Watch the Trailer for The Heiress and the Handyman Our Thoughts on The Heiress and the Handyman For a comprehensive review, be sure to tune into our podcast episode where we dive deep into all the details. First Impression Our first impression of The Heiress and the Handyman? Well, the Dollar Tree fall decor was the only clue indicating this was a fall movie. Additionally, we were puzzled by the character June’s wig, which became a constant distraction throughout the film. What We Liked There were a few things we appreciated: Corey Sevier and Jodie Sweetin: Both actors delivered solid performances given the material they were handed. Their individual talents helped keep the movie afloat. Community Theme: One of the elements we enjoyed was how June, played by Jodie Sweetin, found a sense of community and family in the small town. Despite her initial struggles, she began to immerse herself in her new surroundings, which was a redeeming aspect of the storyline. Fall Vibes Attempt: At least the film made some effort to provide fall vibes with a festival, pie contest, and some fall foliage B-roll shots. While not the most convincing, it was better than no attempt at all. What We Wished For Several aspects of the movie left much to be desired: Character Depth: Rich is not a personality trait, and unfortunately, June was portrayed as a very one-dimensional character. We learnt about her lavish lifestyle, but not enough about who she really was. Romance Between Bart and June: The romance felt forced and lacked substance.
