As far as Hallmark movies go this story line was very refreshing and easy to watch. The cookie cutter plots are typically painful to get through. Yeah there are never any surprise endings. It's always happily ever after. But how the movie gets there usually boils down to a small handful of scenarios. Big city boy or girl goes to small town for work or other reasons and ends up finding him or her self and meeting mr or mrs right on process and probably losing uptight workaholic gf or bf in the process. Some misunderstandings often inserted to make the journey from A to Z more entertaining. But generally from A or B you have the entire movie figured out.
Enter the 2 older characters and luke and jessica I wasnt sure what to expect. The actors were both on 1 Tree hill and Chad especially was flat and aloof and a wannabe James Dean in my opinion. The older dude was on Melrose place. I need not say more. Lolita and he had a super chemistry. I really enjoyed their part in the story
On that note the other thing made this more complex and interesting to watch was having a few main story lines. Not just boy and girl and their predictable love story and a few minor characters on the way who end up being just wallpaper.
I will not spoil anything about the story. The whole girl gets dumped in public had me worried but the events following were not remotely predictable in a Hallmark setting. Bravo. Of 100s of rom coms watched in my entire life this is in the top 5. Which is saying the other 95 are in the bottom 95 lol
Please watch this to restore your faith in a good romance movie.
