There's a good movie to be made here with this storyline, but this isn't it.
What is essentially a sorrowful drama has all the dramatic edges smoothed away with a Hallmark touch.
It feels like it has half a dozen scenes missing that could've helped me feel more for the characters.
The acting is a little off the mark. The 2 leads struggle with their characters, both lacking nuance in their role.
This kind of movie has been done before in Hope Floats and most Nicholas Sparks novels and could have worked with a defter hand on the tiller.
