Loved the ending

When you have two dogs that are best friends you can't fight that. Yes I recommend it. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 11-18-2020

Amazing!

First review! OK, I'm gonna be honest, I judged "the book" by it's cover. The cover and synopsis didn't give away much and I have been delaying this movie since its premiere, and boy do I regret it?

I absolutely LOVED this movie. Of course it's Hallmark, so it has a few of their signatures but it's above average. The plot was good, the characters were good - you will see SO MANY familiar faces if you have seen several Hallmark movies - and it's a beautiful story.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much of a performance from both of the leads but they did an AMAZING job, their chemistry was outstanding and even the pre-ending drama makes sense. I'm actually happy about this movie, and I didn't even paused it once to check twitter, that's when I know i'm into it.

The dogs did such a good job, they made me smile more than once, they make this movie special - little Gidget even reminded me of my dog, I somehow felt part of it -

It's SO worth the watch, you will finish it with a smile on your face.

Now -SPOILERS- There might have been a few predictable things, like Gidget's story, whether she leaves or not, but i'm so happy that for once, Hallmark decided that the GUY would make an important decision about his job, his old life because he is falling in love - with a woman, with a new style of life, with a city and it's people - I've seen so many women in these movies do that, I'm glad it was the guy's turn.

ALSO, excuse me if mistakes are made.

Just your generic hallmark movie

Overall this is not the best hallmark movie I've seen but the dog stole the show

Very cute, very smart.

Still watching, don't want it to end. Beaches, dogs, smart attractive people. Fun movie.

Funny and worth a view!

This is an amusing film with excellent acting and a fun script. There are loads of familiar faces, gentle humour and funny situations. Definitely a rainy day winner and recommended highly. One caveat - some bits are a bit tiresome in the romantic comedy genre but the actors make it very amusing nevertheless. Enjoy!

p.s. It's = it is, NOT its.

Good use of over 30s, 50s and dogs

Our whole family enjoyed this movie. The dogs are featured well and two generations of adults are represented nicely. In a cheerful way, themes of overcoming pain/loss/rejection etc are covered, so I think most viewers will relate to the plots.

Adore

This is absolutely one of my favorite Hallmark movies. I wish they would play it on the Hallmark Channel more, but I don't think I've seen it in a couple of years; thankfully, Hallmark movies now have it, and I can watch it whenever I want. The two dogs, Gidget and Simon, are so sweet and cute. Christy and Keith, the main leads, have incredible chemistry, and I enjoy their banter. I also enjoy all the other characters within the story. Her mom, the secret admirer, her friend and assistant, and of course, the boyfriend and then ex-boyfriend veterinarian. I always get a kick out of the scene when Christy runs into her ex Jeff at the dance.

I could watch this movie daily.
