This story has nothing high and nothing low. It's just blah. Rena Sofer and Dean McDermott do nothing special together. I saw no chemistry. There was more going on (bro-wise) with Scot and Michael than any spark between Grace and Michael.
Barbara Eden as mom was super annoying until suddenly her entire outlook towards Grace's relationships changes instantly.
It would have been nice if some time could have been spent exploring the two assistants and their relationship. At least Lindsay had some spark to her.
Even the climax was lackluster. There was no enthusiasm in that speech whatsoever.

Plot summary
Small town high-school lovers Michael Foster and Grace Holland née Anderson lost sight after choosing separate careers. Each's marriage to another failed in a few years, but Grace has a perfect son, Scott Holland, who realizes her steady date, terribly nice accountant Phillip Walsh, just isn't a romantic match. Just before their high-school reunion, Michael's employer sends him and assistant-buddy James Mitchell to that town to supervise the chain's latest hotel being decorated, as turns out by Grace's firm. James falls in love with Grace's assistant-confident Lindsay Taylor. The old lovers keep denying the obvious, but get incessant help from Michael's in-laws, Scott and the assistants, despite Grace's mother efforts to make her marry Philip, who gracefully prepares to give way to true love.

Enjoyable silly movie
Dean McDermott and Rena Sider are in 30s late thirties acting like teenagers . All the movies Hallmark makes have these people riding bikes not acting like adults.
Always and Forever-So Nicely Predictable ***
Entertaining albeit a highly predictable film dealing with a recurrence after a teenage romance of 20 years before.
Ironically, both are brought together by their high school reunion and their discovery that they're working on the same project- the fixing up of a hotel.
Barbara Eden displays some wonders in her mother role. She becomes a "genie" once again at the end of the film.
Our loving couple both have been burned once in failed marriages during the interim 20 years. She has a boyfriend as well as a teenage son.
Who played the father, the husband to Barbara Eden? He was incredibly dull and just spilled his lines out without any emotion whatsoever.
We know where this is leading to. Enjoyable, but we've seen this so many times.
