This Hallmark movie started out hopeful. As other reviewers have mentioned the Hallmark formula gets a little old after a while, however, this was not the solution. The male interest started out ok, but he disappears completely in the storyline after an awkward moment where he pushes her hair back out of her face. I'm not a fan of the 'woke' term, but honestly, there are only so many issues you can champion in a single movie and the result is simply that you are trying too hard. And the sudden ridiculous appearance of the mother, who is close to the same age as her daughter and suddenly has lots to say. It just doesn't make sense. I couldn't finish this one.
