The only redeeming thing I can think of with this movie is that a male is the lead character, not a female, so when I first saw this advertised, I was glad to see a different POV, hence my 2 rating instead of 1. However, within the first half hour I was just getting a creepy feeling about this one. First of all, I find it absurd that someone would hire a perfect stranger to buy a loved one a gift. Second, if this is feasible, I don't understand how anyone could make a living out of it, and third, I was feeling this character was more of a stalker than anything else. He followed the female character to her house and had a provocative photo of her on his wall with little post it notes about her likes and dislikes. I don't know. Maybe it was just me but I even watched it again, hoping I had an off night, but no, I felt he was a creepy stalker. I like Sam Page but felt there was no chemistry at all with the female lead. I've enjoyed all the new movies so far on both Hallmark channels, but this one, well, not so much.
