An unusual Hallmark romantic comedy this, because the story has more twists and turns than normal.

I liked this film, I thought it had a 'You've Got Mail' vibe to it, and it's well played out by Sam Page and Sarah Rafferty (Suits).

We have all the usual Hallmark messages thrown in for good measure too, as well the supporting character romance, but it's all good fun, and very enjoyable.

Brandon was certainly well shot of his annoying ex!

Sarah Rafferty is an anonymous relationship advice columnist. Sam Page is a veterinarian whose last relationship Sarah broke up. When her terrier falls ill, guess who she comes to?

There's little new for romantic comedies and this Hallmark made-for-Valentine's-Day romcon hits all the notes with nothing that you haven't seen before, particularly if you've seen the new ones the channel has been airing twice a week for the last month. Yet this one is way above average, and it's not just that Miss Rafferty is so gorgeous (although if you're going to turn your lead actress into a strawberry blonde, try to remember that her eyebrows are not going to be dark brunette). It's also that their cinematographer is so good.

Brendan Uegama is the name. I've never noticed his work before, but I'll certainly keep an eye out for it in the future. He favors a moving camera and it certainly keeps hints at some one worth investigating. It also calls for real skill in lighting and art direction by Kim Glennie. It's good to know that when your attention flags because you've seen this all before, at least the pictures on the screen are worth looking at.

And, yes, I understand that all these blonde and red headed actresses have dark eyebrows to let the audience read their emotions better. It also points out that it's a fake.

I liked this more than the usual Hallmark romance because it showed the actual romance developing. Sometimes Hallmark leaves that part out in a desperate attempt to build suspense. This movie had flirting, dating, and some refreshing nervousness/insecurity that was charming to watch. It was still a rather obvious plot, but at least it felt realistic in the way the characters built a relationship.

I hope Hallmark shifts the focus of its movies to showing the development of relationships rather than just the development of attraction. It's so much more interesting to watch that greater depth of interaction.
