Una famiglia per Sunshine

Let me tell you a secret...I've seen this three times already. I just love this movie so much. Of course, I love the retired service dog named SUNSHINE. She's simply one of the best dog actors there is, and she is the reason these two people met.

**********

I'm a military brat so I kind of know some of the things here, and the other reviewer is right, the insignia is correct, but suddenly an Air Force bus fetches him...I know there are Army planes too, but maybe they were in US Air Force territory/hangar. It could happen. The USAF protect the bases, and they seldom get deployed, so maybe a few of them are called to serve along with the Army soldiers. Well, enough of that. I may know a little, but I don't know everything, so maybe I should leave things be.

The important thing about this movie is the beautiful story, and the chemistry between DANICA and MARK as Ally and Jake is the tops.

I know they are not real life sweethearts. Mark is happily married to Jamie, they have two kids together, and they have dogs.

Danica was divorced once, and has one child named Draco. She has been married to Scott for almost five years now.

Watching the two together is like magic. They made me believe that they have an instant romantic connection. The feeling's just so wonderful.

Oh, there was a reviewer who complained because of Mark's real age, he's too old to be Bess Armstrong's son. Why can't we get that she is playing a role? That she is not playing Bess Armstrong. She's Margo Terry. For all we know she could be a very young looking mother.

I, by the way, love the Margo Terry quotes uttered by BESS ARMSTRONG. Please listen to them.

I also like the supporting cast most especially: Toby Levins(Sam), Christine Chatelain(Emma), Vera Frederickson(cutie Lena Terry), Brenda Crichlow(Trisha Collins), Daniel Bacon(Denver Collins), April Telek(Donna), Jessie Fraser(Barb Terry) and Whoever played Lena's brother.

Oh, and you're going to love that the kisses are uninterrupted.

Well, I guess that's it.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, so I hope you would enjoy it like I still do.

This movie has a dog and a veteran in a romance. Not key elements but they add points in my book.

The story was a little more unpredictable than most of the Hallmark movies lately.

The leads connected.

There were some flaws and clumsy moments. McKellar is still acting more like a young twenty-something than her age. Still I enjoyed it.

The owner of a nursery (Danica McKellar) is fostering a dog named Sunshine, whose owner (Mark Deklin) is deployed in the Middle East. At the end of his tour, he comes home and makes arrangements to pick up Sunshine.

Each of them is smarting from a being dumped by their last significant other, and both are dealing with ambivalent emotions because of their break-ups. But they have one thing in common--a love of Sunshine. This is a good setup for two genuinely nice people whose paths intersect. And the two lead actors have an affable chemistry.

This is an enjoyable Hallmark romance that unfolds naturally and allows the characters to establish an authentic-feeling relationship, not relying only on clever lines or mysterious coincidences.

I have seen every Danica Hallmark movie. This one is by far her best one yet. I have already watched it twice. This movie seriously has everything! It is just a heart warming and feel good movie. It doesn't have that usual Hallmark cheesy tone to it.(I'm addicted to Hallmark movies so obviously I love the cheesy themes). All the characters had great chemistry together and not just the main characters. So far this has been THE best summer hallmark movie to date. You get a sweet slow build love story, an adorable dog, a man in uniform and great family scenes.

There is nothing quite like a mom telling you when you are screwing up. Even though we saw pictures on how the story ended, I wouldn't mind a part 2. Hallmark has set the bar high for this one and I'll be hard press to find another hallmark summer movie that holds a candle to this movie. This might seriously be the absolutely best hallmark movie I have seen, if not the best it's definitely in the top 5. It is without a doubt the best hallmark movie if 2019(so far).

This was a real good grown-up film from Hallmark. I hadn't seen much of Mark Deklin before but he gave a realistic believable performance as a Master Sergeant who loves his Mom, his family, his dog ,and of course falls in love with a Nursery owner/designer played by Danica McKellar. In fact the scenes with Mark & Bess Armstrong who plays his Mom are heartfelt and great. In my opinion this is Danica's best role I've seen her play for Hallmark with a full range of emotions and depth of acting. Trust me, this is one of the better ones !
