Fair acting, Decent chemistry with Getenesh Berhe and Henderson Wade despite diluting that part of the story with too much other junk.
The setup for the fake relationship was a bit different, but after that the story was full of clichés. The only tension was in the story about Matt's father and that was totally repetition of many very similar story lines right down to the explanation for dad's long absence and silence. Hence me calling it other junk.
Some of the transitions seemed clumsy
A couple of reviewers commented that this fills a hole as far as lack of diversity actors in romance movies. I find that interesting because Lifetime and Hallmark have had a decent amount of diversity actors for several years, but that has really exploded in the last year or so. Admittedly, much of that expansion has been since Spring of 2021, but it's been building for far longer than that.
