This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This is a silly formulaic rom-com. Amy Acker plays Sophie the same way she plays every role; hesitant speech, fixed, semi-smile regardless of the line she's delivering and heavenward gaze with her eyes, rolled around at every opportunity as if someone told her she has expressive eyes, so she works them at every opportunity. The plot is thin: book critic unknowingly falls in love with the author of a book she's slammed. Sophie is supposed to be a writer and literary critic, in line for a New York magazine job, yet acts like an unsophisticated bumpkin, agog being seated in First Class, taking a selfie while riding in a limo "because her friends will never believe it!" Oh please. Liam is supposedly a very successful author of best-sellers but he's wowed by this small town, cardigan wearing woman who stalks him when he meets with a client and talks with "other women." I give it 3 stars only because the other cast members are OK (even if there IS a token, wise black man friend!) and the scenery is lovely. Shot in wonderfully scenic British Columbia, I'm always puzzled why the writers just don't set the films there; why must BC always "fill in " for US locations? Are we so parochial that we won't watch a movie set outside the US? Sheeesh.

I have a question: which year is now? Is it 1950? 1800 or 2016? It's not a start of a cinema. But in this movie actors simply don't know how to act. Good idea was turned down by terrible acting. Dylan Bruce looks scared all the time, afraid of something or somebody. I'm not convinced with such low acting. Charles S. Dutton also acts like in school drama - shy and scared. What's going on? Overall - boring, way too boring. The movie could be splendid but actors playing is weak. While watching the only thought was in mind: fake fake fake. Such movies you forget after less than an hour... I don't recommend to waist time. Giving 2 stars only for the theme - books.

I only gave it 5/10, judging it as a general movie. But as a romantic comedy it scores much higher.It ticks off all the usual romantic comedy plot points, very competently and satisfyingly. Man meets woman, falls in love, unwilling concealments leads to misunderstandings and obstacles, everything gets worked out at end with help of friends and love, there are tears. Though thankfully there is no villain.It has likable (but not perfect) clean cut white characters, with token minority characters. It is shot in tourist brochure backgrounds.It stays within the bounds of modern western politically correct 'liberal' ideology, as such is outside bounds of realism. It preaches honesty, being true to yourself, reality and power of perfect love, etc. As such most of the dialogue is not worth any attention.However, i found movie genuinely funny at points, not unintentionally either.Another extra, it has Amy Acker, always a very good thing in any movie or TV. Other actors were not bad performers either, though some of the direction was bit clumsy.

This movie really surprised me. When I read the premise I was quite skeptical, believing that this movie would be another one of Hallmark's cheesy rom-coms (not that that's a bad thing!) but I quality of this movie was great!The lead actors were fantastic, particularly Amy Acker who delivered a great performance. I thought the writing of this movie was really great, as it didn't end in the cliché way I thought it would. I liked that the characters faced more strife and trouble in their relationship than the average Hallmark romance. 9/10 stars. You lost the last star in the finale moment. Just a teensy bit corny. Otherwise a great flick. Recommended.
