I truly enjoyed this movie, especially because it didn't follow the same hallmark formula. We usually see a man or woman being sent on business to their home town which is always small and where everyone knows each other. There's either a run in with an old boyfriend or girlfriend that either starts out badly and ends up together with one kiss and then the movie immediately ends, or the person who went to the small town is dealing with trying to change something because of work, an argument ensues, they hate each other and then they fall in love which ends with one kiss before the movie immediately ends. This film had a whole different feel and a very different path telling the story. I thought the acting was very good and loved the deviation from the typical that I'm used to seeing with Hallmark.
