I don't mind made for TV Movie romantic movies. However, I have seen better. The cast are attractive and I like the night shots with the party lights and overall the ambiance. However, I never quite felt (and subsequently couldn't buy) the romantic leads connection. The sister of the lead is a C U Next Tuesday that acts atrociously towards the lead male and I couldn't wait for her to get her just desserts! Alas, this never happens and not so much as an apology or even and acknowledgment that he was a decent guy. That let me down. Don't make horrible characters without the audience getting some sort of vindication. This film leaves none. Also, this film follows the Hollywood (or is it Hallmark Channel) formula of romantic interests butt heads, get along, fall in love, and the girl feels betrayed in last 15 minutes and then everything is unsatisfactorily resolved at 2 minutes left. This film also goes right along with the formula of that the guy ends up apologizing for some non-issue at the end. The girl is always right is the moral of these stories and this film is no exception. However, this one leaves not much connection between the main characters and the way the lead woman is so angered, I don't see how she just suddenly goes, "Okay, I'm over it, let's have coffee and kids!"
