As a rehabilitation health care worker, I was pleased that Hallmark included a character that had lived through a life-altering health event. I was simply left wishing that had been explored in more depth. This could have been a great forum for educating the audience in stroke after-effects. Why was Jeremy's left arm tighter during his blind date? How realistic is it that he would be permitted to drive, given the perceptual deficits that are part of so many strokes. Could his curmudgeonly demeanour be a direct stroke effect?
The story line was clever; bringing the two sides together at the chance door encounter caused me to chuckle.
I, too would have liked to see the parent explore with the child the issues of lying, vengeance; this could have gone beyond "causing trouble" and named a wrong. I was pleased, though, when the child unprompted offered his own apology.
