    Good plot, poor casting

    The movie deserves a solid 6, but I would have rated it higher with a different male lead. He is way to passive / boring compared to female lead. Besides this, the plot is very good!

    Great love story with two great actors

    Loved the whole story and have been back watching over and over. I thought casting was wonderful and very believable and just a well done job by the stars

    The Movie You Shouldn't Miss

    From the Hallmark look-alike studio called PixL which you probably didn't know about because they never release a trailer on YouTube, comes a surprisingly good movie about a fireman and the singer he saves from a burning building. If that sounds too trite, it's not. Really. Alona Tal's professional singing and Ethan Peck's deep listening gazes invites us on a love-struck journey of two very different people who share very much the same likable attitudes. Love story? Heck yeah! But what's not to love? Seriously, I know it's like from the same studio and all, but this was way better writing than most of the stuff Hallmark puts out...

    Worth watching once.

    I liked the actress who played the young pop-star on the comeback trail. I also liked her character. She was strong and not a doormat to her bully of a manager. Ethan Peck was too oddly handsome and I didn't detect any chemistry with his co-lead. He was notably lacking in personality which as strange because his back story was well developed and his family in the show was charming. The cast and the plot were great. it was something a little off the beaten Hallmark track, which I have found is to be expected with Pixl shows. Some of the plot lines could have been developed a little more with an extra 15 minutes.

    good but disappointing

    I liked the story - while predictable it was still good and just different enough from the rest of the hallmark movies. ethan peck did a good job but I was disappointed by alona tal. I've seen her and enjoyed her in other things but felt she didn't really connect with this character. and we were disappointed because the version we saw did not show her singing.
