Eloise Mumford should be one of the Hallmark Queens by now. My initial reaction was that she was too beautiful to play a 6 year Marine vet, but she really captured the angst and confusion of her character.
Sean Faris' judge, on the other hand, was wildly unrealistic both in and out of the courtroom. I'm a lawyer and I've never seen a judge smile so much or behave so oddly in court. And, as other reviewers have noted, the townsfolk (and the staging) had a creepy Stepford/Body Snatchers feel.
There was also a line about how a local tree farm donates 1,000 trees to vets every year. That also seemed wildly unrealistic.
Still, there are some sweet moments and a great ending.
