Love and Sunshine (2019 TV Movie)
5/10
What, no Lollipops?

I enjoyed this movie because it was fun to see Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years all grow'd up. Plus it was filmed at locations that are mostly familiar to me. Granted, I don't exactly know where Mckeller's client professes to live, but she appears to own a significant portion of Kitty Islet in Oak Bay. Which would be a neat trick if it were true.

But for heaven's sake, Mckellar is in her mid-40s. And her army boy Mark Deklin is even older. If I saw two friends of mine at that age acting like a couple of lovestruck teens I'd probably want to slap some sense into them.

Also, that guy is no more believable on a construction site than Richard Simmons. Check out the way he chokes up on the hammer when he's building that deck with McKellar. And the hard hats. Too funny.

Then there is army boy's mom, Bess Armstrong. She's only 14 years older than Deklin. It was a little creepy seeing a man that old asking his mom for dating advice. Oh, and what did mom do for a living because her house was easily worth $4-5 million. Not too many sons of millionaires joining the US Army, is all I'm saying.

And the basic premise and major plot points were lifted from a 2013 Hallmark movie called Be My Valentine, starring one of the Baldwins who have never fatally shot anyone on a movie set.
