Halmark, is now producing these two hour formula movies on industrial scale. In doing so, the quality of the individual movies has lessened.
This movie hits all of its favorite formulas. The female lead. A smart pretty professional. (here a vet) Had a crush when she was young. Meets crush later in life. He is handsome and in either a very masculine (firefighter, policeman) or very artistic (baker, artist) or caring profession. (here he loves stray dogs) Unfortunately there is a pretty shallow PG vixen in the picture with the guy. (check mark again here) In the end he finds out who she really is and the couple winds up together. (Spoiler) I actually like this movie because it did not stray from this formula in one point. In fact it could serve as a template of almost all Hal-mark movies.
That being said, I did enjoy it. The script was quality. The acting believable. It even had a supporting role from the Fall Guy.
Some if nothing else is on, I would suggest this is a worthy diversion for two hours, but do not turn on the DVR.
