Kavan Smith ! what's not to like ? he makes the perfect boyfriend - attractive, funny and a smile to die for. Oh and he can act too ! Have seen him in several Hallmark films and he's delivered without making the script cheesy. Shame he hasn't been picked up by the mainstream studios.

Why do Hallmark insist on their scriptwriters having to refer to 'heart' all the time ? Cook with 'heart', write with 'heart', create with 'heart'. If I cooked. wrote or created with my 'heart' it wouldn't be worth eating, reading or looking at !!! Here in the UK we laugh at anything like that, we roll our eyes and say "really?"

I thought this was well worth watching. Although I am not much on Frozen Dinners. LOL Yes i recommend it. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 1/31/2021

As a chef, he probably would not have had pens in his uniform pocket (maybe a meat thermometer, though?). The situation with the daughter getting stranded by the bus seemed a bit unrealistic. Other than that, the characters seemed authentic, the conflict and resolution seemed more believable than most, and the actors had great chemistry. I also enjoyed some creative camera angles and cinematography in this movie!

Hallmark has really cornered the market in widows & widowers - but that aside, this was a good played-out movie with excellent acting & chemistry from the 2 leads. The story flowed really well & the interactions of Autumn Reeser & Kavan Smith as they gradually got to know each other, didn't feel rushed or too corny. Autumn's boss's character seemed a bit too one-dimensional pantomime villain for me,.I think a sequel would be good as it'd be good to see them pair up together again.

Cute movie. I did pick up on two lines very similar to those used in Michael Douglas romantic comedies: A comment about expensive shoes now being practical after they're ruined (from Romancing the Stone), and a daughter telling her dad to compliment the leading lady on her shoes (The American President). But I enjoyed it. Would like to see Barbara Niven in a sympathetic role for once, though.
