There is little to say about the premise of this film as it falls under the stereotypical story of the female lead taking a break (or forced to) from work in the big city to travel home and see her family. Events allow her to reconnect with an old flame and by the end of the film she leaves her city life behind and they all live happily in the country.
Normally there wouldn't be anything wrong with this. It is a welcome distraction from life and we enjoy a cosy, light hearted film where everyone is always happy and a couple connects romantically. Unfortunately in this film, there is very little "light hearted" and "love" or "romance" feel an afterthought.
There is too much resistance from the town on Zoe's efforts which dominates the film, is unrealistic and makes the film borderline depressing. Her constant smile after every rejection becomes fake and any romantic interaction with Will gets lost. You could be wondering by the end why there is a wedding at all.
Would I watch the film again? No as I almost stopped watching half way through the first time.

Borderline Depressing
Very watchable
This movie is watchable, much better than so many "romance" or "Christmas" TV-movies. I don't understand such harsh reviews.
Morgan Kohan is sweet, doesn't annoy me like most of the actresses in such movies do. Her business partner Nick (Carey Feehan) is great!
Apart from them, it's worth watching just for Lochlyn Munro, I love him ever since "A night at the Roxbury". One reviewer wrote "he is not old enough to have a 30 something" but the age difference is 24 years, how much more do you need?!
I agree with one of the reviewers that the blond girl played very realistic. He and Drew Nelson have shown small-town people are in a very realistic manner (whether you like it or not).
Not a masterpiece, but it's recommended, if you are into such genre (family movie).
I liked it.
You just can't watch anything any than these good for the whole family movies. Great family watching no Foul language no Sex scenes no Nudity just don't get any better than this. Yes I Highly recommend this Family friendly show. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 6/28/2022.
