I don't watch a lot of Hallmark - and I get the criticisms - but they do have some terrific actors and Finnegan and Mabius are among my favorites. (I watched another film he was in after seeing this and he was SO different. His comic timing and delivery are terrific. Dunno why they're not using him more in comedic roles.) Charming little story. Supporting cast were great too - especially the kids and Susan Hogan. Wish they'd make more with these 2. I'd give it a 10, but the story line was predictable and some of the supporting cast was a little weak. That said, I watch this every year when they run it.

And that's too bad cause it falls short of most Hallmark films I've seen. I like a lot of the actors so I watched. It lacked energy. I'm a big romcom fan, but this wasn't smart or interesting or fun or well acted or well written.....I thought my bar for romcoms was pretty low, but not this low.

Just never heard a lot about this, but I recently discovered Chris Evans - in a small film he directed. Really liked it and really liked this. Formulaic? Most films now require a leap of faith, but there are so few good films that are character driven. Loved the performances.
