10/10
I loved it!

This has to be one of my favorite Hallmark movies! It still follows the formula of a guy and gal meeting, working toward a common goal, falling for each other, having a misunderstanding, and then working it out. When Anna and Clay first meet, they instantly dislike each other. He makes a mistake about Anna, which is actually very enjoyable to watch, so I won't spoil it. They work together to stop the wedding of Sean (Clay's dad) and Belle (Anna's aunt). Clay fears that Belle is just another gold digger and Anna doesn't think Sean truly loves her aunt. How could a famous actor fall for a regular person?

As Anna and Clay conspire to sabotage the wedding, they start to have feelings for each other. And the chemistry is definitely there! Eventually the two realize that Sean and Belle are meant to be and start supporting the wedding. At one point, Clay overhears something that Anna says over the phone. He jumps to conclusions and leaves to fly home. Sean thinks he left because of him, so Anna rushes to the airport to get Clay back for the wedding. She thinks he is just afraid to take a chance on love because of past hurt. Clay realizes he assumed incorrectly about Anna's phone call. They make up and attend the wedding. Then something else happens a year later. Go watch it!

There was something special about this movie. The chemistry between Anna and Clay was palpable. As was the connection between Sean and Belle. The way the couples looked at each other melted my heart. All of the attempted sabotage might seem preposterous to some, but I think Anna and Clay had good intentions. They didn't want their loved ones to get hurt. I also liked that all of the misunderstandings seemed realistic. AND the problems and behavior were addressed. Like when Clay runs off to the airport after his misunderstanding, Anna calls him out on that. Why didn't he just ask her what she meant? And one of my favorite things was a song that played during a couple scenes. It's one of those love songs that gives you chills. This movie left me in tears and with an uplifted heart. It made me feel like true love is possible at any age.
