The cast was good, the acting was great, slightly weak story, improbable, but enjoyable.

It is a decent film for family viewing.

My advice - watch this movie, just don't overthink it.

Jocelyn Hudon does a fine job as the female lead, and she has a fun chemistry with Ryan Paevey. As usual the best part of this movie are some of the supporting actors, like Derek McGrath from Doc. And the actress playing the girl that's destined to lose, Kelly Kruger, is incredibly beautiful.

Here's the thing.. I liked Jess and Ted and I love the actors that portrayed them. But this story/script would have been of more use to me if I set it on fire to light kindling in my fireplace. Real talk. I should have known when I paused it an hour in and got distracted by TikTok and YouTube for an entire hour before I remembered I was watching this. True story. I know Hallmark's formula is to wait until the last moment and 99% of the time I'm totally on board with that. But this was unacceptable. I didn't watch a romance. I watched a friendship, a sham of something that was supposed to resemble a relationship, then a 10 second flash forward clip of what we should have been watching for at least the last 30 minutes of runtime, if not the last hour of runtime. This movie is an absolute joke. And I love for their to be some actual conflict in Hallmark movies but this movie overplayed its hand. Fire whoever wrote it. Ugh. I should've hard passed on this one. Regrets.
