This movie was extremely close to another Hallmark movie from 2015. I won't even say which one because naming it will give the ending away. Not that you couldn't see it coming from about half way through. There were many other common tropes. There were no great highs or lows or any surprises whatsoever. As is all to common in these movies, the conflict was a manufactured mountain out of a molehill.

This was a nice Hallmark debut for Christine Ko. I'd be happy to watch her again. She had good chemistry with Wes Brown who is pretty reliable in this type of movie. Their relationship was the one positive for this movie.

I didn't care for the characters of Carol and Chris. They were a bit overdone, but that was obviously an effort toward humor.

I've noticed some epic fails at times with Hallmark makeup in the past few years. Christine Ko's cheeks were way to pink several times - if it was intentional, then I guess I'm to far out today's fashions, but it seemed unusual compared to dozens of other similar movies. But worse than that was one of the early scenes with Wes Brown's cheeks that looked like they were recovering from too much sun, and not flattering.
