Love, of Course
Where Empty Nesting Leads to Unexpected Romance!"

If you love Hallmark Channel movies but wish they included more college campus strolls and impromptu fall festivals, then Love, of Course is your next cozy watch. This is a movie that proves sending your kid off to college doesn’t just give you empty nest syndrome—it also gives you a prime opportunity to find love.

Amy (Kelly Rutherford) is a devoted mom who drops her daughter off at college, expecting to return home to her very organized, very predictable life. But surprise! She ends up sticking around to help plan the university’s fall festival (because in Hallmark movies, every town, school, and coffee shop must have a seasonal festival). Enter Noah (Cameron Mathison), a charming professor who may or may not be the most handsome plant expert you’ve ever seen. Sparks fly between lesson plans and hayrides, and suddenly, Amy is rethinking everything—her career, her home, and her newfound appreciation for flannel-clad academics.

While this isn’t one of your classic Hallmark Channel movies with twinkling Christmas lights, it still checks all the cozy boxes: scenic autumn backdrops, slow-burn romance, and just the right amount of will-they-won’t-they moments (spoiler: they will). The chemistry is fun, the fall festival is delightfully excessive, and yes—there is at least one scene where someone gazes longingly at a pumpkin patch while contemplating their future.

Final Verdict:
If you love Hallmark movies and believe that true love can bloom between PTA meetings and pumpkin festivals, Love, of Course is your perfect feel-good fall watch. Just be warned—you may start looking at college professors differently. 🍂📚💕
