I know some people are going to downgrade this film because it features more variety of diversity, ethnicity, and gay/lesbian romance than they might be comfortable with... but Hallmark has made a commitment to produce more realistic films that portray people as they are and not just as some hope or dream they might be. This movie was well-written and conceived in such a way to show all kinds of people falling in love because of a Valentine's Day encounter with a special Cupid chocolate in a private chocolatier's store - and there were so many couples who got interviewed for their stories due to the skeptical reporter's assignment to flesh out this "urban myth" (instead of his usual job of exposing fakes who take people's money.) The concept and the delightful stories from these couples led to a beautiful romance in the final scene. Of course, it's fantasy and storytelling and magic - and a joy to watch if you have an open mind and a desire to be entertained.
