Mainly, I really like the two leads, Jessica Lowndes and Wes Brown. What bothered me was the part played by Miranda Frigon. She looks too old for him and it kept bothering me. It's a silly story anyway! But Lowndes and Brown made it worth watching.

This Hallmark romance was written by its star, Jessica Lowndes, and she deserves credit for that. In her story, she plays Brooklyn Moore, a matchmaker with an unerring talent for creating lasting couples. But somehow she has been unable to find love herself.

When Devin (Wes Brown), a former best friend, comes back into her life, he draws the attention of her most important client. Brooklyn's involvement in their courtship is reminiscent of "Cyrano", but it plays out in a less romantic way. Indeed, it is somewhat cringe-worthy, because viewers want to see true romance blossom.

Though Lowndes has created a role nearly perfect for herself and her vocal talents, the lack of chemistry between the primaries leaves this story far short of the moon.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie even though I have seen similar basic storylines. The casting was spot on! There isn't anything specific about why the two didn't reach out to each other in the past 12 years - career, in Europe, that type of vague reasoning - but hey! Timing is everything. I loved the main characters, the secondary couple as well as Brooklyn's parents. The lip syncing at the end could have been better but kudos to Jessica Lowndes for all she did on this movie. Captivating! James Welch Henderson Arkansas 5/16/2021.

I don't know what people are expecting on here. It's a Hallmark movie, not a Meryl Streep blockbuster. As always, it's pleasant and sweet and takes the mind off the daily drudgery of work, chores, and bills.

Brooklyn Moore (Jessica Lowndes) has always had the knack of making the perfect match. Devin Knight (Wes Brown) is her awkward school friend. It's twelves years later. She has a matchmaking business called "Over the Moon in Love" in San Francisco, but she has never made a match for herself. Devin re-enters her life after losing touch. Stephanie Carlton holds the potential for a big magazine cover but she wants to get set up by Brooklyn. She's taken with Devin and demands to be set up with him.

Oh hey! Jessica Lowndes actually wrote this herself. I won't be too mean. This is fine. Hallmark does not set a high bar. It doesn't inspire me to follow her writing career. She does need to learn to write a meet-cute for her rom-com leads. They could meet in high school with his dental headgear getting caught in her hair. He just needs to be a big nerd whom she never sees coming. Maybe he gets picked on and she comes to his rescue. I do like the Cyrano de Bergerac aspect but the final pairing is never in doubt. Non of this is in doubt. It's a very safe Hallmark flick.
