    It's a good romantic free-for-TV movie

    It's a cute little romantic movie.

    The acting's good. The storie's good. It's not going to win an Oscar or anything, but is something nice to watch when nothing else is on. I recommend this movie.

    charming

    As romantic comedies go, this was a cute and winning one. I thought that the writing could have been stronger to build up the final connection a bit better, but that is not a huge tripping point. But, Amanda Detmer and Scott Wolf give nice performances and are as charming as ever. These are two of my favorite actors, and I was just glad to see them cast as romantic leads. I hope to see them cast in more projects soon.

    Overall, this movie won't change your life, but is is sweet, warm and winning. Not a bad thing to be at all.

    Pretty standard issue, I'm afraid.

    *Potential spoilage.* Don't get me wrong! It was suitably light-hearted. But, equally predictable, and less-than-riveting. I mean; when is the last time you heard of a romantic comedy where the guy DIDN'T get the girl? Two-point-five stars, from me.

    Loved it

    Love Scott Wolf he should try to break back the original cast of Party of Five and do a family movie. Just saying
    Lovekitten

    The cutest romantic comedy film ever made for Television!

    The movie is about a divorced dad who only gets to have his kid for holidays, and a divorcée mom who always have to send her daughter to her dad at holidays. they meet at the airport, but the love story doesn't begin until a year and a half later. It shows a realistic POV on divorced parents, with a fantastic romance in between. Scott Wolf is adorable even if he doesn't really look like a father. and the woman is gorgeous. everything that can go wrong in this story - goes wrong. it doesn't matter if the end is predictable because you have so much fun watching them fall in love. I give it a 5 out of 5, keeping in mind of course thats its a TV flick.
