It was not a great movie and surely not a good rewatchable one. The whole love story felt forced and that is not a great thing to watch. The two leads were just okay but when you have the other characters have to force each of them to get together that did not make me root for them. It follows many of the romance movie tropes but when acted out well you barely mind seeing it. The sister was too pushy. I understand that she wanted her brother to find love again but she left a footprint on his back. The female lead looked like this was her first role. The male lead didn't brood but sulked. I wanted this movie to be one that I would come back to but alas it will not be.

Going to an island after having your heartbroken is one thing but finish what you start before starting something else. The story moved in too fast a pace for this "love" to be a thing. ONLY 10 DAYS?!?! I've seen leftovers last longer before it turned. So she was married for 10 years and in 10 days she supposedly mended a broken heart and fell in love with someone else. I just... I don't... what?! The lead male is very good looking but lusting after someone who is supposed to be an empty shell, come on! I don't think I have ever used this many exclamations in a brief review. Oh, and some of the songs chosen were not good.

Most people are looking for the normal Hallmark formula but then often those are also complaining about the storyline. There was a lot to the story which made it seem that if written differently it might have made a good series of movies. The flashbacks were what made the story different from the standard movies but those are what would cement the idea of how people could fall for each other in a few weeks time. There needed to be more storyline for the current love interests for the movie to have been great. Overall, a good watch.

The movie followed the usual tv romance formula and it was flowing along but as usual it all comes down to the kiss. That was not a great thing to watch. He basically lunges at her face it was like seeing a pre-teen kiss. Blech! All face and no finesse. It is not one for my favorites list or as a repeat go-to watch.

And just because I did didn't mean that I liked it to the end. I have a great fondness for romantic movies but this was just basic. There was no nothing that made me want to watch it again. I'm not sure if it was the writing or the acting that made me feel this way and I wasn't expecting a blockbuster presented in a tv movie. It had all the generic tropes in these types of movies. Dancing in the kitchen while making something that is supposed to be spectacular. It had way too many almost kisses. Jumping to conclusions based off of limited information and then the revelation that what they really wanted was at home all of the time. BLECH!!!

Why didn't they just back the truck up instead of getting out? Why is there so much scrap metal in a country town? Why were there only a few small monitors in a NATIONAL Weather Institute? Where did he get those two buckets of fluid and a electronic box with poles? Why did the boy have his leg over the metal that was crushing his arm? Why did that metal look like flimsy sheetrock? And finally, WHY DID I WATCH THIS? I was looking for a deliciously bad disaster film and I almost got it.

I think that the last few minutes of a romantic movie determines whether it is a hit or a miss. This was almost a hit but the kiss was lacking the chemistry that is supposed to culminate in fireworks, figuratively or literally. Both leads were into the premise but not the romance, if that makes any sense. Overall, it was a good watch.

I couldn't get past the horrible meet cute to care about watching the rest.

The research librarian that wears 6 inch stiletto boots and a fuzzy fur coat while driving long distance? She looked more she was going to a nightclub. I am a true fan of romantic movies but this one was hard to even get started.

It is very rare that I don't finish movies generally and even more so when it is a romantic movie. There was so much about the storyline that I was verbally angry about (Why was there a food tray in front of a person just coming out of a coma?, Why didn't anyone question why they weren't living together?) I continually paused it to do other things rather than watch this contrite crap of a movie. I couldn't stand the female lead character. She was ditzy and did made me angry more than sympathetic to her plight. I just had to quit watching it to calm my blood pressure.

I really wanted to like this and I tried. I was looking for this movie for quite some time because the preview looked appealing. The male lead wasn't very good and seldomly blinked which was quite off-putting. Some of the dialogue just didn't make sense. How can she make such claims on his character as "always" being deceitful when she's known him for two weeks? Overall, it was okay at best.

This is the lowest that I have ever given a Hallmark movie. It left far too much to be desired. The whole fashion this made me upset. I love formal dresses and those garbage dresses looked off the rack. I wasn't even interested in the final kiss. The characters didn't gel and it just looked like it needed a rewrite or a new director. I look forward to Hallmark movies but this one... UGH!

It was very good. I liked both of the leads. It is always a problem for me when I see Amy Schull, I automatically think of Jodie Sawyer. But I digress, I thought the movie's plot was well done. There were a few production issues that I had. She was stuck into a closet and charged a ridiculous amount for it. That felt like a code violation. Aside from that, it was a good movie.
