Finally a PG-rated Hallmark movie with a little bit of zip. Also, it's a bit of a weeper, too, especially for anybody who has lost (or is losing) a partner to illness or accident. The world breaks everybody, but some become strong at the broken places., and this is a story of getting past grief. It'd help the suspension of disbelief if the ghost looked a little more "ghostie" (ethereal). Another nice break from the typical Hallmark formula is to not have "The Kiss" in the final frames of the movie, but I don't think that qualifies as a "spoiler".

a PG Hallmark weeper movie
Mostly really good
Parts of it were over the top and might make you roll your eyes, but most of it was very well done. The actress who played the daughter was impressive. The father was excellent as well. I like the melancholy touches about grief and found them to be the strongest parts of the movie.
Hallmark should continue with these slight deviations from their usual movie formula. I like them so much more than the conventional fall in love in one week stories.
