Featured reviews
This movie had potential until 1 hour 15 minutes into it, with The acting was good, but the characters lacked depth. The first half of the movie had a story line and kept viewers interested, while the second half was dragging and felt that it was simply a filler to complete 120 minutes.
The incredible and ridiculous ending was so unbelievable that I consider this a loss of 2 hours of my life, which I will never get back. The last 5 minutes doesn't complete this movie and attempts to explain everything,without any logic or credibility. All it does is to make the viewers frustrated and disappointed.

The movie's ending was preposterous and ruined it for me. Hallmark needs to hire some new writers - puleez! I don't want to see formulaic storylines or tropes - I'm sick of the same old, same old from Hallmark. The same story over and over with different actors in different towns. While this movie was a departure from the usual ending, it was completely unbelievable. I want to see really great stories about people finding (or in this case, losing) love. Many people have commented on the inaccuracies with military procedures, etc. This is classic for Hallmark no matter what the story is about. Continuity errors, technical errors abound on most of their movies. It's just lazy writing. They take their audience for granted and it shows.
First, did not care for ending. Second, during the first part of movie it showed husband with a rank of Major. Later when they showed him online talking to to his wife, they showed him with captain bars on. That's right before he was supposed to be killed. WHAT, did he get a demotion? If your going to have some sort of Military movie, then it should be acurate. I'm x-military, and it hurts to think Hallmark would not check facts. We are watching the end now, and he has captain bars on. It's sad to think that Hallmark would let this happen, and that the good actors and actresses had to be in it.
One of the worst movies ever made. I understand that anything is possible in movies but this is unbelievably impossible. The military is apparently inept, unable to determine if a soldier has perished or not. An incredible slap in the face of Gold Star Families.
I feel sorry for Erin Cahill and Steve Lund. Their names will be forever linked to literally one of the worst Hallmark movies.
I found it difficult to watch, the movie never found a groove. I contemplated switching to GAC after the first 30 minutes but I figured it would come around. Wrong.
I probably would've enjoyed washing the dog or cleaning the refrigerator more.

I really wanted to like this movie. Erin Cahill and Steve Lund were good, but the script was awful. The attention to military detail was lacking. Was Colby a Major or a Captain? The General was not even aware of the most important detail. How he didn't know one of his men was alive was beyond me. I felt so bad for Pierce. He loved her and her daughter so much. The flashback scenes were probably the best part of the movie. The ending happened so quickly and was not believable at all. How you wrap up a movie in the last five minutes is just silly. Will not be rewatching this. I gave it 3 stars for just Erin and Steve.

- TriviaScott Fee and Yvonne Schalle are a real life television newscaster and meteorologist respectively as they portray in the movie.
- GoofsAt the start and of the film and on the day he went MIA, Colby wears Captain's bars, but when Audrey is born he is wearing gold leaf as a Major. The only way this could be true is if he was promoted and then demoted, which isn't mentioned in the film.
