    Southern Romance

    The title of this film comes from the fact it revolves a rescue dog, which two families want to adopt. Single mother Kate Healy (Nikkie Deloach) and her daughter Sophia (Michaela Russell) set their sights on the rescue dog, Bruce, only to find that single dad Eric Smith (Michael Rady) and son Owen (Max Ivutin) also plan to adopt the adorable pooch.

    A decision to temporarily co-adopt leads to many interactions between Kate, who likes to think outside the box, and Eric, who is usually satisfied by the status quo. The first forty-five minutes showed no chemistry between the two, as backgrounds were established.

    Kate is a character that may not appear to everyone; she has a quirkiness that is Diane Keaton-like. But that personality is what really drives the story and gives it energy.

    The two child actors would seem to have a promising career in acting. They were not just child placeholders in the story. They felt integral to the story development.

    It was a nice change of pace that this Hallmark romance was shot in Savannah, GA.

    Beautiful City.

    The plot wasn't bad though I have to say I don't care much for the animal themed stories. What a backdrop though --for the good acting--in the city of Savannah. And And from what I read it was shot in January! It didn't look like winter at all. As for the teen girl with the prominent ears. Wowza.

    A nice sentimental film where a dog involves and is affectionate both with a boy and with a girl.

    Both children want it and the parents wisely decide to keep it on trial one day to make the dog decide who he chooses.

    The dog creates a beautiful friendship between the children and involves the parents in the most social activities.

    How will the ending be in your opinion?

    Un bel film sentimentale dove un cane coinvolge è affettuoso sia con un bambino e sia con una bambina.

    Entrambi i bambini lo vogliono e con saggezza i genitori decidono di tenerlo un giorno a testa in prova per far decidere al cane chi sceglie.

    Il cane fa nascere una bella amicizia tra i figli e coinvolgere i genitori i più attività sociali.

    Il finale come sarà secondo voi?

    What a great movie!

    Nikki DeLoach is one of my Hallmark favourites, but she had some movies that I didn't like so I didn't expect to like this one. As I was watching this movie, I came to love the characters, including Liam and Bianca. The officemates, the members of the PTA, the obedience school people and fur babies...

    The kids are adorable, and of course, Bruce is a charmer.

    The story may or may not be perfect, but it is enjoyable from start to finish.

    I love Ms. DeLoach's chemistry with Mr. Rady, and the story, like what most of the reviewers here said, is not your usual Hallmark Rom-Com.

    I would surely would love to see a wide screen version of this one with the same cast. Is that even possible?

    Well, if it isn't I hope more people would get to see this made for TV movie. I think even guys would like this one. It is very relatable, and the actors are very convincing.

    Anyway, these are just my feelings. I do not know if they would be helpful or not, but I just wanted to share how I felt after watching this movie.

    Thanks for your time.

    I loved this movie!

    I love Nikki deloach and all of her films but this one is my favorites. I loved the chemistry between the lead characters. The dog was too cute and the kids did a great job.
