You just can't watch anything any than these hallmark 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. 3/24/22.

Alison Sweeney, single mother of two, has her hours cut back at the emergency call center where she works and decides to rent out a room in her house. Greg Vaughan, a fireman with a broken leg needs such a room -- he can't climb the stairs to his third floor walkup.

Bingo! You know they are going to fall in love, but the way they get there is charming. He does magic and her adorable kids -- who, in response to the home emergency, have gotten themselves jobs reading to people at the local retirement home -- are enchanted.

The only problem I have with this movie is the thought that these two people are unattached at the start of movie. Why haven't they been snapped up by other partners already? The movie is strengthened, as are many of the Hallmark TV movies, by the casting of older but excellent actors in some small roles. Here it's Rance Howard and Ed Asner as two occupants of the retirement home.

On the scale of would-I-watch-this-again, this movie gets the highest possible rating. Another reviewer has the title "Feel Good Movie" and it is, over and over.

Yes the story is derivative. So many plot devices are overused, but I didn't care. Yes, you really need to suspend reality at times, but that's common for Hallmark-like movies. (I think this is Hallmark, but I've never seen it there.)

There are no really unreasonable people in the movie, who I can find annoying. So much is predictable. Again, I didn't care. So many things were done so well. I didn't find the story slow at all because there was enough going on.

What are those things done so well? The kids are definitely precocious, and they are definitely interesting. Charlotte Labadie is definitely cute even if I find it hard to believe she is 8 years old. Both kids handle their roles well and it's entertaining.

The "what if" hanging over most of the film brings a deep emotional feeling. Allison Sweeney makes it real. Combine her what if fears with what she has already been through and what Jeff's been through and it draws you into the story. But it's the kids that turn out to be the smart ones.

The kids and their story telling job does throw in a slightly different angle, and it is a sweet one. In fact there are so many sweet moments.

In recent years, I've grown to like Allison Sweeney as being a reliable veteran for Hallmark and similar movies. This movie was before I knew her that way and I couldn't tell experience-wise that this wasn't one of her latest performances. Greg Vaughan was solid and had chemistry with Sweeney and the kids. In fact, maybe it was obvious too early that this group clicked together. The kid actors did a good job also, but the kids were written a little too mature. (And they get around with little supervision way too much.)

There's good values and respect. There's none of the negative stuff like sex or bad language.

This movie will be too cheesy, or to predictable, or maybe even too slow for some. But it is exactly what it sets out to be, and it is done very well to that end in acting, directing, production, and story.
