I love Nikki deloach and all of her films but this one is my favorites. I loved the chemistry between the lead characters. The dog was too cute and the kids did a great job.

I love all of Nikki Deloach films but this one is completely becoming one of my favorites. The chemistry between the two lead characters was fantastic. The dog was cute and the children were fantastic.

The title of this film comes from the fact it revolves a rescue dog, which two families want to adopt. Single mother Kate Healy (Nikkie Deloach) and her daughter Sophia (Michaela Russell) set their sights on the rescue dog, Bruce, only to find that single dad Eric Smith (Michael Rady) and son Owen (Max Ivutin) also plan to adopt the adorable pooch.

A decision to temporarily co-adopt leads to many interactions between Kate, who likes to think outside the box, and Eric, who is usually satisfied by the status quo. The first forty-five minutes showed no chemistry between the two, as backgrounds were established.

Kate is a character that may not appear to everyone; she has a quirkiness that is Diane Keaton-like. But that personality is what really drives the story and gives it energy.

The two child actors would seem to have a promising career in acting. They were not just child placeholders in the story. They felt integral to the story development.

It was a nice change of pace that this Hallmark romance was shot in Savannah, GA.

I can admitt - it is just a beautiful film. Sure, using Hallmark recipe, proposing same familiar ingredients but, for acting, story, drawings, Power Point, dog and steps of romance, inspired humor and nice dialogues, having the gut to be more than you supose know about it.

It is a story about adulthood, well crafted, well told, well exploration of legends, sky, love and friendship. And admirable demonstration of kids importance for a fair story.

Short, just charming, good chemistry and touching characters and wise dose of realism.

Good acting, wonderful chemistry between the leads (although Nikki looked WAY older than the Love Interest. Can you do a better job with that, Hallmark?), and any story where an animal is rescued is tops. But honestly, we were all SO distracted by the little girl's protruding ears that I'm not really sure what happened plot-wise. There was one part where "Sophia" was sitting in the park and the sun was back-lighting her ear cartilage and they looked like two enormous red stoplights. Poor kid. I hope her parents spring for the ear pinning surgery soon. It's not that expensive and it's very safe. Other than that, I'm pretty sure it was another feel-good and wholesome Hallmark movie.

I would have loved this movie if Nikki DeLoach didn't overact! I found her so annoying!!! She was loud and brash. The other actors, even the kids were fine. The plot was very pleasant. Such a shame.

Kate is an animator, free-spirit woman and mom to Sophia. Eric has a type A personality who loves laminating things, following rules and is also a single dad to Owen. Both parents agree to adopt a dog, the same dog, so they co-foster the adorable Bruce.

You can imagine who this thing goes: they spend time together, become close, become friends and in the end start feeling things for the other. What made me rate this movie with a 9 is that they wisely chose not to include the typical cliches they always do. Plus, it was so much fun to watch! I actually laughed out loud more than once.

Sophia and Eric both have the same personality as well as Kate and Owen and I thought that was beautiful, the four of them coming together, sharing experiences while spending time with the dog: (Don't shop, adopt!)

The fact that Sophia's parents are separated, but still have a great friendship, and they even talk about new relationships, kudos for that!

Nikki Diloach was so much fun to watch and Michael Rady excels at playing this type A personality. Great chemistry. The children were adorable and did amazing!

I'm just so happy they avoided the cliches and came with new ideas for once (even the flash-forward), well done!

Nikki DeLoach is one of my Hallmark favourites, but she had some movies that I didn't like so I didn't expect to like this one. As I was watching this movie, I came to love the characters, including Liam and Bianca. The officemates, the members of the PTA, the obedience school people and fur babies...

The kids are adorable, and of course, Bruce is a charmer.

The story may or may not be perfect, but it is enjoyable from start to finish.

I love Ms. DeLoach's chemistry with Mr. Rady, and the story, like what most of the reviewers here said, is not your usual Hallmark Rom-Com.

I would surely would love to see a wide screen version of this one with the same cast. Is that even possible?

Well, if it isn't I hope more people would get to see this made for TV movie. I think even guys would like this one. It is very relatable, and the actors are very convincing.

Anyway, these are just my feelings. I do not know if they would be helpful or not, but I just wanted to share how I felt after watching this movie.

Thanks for your time.

Fun acting, but there's nothing special about this HM movie. As is often the case, the writers underuse the dog, pretty much relegating him as a plot. They need to add personality to animals more and make them characters rather than props, otherwise it's nothing like having a canine companion in real life. This movie is really more about school and work, so they should have focused on those, rather than cramming the dog in too and not really exploring anything properly.

The chemistry works perfectly between the always-good Nikki Deloach as a top animator, and Michael Rady ,who was the beating heart of the film, as an overly-prissy administrator who'd lost his wife and was still holding onto his grief. The dog-sharing, the kids, the scenery in Savannah was all great. Way better than your typical Hallmark fayre !

Hallmark, give us more Michael and Nikki! These two work great together and fans would love to see them more. I don't typically enjoy the dog themed movies but this one works. Also, is it just me or are movies better when "ex's" are pals instead of rivals? I love that her ex husband was so supportive of her. Great movie, I would love a sequel!

Nikki Deloach (Nikki) delivers once again in this "barktastic" love story. The on screen chemistry between her and Michael Rady was reminiscent of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky. You couldn't help but root for Nikki, the supremely talented cartoonist and erstwhile scorned lover, to find the true love she so deserves. Michaela Russell and Max Ivutin play the adorable children Sophia and Owen, whose love for the same dog is the catalyst for their parents to find love in each other. Set against the stunning backdrop of Savannah, "Love to the Rescue" will melt the heart of even the most steely Hallmark connoisseur. On top of the impeccable script, the casting and direction of the extras was spot on, with the performances in the café, office, and theater scenes being exceptional. Director Steven Monroe elevated his game to the level of Mervyn LeRoy's "Quo Vadis" or DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" with a stunning aesthetic that is sure to remain a benchmark for decades to come. Bravo, Hallmark!

The kids are smarter than adults Deloach and Rady no chemistry at all. Who shares a dog? Really New casting change kids once in a while

Finally Hallmark has made a Rom Com worthy of the Big Screen. I love Nikki DeLoach anyway but she and Michael Rady hit one out of the park. This was her best movie yet. Michael Rady was excellent as well. This was only his 2nd Hallmark movie and he is a cut above. Great dialogue and direction. The Chemistry between the cast was amazing. Something often lacking in a hallmark movie. The status quo Hallmark movies are very repetitive. Usually the conflict of the romance is rather Threes Company-esque where something is overheard or witnessed and misinterpreted to finally in the end be explained away and every body lives Happy ever after. Such is not the case with Love To The Rescue. Hallmark keeps going to CCB for star power but move over, Nikki Deloach is raising the bar.

This movie would have been better with another actress. I like Rady, he's great and down to earth but Nikki's acting (she forces it to much). She seems older then her male partners.

The plot wasn't bad though I have to say I don't care much for the animal themed stories. What a backdrop though --for the good acting--in the city of Savannah. And And from what I read it was shot in January! It didn't look like winter at all. As for the teen girl with the prominent ears. Wowza.

It was great! My favorite Hallmark movie of 2019! Michael Rady and Nikki DeLoach's chemistry was amazing. The story, fresh and fun. I need them paired again and again. Are you listening Hallmark???

Totally watchable. No cringe worthy moments. Feel good movie. Relatable characters. Will watch again

'Love to the Rescue's' concept appealed to me right away. It sounded very cute and heartfelt. Plus while Nikki DeLoach and Michael Rady are hit and miss when it comes to their filmographies (particularly Rady, but he has nearly always been one of the redeeming merits), both are always worth watching and are two of Hallmark's best and most consistent regulars. Hallmark's overall output is not to be immediately dismissed as they did do a lot of surprisingly good films. 2019 was a variable year for them, but there were again good ones.

One of the good ones is 'Love to the Rescue'. It is one of the best 2019 Hallmark films overall and definitely among the best 2019 Spring Fever films. Perhaps even the best, or at least a strong contender, being one of the few where the concept was immediately appealing while others left me mixed or iffy. 'Love to the Rescue' does both leads justice and corrects most of the flaws that Hallmark are prone to having and frequently committ.

Beginning with the very few things that didn't quite come off, 'Love to the Rescue' to me did lost momentum in the final act, where the conflict lacked tension and the pace slowed.

Am going to agree that the ending was on the lame side, very anti-climactic and didn't make me feel that much.

However, both DeLoach and Rady are great. Both look completely at ease and are charming and have charisma that is subtle and perky. Also loved that their characters developed realistically and were ones with flaws and strengths. Instead of the "too perfect too early" or "over the top negative character traits throughout most of the film until a sudden 180" seen too many times over the years of watching Hallmark films (and Lifetime). Their chemistry is genuine and very endearing. The children are adorable and also surprisingly mature, they are not over-cute and they aren't annoying. And who can't help love the dog.

It is a good looking film, especially the scenery. Something that Hallmark often delivered on, even in their misfires. The music isn't over-scored or too constant. The script isn't awkward and has genuinely amusing comedic moments and very sweet and touching dramatic ones while keeping sentimentality at bay. The story is not innovative but clearly knew exactly what it wanted to be and do, and has lightness, warmth and charm.

Overall, very nicely done. 8/10.
