Oh where to begin...the acting was so-so. The story seemed alright. The characters had cute moments...where things went awry was near the end. Spoiler alert- "oh by the way I've been helping you search for your adopted sibling this entire movie but never once mentioned I'm adopted too and don't know who my biological parents are". Really!? And don't worry! She's reacting in a totally nonchalant manner to finding out she's adopted because she really did know this entire time, apparently it just wasn't important to the entire plot line of the movie until the last 5 minutes. This is one of those bait and switch moments. The writing isn't clever, the writers just don't give you the information you need. At the very least I thought they'd make it Gretchen's husband, but oh no, they went for the gold. This movie is too full of people not giving up plot points until their cue. Like at the bakery. Again, she KNEW Melissa was looking for her sibling and apparently knew everyone in town but never once asked who Melissa's mother was. Then all of a sudden it happened upon her like a surprise moment. Right. For a small town no one seems to know anything yet they all seem to know each other.
This movie had potential. But I can only give it 4 stars because it had way too many flaws. Please skip this one! It's bad!
