7.9 stars.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but the story requires a well developed back story to deliver full effect. Once the background is clarified, the film takes on a whole new meaning and becomes quite entertaining and well rounded.

There are four fully developed characters. I was impressed they were able to develop all of them the way they did. The young man is the least developed of the four however, they found ways to bring out his personality, and it was genius. The young woman is a bit more developed, and then the mom and dad are basically the main characters.

What seems very strange to me, is watching the evolution of two major Hallmark actors, becoming "older". In other words, this was the first transition for them to become middle-aged characters. I find it a bit unnerving, because I've been watching 15 years of them portraying adults in their thirties and early forties, but this is a transition into older adults with adult children. It feels weird mainly because it reminds me of my own age and how these two actors, younger than myself, are not so young anymore. I digress.

Wonderful story. It's really great at the end. Adorable and vulnerable characters. It doesn't get much better than this.
