If you're a fan of easy, Hallmark-type movies, this is one of the better ones. There's a lot to like here. The characters are likable, the acting is good, the story makes sense, the scenery is nice and it gets away from the usual trope of big city girl with jerk boyfriend goes back to the country and falls back in love with her high-school sweetheart, etc. There's a good use of music throughout the film, too. The opening was much different than the usual music montages, the background music is pleasant and the song at the end is pretty good and nicely performed. I would put this above a lot of other films you might see with larger budgets and better-known actors.

The acting is bad at times and OK at times. The story borrows a lot of well used plot devices. In this genre, it is common to stretch reality but this one stretches it a lot. The dialog is OK but not great.
Nina Kiri is probably one of the better actors but not totally consistent. She has chemistry with Connor McMahon who plays his role also with ups and downs. The agent was too much over the top, but I guess that's what the director wanted.
It looks like they had trouble avoiding rain especially in the long shots. There are a couple of shots of town with that foggy look you get with rain, but rain was never part of the script.
The movie climaxes with The Song which appears to be original. Brit McRae does a very nice job in the duet. McMahon sounds OK, but I can't see that he is known for his singing.
