Tim Conway

The movie is the usual light hearted fair with old flames rekindling . The special part is the brilliant casting of Tim Conway as the grandfather faking dementia. His comic genius is is on display all the time, even when he's not the center of the scene.

Excellent Romantic Comedy Excellent Musical Score

A barrel of fun! More sophisticated than the usual Hallmark romance!

Warm Witty Charm & Good Acting!

I adore the film. Hallmarks are a hit or miss for me, but Hillary Paul & Tim keep me laughing! The other characters are good, but a little safer comedy-wise. It doesn't over process the plot nor do the impossible in a 48 hour timeframe. So, for me it is that rainy day rom-com that you enjoy with your girls! :)

Not bad for a hallmark movie

This movie was okay for hallmark standards, it was predictable at times and the actors were good considering the material but still worth a watch

REALLY LIKED GRIDLEY!

LIGHT HEARTED COMEDY REQUIRES A GOOD ACTOR. PAUL CAMPBELL IS ONE OF THE FEW HALLMARK ACTORS THAT CAN DELIVER A GENUINE PERFORMANCE. I HAVE WATCHED THIS SHOW SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF PAUL CAMPBELL'S LIKABILITY.

I THOUGHT 'SURPRISED BY LOVE' WAS ONE OF THE BETTER HALLMARK MOVIES DUE TO GOOD DIRECTION AND A FOCUSED EFFORT BY THE ENTIRE CAST. WHY ARE ALL CANADIAN ACTORS SO MUCH BETTER AT CREATING SEXY,CHARISMATIC CHARACTERS?

AND..... IT NEVER HURTS TO HAVE A TIM CONWAY IN A MOVIE

Trivia
It's stated in the "goofs" section about this movie, that at the Mayfield party, Richard's character says hello to Gridley but calls him Richard instead of Gridley. Actually, it's Gridley (with his back to the camera) saying hello to Richard. A closer look shows that Richard simply raises his eyebrows a bit at Gridley then gives a half-smile with no words being spoken, by Richard, until they take photos together and give their names.

Goofs
When Gridley shows Josie his driftwood sundial in the park (early in the movie), the sky sky is overcast. No shadows anywhere.

Quotes
Maxwell Gridley: [about Josie's boyfriend] So, who's the lucky guy?
Josie Mayfield: [catching the bottle of water Gridley throws to her] Ooh, thank you. Ah, he is an executive headhunter.
Maxwell Gridley: Ouch. And what do your folks think of this boyfriend?
Josie Mayfield: You know my Dad. He doesn't think anybody's good enough for me.
Maxwell Gridley: I know he didn't think I was good enough for you.
Josie Mayfield: Don't feel bad. Richard has everything that's on my father's checklist, and he still doesn't approve.
Maxwell Gridley: Ah, the Mayfield checklist: good job, good family, good manners... good-bye.
Josie Mayfield: Right.
Maxwell Gridley: Well, I'm just going to come out and say it - you know why your Dad's repulsed by this guy...
Josie Mayfield: I never said he was repulsed.
Maxwell Gridley: Look, it's his job. No father wants his daughter dating a cannibal in a suit.
Josie Mayfield: He's not a cannibal. He is a headhunter.
Maxwell Gridley: What's the difference?
Josie Mayfield: Richard places clients in employment positions, and a cannibal chops people up and eats them for dinner.
Maxwell Gridley: Tomayto/tomahto.
