Despite some common tropes, we liked this movie a lot. The romantic leads sold their roles, and though they didn't have a lot of screentime, seeing Patrick Duffy and Jacklyn Smith added an unexpected treat.
So here we have the "hidden identity", which of course leads to the "interrupted reveal", followed by the "betrayed love interest". Throw in the "struggling single mom" and "adorable kid" and you could have a recipe for "same old-same old".
Despite those cliches, we found the story to be fresh and the characters likeable and believable. The only part I though was a bit awkward were the leading lady's interactions with the news editor.
This is one we'll rewatch from time to time, and it's a major step up from most Lifetime offerings.
