    Reviews are supplied by extras and friends - don't watch

    This movie was poor quality and a waste of time (it bordered on cringeworthy). We rented it because of the reviews and IMDb rating thinking it was a hidden gem. Read the actual reviews from film critics that are linked (wish we would have before watching) since those are more accurate. The extras in the movie and friends of the director, writer, producer, and editor (all the same fellow) wrote the IMDb reviews. I've never written an IMDb review before, but felt compelled given that the reviews are gamed. Plot was unbelievable and trite, the acting extremely uneven, and the direction was subpar.

    Who on Earth rates this higher then a 5?

    My wife and I took a flyer on this movie because with just under 100 votes, it was rated a 9.2 We had never heard of this title, and when looking at the details of it we also did not know any of the actors listed (should that have been a warning to us?) but thought 'we'll, why not?' We are always looking for decent movies to watch.

    Well, now we know those 96 votes must all be among the people in Saint Joseph Missouri where the movie was filmed on location or related to the actors cast in it.

    The actors are all no one you've ever heard of before and with the way they read their lines here you'll never of them again. We made it 30-45 minutes before we gave up and moved on. I don't recommend this one to anybody.

    Surprisingly pretty good!

    I don't really agree with the other reviews about this being a typical hallmark movie, but I'm not so much for super cheesy movies so I haven't seen a lot of those. This definitely didn't match the hallmark stereotype. I felt like it was a pretty unique story with decent acting, and a little bit of predictability. It wasn't as funny and well produced as The Proposal, but I would watch it again! There were a few clichés and cheesy sections, but overall a chill-feel good movie with a little bit of drama.

    The main character is a good actress... I'll be looking for other movies she's acted in. The fiancé on the other hand was not good in this movie, but it could've been the way the character written.

    Fine for What It Is

    This is clearly a very low budget local production, the kind of production where all of the extras are listed in the credits. I have seen quite a few of those in my time, and this one has its good points.

    The plot has some striking similarities to While You Were Sleeping, and a lot of the same feel. That is really something of a strength, albeit unoriginal. To say it is cheesy would be too obvious, but to me the real cheese was Swiss, as in holes in the story. Just don't think about this one too much and you will enjoy it more. In some ways that is a lot like your typical Hallmark movie, but I think this one is a bit more guilty.

    Aside from that, there is something to enjoy here. The lead actress does a good job in her role, even if some of what she does defies logic. The actress playing the fiancé is good as well, to the point that you hate her just like you are supposed to. Most of the other cast act well enough not to be a distraction.

    I actually liked the final act. Most of the "twists" are of course predictable, but it is still sweet and satisfying. Like I said though, just don't think about the explanations too much. If this came out of Hollywood, it would be a lower grade, but I have to give it a 5.

    Accidentally thought this would be entertaining

    We took a chance on this movie. My wife will endlessly watch Hallmark movies, so I suggested that we watch this movie.

    It started out with a tried and true premise. Single girl, hoping for love, fate bringing people together, but it didn't deliver an emotional connection.

    The acting was stiff and amateurish. Maybe the writing was partially to blame, but the actors either overreacted or were emotionless. The comedy was weak, while the pratfalls were not well done nor funny. Some of the circumstances that connected the characters were poorly scripted and acted. Hard to classify this as a comedy.

    My wife lost interest after ten minutes. I tried to hang on in hopes that it would improve. It continued in the same amateurish performance and we turned it off.

    Maybe it becomes more watchable, but we regretted losing the time we spent watching any of the movie.
