I could've done without the B couple. Also, the main character's fear of not leaving the place where she was born was never really explored or given any depth, which could've been solved by cutting the B couple from the movie and giving more development to the main leads. Also, the film tries to lean in to the "small city has a close knit community" but we never really get to see it in the movie. This could've been solved if, you guessed it, we didn't have the useless B couple.

Jen has always made great movies, but oh how frantic can one girl be. Whining, afraid, unsure... She never stops. It just isn't pleasent or enjoyable to watch her being so manic. We want to take a break and enjoy a movie, not get anxiety from watching.

This would have been a much better movie had Amy Groening been the lead instead of Jen Lilly. Far more energy and charisma. I thought the male leads were fine but their parts were written a bit stilted.

What shocked me is that Hallmark actually let characters be from some place in Canada, a first in my experience.

Banff was the real winner here as people glimpsed at least a very small taste of why it is so popular.

Give Amy some lead roles. Jen looked pale and a shadow of herself and maybe she is just done for this format of movies.

Update: I initially a gave this movie 4 rating, but I have it another chance because I like the actors so much. It really grew on me. Once I realized Jen Lilley's character is supposed to be that way, I found the whole thing fubny.

Original: The scenery was beautiful. I really was looking forward to this movie since I really like Jen Lilley and Chris McNally and the commercias were good. The Jen Lilley character was so whiny. Amy Groening and Rodrigo Beifuss were the best part of the movie.

Alberta has amazing mountain scenery, but Banff does not have the Calgary hotel, which was seen peaking behind the hotel they went to tour (and not the famous Banff Springs). The early film had the group driving from Calgary to Banff a rather bumpy road. What I do know is the highway to Banff is anything but bumpy. It's too bad the film makers can't get facts right.
