Maybe Hallmark Movies & Mysteries mean the movies are a mystery to me. This is one of those movies that sounds fine on paper but is a little confusing in reality.

Gwen (Lindy Booth) is an appraiser for an auction house. When Alan Hawthorne (Vlasta Vrana) decides to sell his house and everything inside, Gwen gets the job to auction it all. She has to work with Reed (Justin Bruening), who owns the company that will clean the house.

While the main story is about Gwen and Reed preparing the house for sale, the side story about Gwen trying to raise enough money to buy the auction house is weird. Her boss, who I assume also owns the business, seems to want to sell it to her but he also wants to accept the highest price tag no matter who is paying. Of course, this sets it up for Alan to sweep in and buy it all for her, which is also weird. I think this might have ended better if Gwen decided to start her own auction house or appraising business instead of relying on either her boss to give in or someone else to foot the bill.

As for the main story, it’s fine. I wasn’t particularly taken by either of the lead characters but I’m sure there are people out there who think they are amazing. They both seemed very bland to me. I would have liked it better if one of them was a little more excited about things. Gwen kept talking about how she loved appraising things but we never really saw that. Reed kept talking about families and traditions but, again, we didn’t see anything like that.

I wouldn’t recommend watching this. Unless you are having trouble falling asleep. You wouldn’t have a difficult time dozing off while this is on.
