Potential but it falls flat

The preview makes it look great but it falls so flat. There are so many little details that the writers didn't think through that just make it feel like a third rate movie. The medical details are so off. Overall just a meh movie.

Remake of Jack & Sarah

This is the same story as another 1995 film called Jack & Sarah. Jack & Sarah starred Richard E. Grant and was a wonderful film. Search it out. This update is good but the medical scenes were embellished for dramatic effects.

Good Storyline

I liked the storyline. However, the acting was sub par - except for Sage (Mandahla Rose), Kathryn (Adrienne Barbeau), and Dr. Luke* (Randy Wayne).

*He did much better when he was paired up with Rose and/or Barbeau.

There were a couple unrealistic scenes. One, where the friend (a fellow doctor) stood back and, from a distance) "directed" the nurses on life-saving measures. The doctor normally steps-in to try and save a person's life.

The second situation was when Dr. Luke performed a cesarean on his own wife. That is a definite NO-NO!

Good story

Good story. I watch a lot of hallmarks and this movie pulled at my heartstrings.

simple

Dr. Luke Matthews (Randy Wayne) is happily married to his wife Jessica (Bre Blair) who is pregnant with their first. His patient Sage Smith (Mandahla Rose) loses her pregnancy. He loses Jessica while giving birth. His estranged mother Katharyn (Adrienne Barbeau) tries to help, but he rejects a live-in nanny. After a chance encounter, Luke hires Sage. Both are struggling with their losses.

It is a simple heartfelt movie. I would not go the romance route, but it is a very simple movie. There is some goodness in its simplicity. Everybody is nice. Even Katharyn's misguided efforts are for the good of the family. This is simple and fine.
