English Estate

Not a lot about this plot made sense. A young woman is the last distant relative of a man who owned an enormous English country estate. The place they showed in the film would go for tens of millions of dollars. She expects to sell it in a week?

Then she found out her distant uncle ran a furniture crafting business, which evidently hadn't been producing much product lately. How was he paying the upkeep on the enormous estate? He certainly didn't leave her a flush cash inheritance to help out with that.

Then she meets the guy who ran the business for her uncle, and her uncle left him the furniture business. But again, there doesn't seem to be much furniture being produced.

Of course, the two get off to a rocky start and he sabotages her showing while she tries to sell the place. But after that they start to get along?

My wife and I finally had enough when the writers had him put on a pair of Wellies to ride a bike into town for lunch at the pub. Hint: that is NOT when you wear Wellies, which are for tromping through mud and worse out in the fields.

Quite simply, nothing about the script, plot or dialogue, rang true for us ... and while American ... we've traveled to England a few times and stayed with friends on farms.

Sad, because when I saw the title, I had better hopes for this movie.
