Maria Bello is a great actor, her performance in this Hallmark movie is as good as before; no question about it. Her appearance on the Hallmark TV movies also enhanced Hallmark's WATCHABLE value. This movie in general, is not bad, but some formulaic formats of Hallmark still has big room to improve. The first thing they need to improve is the usual lame and shallow SOUNDTRACK that almost every time giving us a lightweight, B-level production impression. The music with this movie is no exception. Especially when the movie started, that annoying light-feet goofy music almost turned me off right away, making it nearly unwatchable. All the soundtrack music in this movie were overly used, trying so hard to mimic every on-going scene is actually not necessary. Sometimes, a silent soundless scene is even more suspenseful than any sound, if the leading actor is good enough, she or he could grab more attention from us by their great performance at those critical moments; the soundtrack would suddenly not just unnecessary but even become annoying. Less is more should be a motto for Hallmark to abide with.
Again, with the great performance of Ms. Bello, this movie has become more valuable to watch; except the annoying soundtrack.
