5.9 stars.
This movie is below average for Hallmark, which says: not much. I used to rate Hallmark movies on a different scale, but now after approximately 45 movies watched, they deserve the same consideration as any movies. Hallmark movies invariably fall within the 5.0 - 8.0 range, almost no exceptions, and... this one is no exception. Let me show you what I mean: Acting: 7, writing: 6, cinematography: 7, music: 7, editing: 7. All the right techniques are used, all the right feelings are aroused, everything goes according to plan.
Here's what it's missing: the wow factor, the pop, screen presence, chemistry, humor, and actual talented musical artists. Hit and miss for the on screen music. The on screen singers were abysmal, and ok, and good, and great, and ok, and even a "what was that"? I heard some 3 part harmony, and none of it was harmonious, it was awful.
The leads have almost zero chemistry. The guy looks 10-15 years her junior.
If you think either of them is eye candy, then have at it. I think they are pretty people, but it could not breathe life into this below average attempt to fit the mold.
