Love and Sunshine

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. I had low expectations about this one. But decided to give this a chance anyways. It started as every other Hallmark movie ever does. But the fact that these characters meet because of a dog? You got me there. The chemistry between the leads was great! And they managed to surprised me. There is one scene which makes you forget for few minutes that you are watching a Hallmark production. That's the pivot point of the movie and it was amazing!

The ending is kind of different to what we are accostumed to but different is good. Definitely worth a watch.

(My only big problem was the mom? Is she old enough to be the mother of the lead? come on Hallmark)

I wish Hallmark continues to make films like this. One where someone can relate to something, where not everything is perfect, but still makes you feel good.

The chemistry between the main characters were great. Ive seen most of the movies that Danica is in and this is by far the best one.

The owner of a nursery (Danica McKellar) is fostering a dog named Sunshine, whose owner (Mark Deklin) is deployed in the Middle East. At the end of his tour, he comes home and makes arrangements to pick up Sunshine.

Each of them is smarting from a being dumped by their last significant other, and both are dealing with ambivalent emotions because of their break-ups. But they have one thing in common--a love of Sunshine. This is a good setup for two genuinely nice people whose paths intersect. And the two lead actors have an affable chemistry.

This is an enjoyable Hallmark romance that unfolds naturally and allows the characters to establish an authentic-feeling relationship, not relying only on clever lines or mysterious coincidences.

I have seen every Danica Hallmark movie. This one is by far her best one yet. I have already watched it twice. This movie seriously has everything! It is just a heart warming and feel good movie. It doesn't have that usual Hallmark cheesy tone to it.(I'm addicted to Hallmark movies so obviously I love the cheesy themes). All the characters had great chemistry together and not just the main characters. So far this has been THE best summer hallmark movie to date. You get a sweet slow build love story, an adorable dog, a man in uniform and great family scenes.

There is nothing quite like a mom telling you when you are screwing up. Even though we saw pictures on how the story ended, I wouldn't mind a part 2. Hallmark has set the bar high for this one and I'll be hard press to find another hallmark summer movie that holds a candle to this movie. This might seriously be the absolutely best hallmark movie I have seen, if not the best it's definitely in the top 5. It is without a doubt the best hallmark movie if 2019(so far).

Danica McKellar and Mark Deklin are a perfect casting match And bring the story to life through authentic top notch acting. Kudos to Hallmark for showing a positive role models for military service people and smart independent women business owners. I like movies where adults are shown as reasonable people vs. always off the deep end. Even the protagonist in the movie comes to his senses which I liked. Good story and a highly recommended watch for a nice date night.
