I love Erin Cahill. At this writing, if I had to pick one rom/com star who is still active as my favorite it would be Cahill. But her last two efforts have left me disappointed. Christmas Bedtime Stories wasn't her fault, it was all the story. The story put her Danielle in a situation bound to hurt someone. In this movie, the story is again a problem. It has no creativity and is very predictable. The viewer holds on to hope that somehow the backstory mysteries will make it worthwhile, but that didn't happen for me. Meanwhile, Cahill's character Hazel's appeal is mixed. At the beginning, Hazel is a problem solver who never fails. She has the arrogance to go with it. As she and Diego spend time together, Hazel softens. By conflict time, Hazel makes a courageous decision but then becomes a wimp.
There is a secondary story about Hazel and her high school friend. This story has a nice flow but is squeezed in. It wasn't enough to spice up the whole.
Cahill and Marco Grazzini have chemistry but this also wasn't enough to raise the entire production out of the doldrums.
