Typical Danielle Steele, just easy watching on a rainy Sunday. EXCEPT...... Melissa Gilbert's accent is so awful it was totally distracting. The accent goes in and out, and even when it's in it is horrendous. I wonder why the director didn't just stop her after one or two days of shooting and tell her "You are ruining this movie with your horrible accent, just play it straight from now on." It seriously is that bad. When I first noticed it when she met the guy on the beach I thought the character was faking the accent (and badly) just so the guy wouldn't know who she is. Then I realized, nope, this is apparently the accent she'll have the entire film. Uggh. I mean, WHY?!?!?! Did no one on set have the nerve to say how awful she is? The story would have been perfectly fine without the accent.
Okay, I spent enough time on her horrible accent. Otherwise, the film was watchable and Brad Johnson and the girl were good/okay. But if you are a fan of Melissa Gilbert, I would skip this one. She's terrible and barely watchable.
