I decided I owed my wife one and watched, not one, but two movies on Hallmark with her. This movie was OK, slightly below average for this type. It was also odd in that the father was something of a screw-up (I seem to remember 4 stupid things he did). Also, although I often complain about too-clever writing that makes the rest of us feel like dullards (forgetting that professional writers may have spent weeks coming up with the witty banter), this movie had everyone in it with almost no witty lines. They were so ordinary, they could have been my family! The last time I saw attractive leads who had no witty lines and sort-of-ordinary lives was in "Dante's Peak". Still, I came away with a slightly positive feeling about the film.
