Charming

Lacey Chabert is quite likeable and a good actress. Ektor Rivera is cute, in his own peculiar way. (I keep thinking Hector.) It is a tired script that HM has used time and time again, but the scenery was breathtaking. There's that and the brother was so nice and outgoing, I was thinking he would be her love interest, then they introduced his husband. Kind of ended that possibility real quick. So although it was a tried and true rehash of events , it still kept you guessing a little bit.Another reviewer said Lacey Chabert reminded them of Jennifer Love Hewitt and I didn't think of it before, but it's true! She really does!To sum it up, I'd say this was an okay film. I enjoyed it.

People are being very pernickety about this film. I think you just have to accept certain things when you watch a Hallmark film, rather than pointing out all of the little issues along the way.I thought this was a good film, with Lacey Chabert as always being safe pair of hands where this sort of material is concerned.There were some nice twists on the usual Hallmark format I thought, and the two things that make or break a Hallmark film for me (good chemistry between the leads, and a good story) were both in place.I think films like this are trying to bring people joy and escapism and it did that for me.
