The romance TV movie genre has a special privilege that no other genre has: a free pass for using the most insanely unbelievable plot devices in order to make the story move forward. This movie abuses this concept to the point that even hardcore lovers of cheesy romance with a well trained suspension of disbelief would find it impossible to stay immersed in the story without getting constantly disrupted by "What the hell...!" moments.
To give a non-spoiler example, an overweight military mom with a ridiculous amount of badges that would place her in the war hero category. But that's just to keep this review spoiler free, it gets much worse, especially in things involving the actual plot.
Besides that, it had the potencial to be a really nice movie: the chemistry between the protagonists works really well, the character development of the female protagonist is quite decent and, this is something rarely seen on these movies, child actors that are actually good and not completely cringeworthy.
I say watch it only if you're absolutely sure you have no better option.
score 6/10
