If you can make it through the first 45" of whining, you should be ok. It does get revisited towards the end, but resolves shortly. The adult relationship has some merit, and the boy is wonderful. A truly despicable character tends to be almost clownlike, the father seems emotionless, fake tears and all. Sally Struthers is absolutely perfect in her part. The quotas are all met, of course. Where would we be without the quotas? I'm not sure why I continued down this massively flawed movie, but I did to the finish. When there is a character as unlikeable as the heroine, it is masterful to like her at the end.

When I write a review for a movie, I take into consideration much more than just the storyline. There are so many factors in this movie that just make it plain bad. Let's start with the acting.

Most of the acting in this movie is just bad. The only one who shows any promise is, the male MC. Sometimes an actor's ability to pull off what I would call quality acting is affected by the script itself, and this one is terrible. The dialogue is ridiculous and I don't even know how the actors can state their lines without laughing.

The formula here is the same old tired stuff that one can grow easily sick of. Just once I would like to see the guy whose behavior is so horrible towards his girlfriend, die a slow and agonizingly painful death. Yeah, that would work for me. Then she goes home to mommy and daddy to grieve where she meets the handsome town hunk.

One thing we didn't see here, unless I completely missed it, was the interrupted kiss. Yes, there's always a scene where they're moving in for that kiss and somebody walks in. How stupid. Just once I would like to see it intimated that they've had sex.

If not, for the bad acting, and the horrible script, this movie could've made it. However, it didn't make it with me.

I absolutely loved this movie. It was the best movie in 2018. Kelley Jakle has the voice of an angel. Absolutely loved Adam Mayfield too. I want to see a sequel. What's next for Harmony and Luke.
