What you need in a film like this is an attractive young woman who can act; a presentable male lead who can act; and a genuine story involving characters who you feel able to care about. Everyone knows what the plot is and how the story ends, so the mystery and interest lies in the journey as opposed to the destination.

Emily Kinney is a very attractive woman who acts very well. She brings a lot of charm and warmth to her role and male viewers induced by their female friends to watch this film will find her likable and pleasing to watch. John Reardon is suitable to be a male lead and looks like he might be a professional sportsman; he also can act the part. The story is predictable but engaging and well written, with well observed characters and situations. The correct boxes are ticked and more than this, the film is a good entertainment; which after all is the whole point of a film such as this.

I enjoyedthis movie.

Emily Kinney as Laurel Welk was new to me, and I was pleasantly surprised, she and John Reardon as Danny Holland had instant chemistry. Reardon has been a favorite of mine since I watched The Christmas Secret with Bethany Joy Lenz.

The story/plot was typical Hallmark formula and gave us everything we have come to expect from Hallmark. Humor, miscommunication, conflict, romance. A sweet movie.

My only complaint is that I thought it was bizzare to name a female dog Knute after Knute Rockne.

My advice - watch this movie, it's worth it.

The usual Hallmark fanfare, but it is nicely done. When a star football played is injured, he fires his assistant and as no one else is available, the agency sends a female. The guy really shows his sexist tenets by not really wanting her and becoming very standoffish.

Invariably, love shall blossom for the two of them. The idea that he thought that she was involved with his fellow team mate instead of the fact that the latter had become involved with his own sister was somewhat difficult to fathom, but I guess that was needed to further the plot along.

This chauvinistic guy comes down to reality and realizes that she is the girl for him, not that model who kept throwing herself at him.

The assistant shows the typical female side regarding her ignorance of football.
