I don't like poaching stories. By poaching I mean a character setting sights on someone who is engaged. That's what David does, and as a matter of fact, so does the dental hygienist. I'm old fashioned. While engaged isn't married, I still think it should mean "not available" as long as the engagement is active. So I'm down 2-3 stars right off the bat.
So let's try to overlook that part and go from there. Whenever Tyler Hynes was on the screen, the movie was good. He had great chemistry with Erin Krakow. I still think the Krakow is a bit passive as an actor, so it was up to Hynes to create the sparks and he did. David had the witty dialogue. Elizabeth was mostly a foil until later in the movie.
Any time Giles Panton was on the screen (except for the scene by the car with Hynes) the movie was bad. George was a ridiculous character and part of that was Panton's acting, but only part.
Elysia Rotaru was pretty good as Louise.
The story follows the pretty standard lines until near the end. The inevitable parting of the leads was done a little differently than usual and then the last scene between Hynes and Krakow was very well written and acted.
score 6/10
