Rachel Boston and Paul Campbell were great and seemed to really enjoy being together. There was real chemistry there. Although the un-funny puns got old after a while. Enough is enough already.
Zoe Christie as Emma, looked WAY to old to be a teenager with a crush. She just couldn't pull off playing a 16 year old. Frankly she looked closer to a 30 something. It spoiled the whole teenage Delaney dating part of the storyline. And sitting and staring ALL the time at the guy you have a crush on was just creeoy. I didn't blame the guy for ignoring her.
My advice: great family flilm, not Shakespeare, but entertaining.

6.9Plot summary
Since the divorce from her husband David, Maggie Delaney has partly moved on with her life in opening her own bakery, she and her business partner Devon who want to expand by opening a second location if only they could get more exposure. Maggie has to be all things to her two children, sixteen year old Emma and fourteen year old Gary, in David being a deadbeat father who doesn't have time for them despite his scheduled days with them which he never makes. Maggie comes to the realization that it is time for her to move on with the personal side of her life when her widowed mother Barb starts dating a man named Rick, Emma has her first crush on a classmate named Zack, but most importantly David announces that he is imminently getting remarried. Maggie entering the dating scene is easier said than done in not having gone on a date in twenty years. Widowed PR consultant Michael Taylor, Gary's best friend Will's father, and someone Maggie considers a friend herself, suggests that they, as friends, go on practice dates together to hone their dating skills in a comfortable setting. As Maggie watches both Barb and Emma go through their dating highs and lows, she, as she goes through her own dates with men that she largely meets online, may not be able to see that Michael would like a chance to be that next man in her life in being there for her in every important aspect of life, and not just in a practice sense.

It's the main actors more than the story
This is mostly a typical story with some minor differences. In ways, it's not a lot different than the last movie starring Boston and Campbell, The Last Bridesmaid. The leads hang together avoiding any sense they are dating each other. In this one, they knew each other already and decide to help each other enter the dating market by "practicing". Add to that story a daughter that has a crush but spends time with her lab partner and grandmother who already is well on her way to a new beau.
Boston and Campbell have great chemistry together. Any couple who can banter the "bad" jokes and puns so smoothly has to have chemistry. They have tons of fun together and the audience tags along.
The ex-husband is there mostly as a stereotype of an absolutely terrible dad. He was a little too much.
There are no great highs or lows and definitely no surprises but the movie is still fun.

Such a welcome view!
I often write reviews about movies I don't like. This review is for a Hallmark movie that really touched me positively from the beginning to the sweet end. Of course, the lead actors need chemistry and rapport to make a good romance, and these two are such good friends and partners even before they realize the relationship in full depth. Supporting actors (including the kids) were solid, and there were none of the extra plot kinks that make for awkward breakups or interruptions of the action. I highly recommend this one and honestly cannot think of anything major to gripe about. What fun!
