Bad acting and Horrible story. the only thing good about this movie that was Henry/George
Gave up near the end. For over one hour I was waiting for something to happen; there were no plot points or plot twists, the 'funny' scenes fell flat, character arcs and relationship dynamics weren't developed. Wouldn't even classify it as amateurish, it was below that. Whole movie could be summed up as: watch a marriage therapist/expert try to desperately come up with an idiotic book idea (because deadlines) that will inevitably ruin her already failing marriage; bonus: puppy scenes!
I actually liked all the actors. The plot is not good. It just does not work.
Their best friend couple are pretty adorable and charismatic, and the dog is a cutie. It is watchable, but oddly slow and strange in spots, and I cannot quite put my finger on it, but I think the bad script is where the whole thing fails.
I did watch the entire thing, because I liked the actors. As a story however it is not satisfying.
All the funny parts were in the ads and weren't all that funny in the context. the lead is a marriage counselor who plays games with her husband. apparently aaron joins justin in leaving his wife but we don't know that until he goes back so why he left is never explained. mom is poison to the relationship until she does an about 180, again for no explanation. not to mention the totally fake backdrop/green screen when justin's supposed to be in europe; there are plenty of places in america or canada that would've doubled easily. the only competent counselor in the whole thing is the dog trainer. basically, the story is flat with no development, stilted dialogue, and the only chemistry is between nicole and aaron. not even the cute puppy can save this tragedy.
I love Hallmark movies. I've been called a Hallmarkaphile. This movie is AWFUL. Gonzalo's character is TERRIBLE! I couldn't stand her. Ranks as one of the WORST Hallmark movies EVER!
