Generally speaking you can't go wrong with a Hallmark/Ryan Paevey combination on a movie night. This one is the exception. It seemed a vehicle for the actress playing the lead dealing with a medical issue. The romance was there but secondary until very late in the work. I have to believe that the issue with this movie is script and direction that was so inexperienced, uneven and inconsistent that even the actors could not lift this to the stars.
While I can make the stretch that the lead actress is an "esteemed astrophysicist" (and it is a stretch) how does that one character have such extremely long stretches of dialogue on parenting and child psychology?
Ryan Paevey's character of the father who curates the museum began the movie as a confident, consistent father figure who is having some issues with his boss. Far later in the movie than we would expect, he explodes/falls apart when he sees his daughter is upset. It doesn't make sense to bring on that chink in his armor so late or to make the potential astronaut scientist a child psychologist.
Hallmark movies are those that you want to watch over and over again, they were shooting for the stars here and missed. I don't want to watch it again.
