When a hard-working L.A. event planner unexpectedly inherits a chalet in Vail, she reevaluates her life, quits her job, and moves to the resort town. Lacey Chabert plays Chelsea---who suddenly uproots her life---with her usual charm. She meets Owen (Tyler Hynes) there. He's a soft-spoken contractor who lives by Vail's more relaxed pace. Together they attempt to revive a portion of Vail and the restaurant run by Owen's father.
Though its story line is mostly about following one's dreams, the film's romance is its most captivating aspect, thanks in large part to the appeal of Tyler Hynes. His portrayal of Owen feels genuine. This is not a film about wooing; their relationship grows organically from their mutual respect and their recognition of each other's caring nature.
The self-fulfillment theme also works without simplifying the hard decisions that can accompany a choice between life goals and passion. This is one of the better Hallmark romances.
