Not a romance story, but still original and entertaining
The tech background gives this movie a different feel respect to what we're used to see in Hallmark productions. The plot is original and there seems to be more going on than in most movies of the genre, I just wish they had taken the extra mile and put a little more effort in polishing the details: the writers seem to believe that the audience is going to be completely illiterate in terms of technology and basic finances. Her app idea makes no sense whatsoever and we're even shown a bunch of code written in all caps that consists entirely on dummy instructions (although to be fair, I don't think a lot of people are going to pause the video and read it). Anyway, those things didn't keep me from enjoying it since the overall story is still well written and quite unpredictable. Just be aware that is not a romance story but one of self superation, not in a drama style but the light and funny rom-com style.This movie has only one problem: one of the romantic contenders is an idiot. There's nothing wrong in a character being an idiot, the problem is that in this case the character is supposed to be a charismatic and successful professional but the actor plays a complete sit-com buffoon, which creates a dissonance between what we're told and what we see that keeps us from fully believing and feeling invested in the story.
Overall, I still recommend it and if you're a fan of Hallmark this is definitely one you should watch.
score 8/10
