the only thing that would satisfy that.
