The general story of this movie is a complete knockoff of While You Were Sleeping. It is hard to better Sandra Bullock. Yet Rhiannon Fish, whom I've never noticed before, is excellent as quirky Tenley. I happen to love quirky. She and Edward Ruttle have chemistry, mostly thanks to Fish.
The story is a bit wild even if predictable, but anything coming out of this premise is going to be a little wild. Larissa is a nice touch because the viewer knows something is up. Betsey has the confidence of someone much older, but she also adds a good element to the story.

Pleasant enough copy of Whilst you were Sleeping, my favourite film of all time, but still quite engaging in its way.
Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock could never be copied, but still like the pair and the family.

This movie is so out of touch. The protagonist looks, and acts, like Mary Poppins, and she's only about 22? Not on this planet. She dresses like it's the 60s..and is Mary Poppins with the maturity level that is little girlish.
Worst fashion choices..ugh, and she's dumb as a rock.
It's also a VERY cheap knock off of While You Were Sleeping. Shameful.
Overall this film was just embarrassing to watch. I couldn't watch it all the way through.

Do any of you watch Hallmark??? Almost every movie is predictable in that you know right from the start that somehow these two people are going to end up together, whoever that couple is. It's the journey and imagination that makes it enjoyable. Someone said the lead actress was annoying, but I thought she was absolutely quirky adorable. Someone else said there was no chemistry, but I disagree. Yes, the premise was stolen to some degree from a Sandra Bullock movie. However what happened and how deeply she got her self into the mess and why was not the same. The only thing that bothers me, and it always bothers me in these TV romcoms, is when the two people get together finally after two hours, they kiss and the movie is abruptly over. It would be nice to see a little bit more of what happens next. Even five minutes more! But as soon as there is a kiss, the movie end. That being said, I still recommend it.
Can't believe someone greenlit this film, must have been desperation during the pandemic. At least the cast and crew made some money during hard times.

This movie's plot is the same as While You Were Sleeping, except it doesn't have great actors. A mediocre copy. Why spent time watching this?
We all want to escape reality, which is why we love to watch movies. Even though the story line is similar to 'while you were sleeping'. It is still a very good movie to watch. The female lead character is played so well. She draws you into the story with her charm, optimism and kindness. Who would not fall for Tenley. Highly recommended to all who wish to escape the harsh reality of life and be swept up by the optimistic romance. A feel good film.

I usually like these made-for-TV romantic comedies. I know that they're cheesy, but they're usually enjoyable. This one is junk. The lead female is annoying and has zero chemistry with the guy she ends up with at the end of the film. I watched the first act and decided I could not waste another hour and 15 minutes watching. I skipped straight to the last act.
Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible direction. Terrible movie. (As a Canadian, I am appalled to think that government money was likely given to this production.)

I know it's techincally not a Hallmark film, but the premise is similar to what they usually produce. Except, the script and the acting was terrible. The actors did not have any chemestry, and most of the time it felt like they were reading the lines from the script at the same time it was being filmed. Awkward reactions, as if they were out of place, and the film had so many loop holes and bad scene transitions that is was downright cringe.

Who needs to watch the movie when the trailer gave it all away?!

Both my hubby & I enjoyed this movie. It was cute & funny, and we all need some humor. I thought Tenley was cute, and her many 'accidents' were funny. I also thought the leads DID have chemistry.
IMO - Just watch the show(s) and quit nit-picking it to pieces!!!

I like 'cheesy' romances but this was just horrible. Started off ok with a cute female lead, who then turns into a complete moron.
As for the parents who had no curiosity as to why their son living at home didn't tell them he was married to a girl living with her friend..well, er..!
This could have been a decent hallmark style romance if the female lead had come clean soon after the doctor mistake, and then continued with the family as a consultant to help the company.
However, the dark cloud created by 'While you were sleeping' seems to have infected this movie with the same nonsense.
One really has to be in the same coma as the internet boyfriend not to find this movie irritating. Just as those who gave Sandra Bullock's awful movie a thumbs up that spawned this stupidity of a so called romance.

I know While You Were Sleeping is a classic, and I did like it...but I remember it being kind of basic. Surprisingly, A Love to Remember seemed to have a lot more depth and variety. There were even some plot twists and surprises that I didn't anticipate. Good writing!
And, of course, the new face Rhiannon Fish is just adorable. In both this movie and the Hallmark movie, Journey of My Heart, she brings a cuteness and a comic relief to two roles of highly intelligent - potentially nerdy, awkward, but pulls-off-normal - women. She's a joy to watch!
How many more characters until I get to six hundred?
