This is sadly another mediocre Reel One Entertainment TV movie. It's technically mostly all right except the obvious fake location. I thought movie takes place in Canada as they used stock Kelowna footage. Later we found out that Kelowna is pretending to be somewhere in California so why use Kelowna stock footage? In any case, it just doesn't work. WA or OR is fine, but CA is just a bit of too much.
I watched Giles Panton a lot as he was regular supporting Hallmark actor before his switch to the main one for ROE. He mostly played a bit of goofy characters. I didn't buy his fake British accent. It sounded forced. Why he didn't play as a Canadian? You know, Canada is monarchy, too. But at least he was written somehow passable.
I never watched Nikki McKenzie and she was just awfull for at least the first half of the movie because of the poor script so I don't blame her personally. I'm sorry, I can't root for obnoxious lead like her, and that ruined movie. And then there is an issue with both romance and comedy. If you expect romance, there is barely any, and at least trailer is honest because it doesn't show it either. Sure, there is some "romance" in second half for no reason at all. But the real huge issue is just how comedy part was badly written and done.
I understand that there is an audience who likes that type of comedy. I simply can't. At least if Taylor was written better I would give passable rating.
Just watch trailer and save your valuable free time as it's ROE one and it shows mostly whole movie compressed in just 2:29 min.
