Oh my!! What a gem,I really enjoyed this one. Lead guy was nerdy hot. That smile, damn!! The lead girl how can u ever fault her, such a darling . Always loved her from one tree hill.

Closed off businesswoman Abbey Lawrence (Bethany Joy Lenz) gets stood up again. Her aunt Francis suggests following her dad in writing a letter in a bottle and sending it out into the world. Three months later, fisherman Nick Everson (Andrew W. Walker) finds the bottle in Alaska. He happens to be the son of her boss. He's asked to return to Boston for his sister Sophie's wedding and work with Abbey on her project. It's a semi-setup and neither side is happy. Meanwhile, they unknowingly become email pen pals over the bottle.

The premise is a little cheesy but surprisingly effective. There is the expectation of an eventual meet up. It would have been much better if they fight in business and be the perfect couple online. It would be "You've Got Mail", and all the better for it. The closer they become in business. The less intensity is their confrontation and the less reason there is for him to skip their first meeting. This is set up for the classic rom-com but it veers slightly away. The couple is still adorable and it's still good for a Hallmark romance.

This is getting to be a well used trope, but in this case it is done well. Bethany Joy Lenz and Andrew J Walker appear to be having fun with their parts playing off one another. As always in this genre, the leads have to have antagonism at the start. I wish that could have been done without Abbey being so cold and withdrawn, but then it also gave her a chance to grow as a person.

At least the movie didn't have the line "I hoped it would be you."

I also liked that there weren't so many loose ends that had to be tied up in HEA's.
