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.

The chemistry between the main characters were great. Ive seen most of the movies that Danica is in and this is by far the best one.
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 !
A military , a dog, a young woman and a decent story, meritous more for the end.
The only sin - the impression about hard effort of Danica McKellar to propose fair traits to her character .
The good point - the dog, off course and, in same measure, the science of Mark Deklan to
A military, a dog, a young woman. The predictable romance.
After so many Hallmark romances, nothing new or real bad. The end can be the good gift for viewer .
Only problem - Danica McKellar seems be not very comfortable in her role.
The good point, no doubts, the dog and the fine manner to explore his character of Mark Deklin.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. I had low expectations about this one. But decided to give this a chance anyways. It started as every other Hallmark movie ever does. But the fact that these characters meet because of a dog? You got me there. The chemistry between the leads was great! And they managed to surprised me. There is one scene which makes you forget for few minutes that you are watching a Hallmark production. That's the pivot point of the movie and it was amazing!
The ending is kind of different to what we are accostumed to but different is good. Definitely worth a watch.
(My only big problem was the mom? Is she old enough to be the mother of the lead? come on Hallmark)
I wish Hallmark continues to make films like this. One where someone can relate to something, where not everything is perfect, but still makes you feel good.
