    This woman does not exist

    The character Sam is impossible. Number one on the list is she is incredibly forgiving. She is kind, hard-working, positive, laid-back, basically the perfect woman, too perfect. She is played by Erin Krakow who, as Heath remarks in the movie, "the camera loves her". On the other hand, she seems to have terrible luck dating. And the beginning of this movie captures her encounter with Heath as the absolutely worst date (sort of) in history.

    The story is pretty ridiculous in so many ways. I already described Sam plus her ridiculous first encounter with Heath. The pie thing is silly. I won't spoil the last half of the movie, but it is just as ridiculous. (Did the writers of this movie ever hear of a release?)

    The acting isn't great. As much as I love Erin Krakow, she is basically one dimensional in this movie. Also, some of her reactions in this movie are totally unrealistic at best. The movie relies heavily on shots of her with a caring look on her face. Kaitlin Doubleday as Celeste is a total cliché. Ryan McPartlin, as Heath. isn't terrible, but not great either. And what's with torturing us with terrible Karaoke.

    My star rating is way to generous, but I can't resist Erin Krakow. If you like this genre, most movies have many of these faults so it's not hard to watch.

    Cute and funny movie

    Kept me laughing the entire movie. Good story. Good actors.

    Predictable and pleasant

    Average predictable story and an alright if not memorable romance. The cast is nice. Ryan Mcpartlin and Erin Krakow make a nice looking pair who are matched by his son via email. When they meet up they eventually fall in love. Little silly speed bump along the way.

    Cute, predictable, no surprises

    Cute enough movie. typical female villain trying to steal the guy away. It was worth a watch.

    The best romantic TV movie after all these years!

    I have seen this film occasionally in YouTube. With a big surprise it is a real nice sweet romantic TV movie. Much better than those Hallmark movies which one has seen along all these years. The casting is really a winner. The lead actress is beautiful and the lead actor is incredible handsome. The two together form the right chemistry for such type of movie. That is exactly most of the other Hallmark fail to achieve. The weak point is that the story plot is a bit too simple, if the script writer has spent more time to enrich the plot lines, it will be much better. I am surprised that no one has left an review before. Perhaps it is not a direct Hallmark production (although shown in Hallmark channel), there is not much promotion and not much people know about it. Even now in 2016 no DVD available at all.

    This is a sweet little film, full of outdoor natural scenes. The actor and actress have a lot of smiles in the movie, watching it make one feeling love is in air and love is all around, and life is full of hopes. I really hope that someday a studio will appreciate this TV film and release it on DVD ..... with a reasonable price!

    • Trivia
      This movie was filmed in the Los Angeles suburbs of Moorpark and Santa Susana.
    • Goofs
      When Heath is at the grocery store, he puts a few small items on the checkout counter- such as toilet paper, a 6 pack of cola, and chips. He leaves carrying two small bags. There is no way his items came to $74.21.
    • Quotes

      Donny Madsen: If this is about Celeste, I urge you to keep that strictly business.

      Heath Madsen: It *is* strictly business.

      Donny Madsen: Does she know that?

      Heath Madsen: Who are you?

      Donny Madsen: Someone who's looking out for you, Heath.

      Heath Madsen: What happened to dad?

    • Alternate versions
      There are a few differences between the Hallmark Channel version ("Chance at Romance") and the version that airs on PixL ("Friend Request.") Notably at the end of "Chance at Romance," there is an extra line of dialog between Heath and Samantha, and through additional group shots and close-ups it is made clear that Donny, May and Eddie accompanied Heath on his journey. "Friend Request" is cut to make it appear as if Heath is alone, as the additional characters are never seen.
