The main characters go very well together; from the start, their relationship is based on a bond of friendship and complicity. The story, even if it is not original, shows everyone's questions about past friendships, unfinished stories, what could have been. However, I really don't like this mania in the majority of romantic comedies where, towards the end of the movie, there is suddenly a problem, an irrelevant problem which seems unrealistic, that is magically and quickly resolved towards the end, which is what usually ruins the story.

I really loved this one! I admit I was in it for Janel Parrish & she was great. The chemistry between her & Marco Grazzini was so strong & they were so cute. The setting is gorgeous and who doesn't love it when food is involved. I also loved the little hints of Filipino food in the dishes Nick makes & I'm so glad the plot had him make those dishes. I love that despite the Hallmark romance tropes, the friendship between Carly & Nick was so fun to watch develop into more.

...the majority of Hallmark TV-movies, thanks in large part to the natural acting style of the leading man, Marco Grazzini. Yes, others in the cast are good, including Janelle Parrish and Hillary Jardine, but Grazzini plays it all so low-key, and with such self-effacing, easy-going charm, that he makes it believable that Nick and Carly are actually falling in love.
