I really enjoyed this movie. Mostly. The actors are ones I enjoy, the characters I enjoyed, and I thought that the development of the relationship reasonably realistic.
But the last bit kind of ticked me off. Paul Campbell's character EXPLICITLY tells Rachel Boston's character that he doesn't want anyone seeing his video until he's ready. Sure, she was blindsided by her uncle, but in NO WAY is it her right to show him the video. The proper thing to do was to tell him that she can't show him the video. At worst, she should have apologized profusely to Kyle for getting flustered and showing her uncle the video. At best, she should have not shown the video at all.
And then she tries to justify it to Kyle, by telling him that she'll "push" him and "support him" all the time. What she means is that she'll make the decisions for him when a video is ready. What else will she decide for him? If I were him, I would not enter into a relationship with her without setting boundaries, which she clearly doesn't believe in.
This ending really annoyed me and made what could have been a really good movie into something only tolerable. I know that Hallmark MUST make some kind of conflict near the end of the movie, but this is pretty unacceptable. If a guy was making decisions like this for a woman, crossing boundaries, would people think it was acceptable? No? Then it shouldn't have gone this way either.
