Boring. Predictable. Bad acting. Even Tyler Hynes seemed disinterested in the movie, and he was the star. This one includes a lot of the classic Hallmark beats - military vet comes home, stranger stranded when his car breaks down in a tiny town and they can't find the missing part, some sort of family business in peril and needing a boost, man involved with a woman who's all wrong for him - but it adds up to a big snoozefest. Big age and abilities differences between the leads doesn't help.

It's a really good movie to watch and I highly recommended it. Lauren Alaina acting ability is so good, and she suited the role. What makes it more awesome about the film is that she included two of her songs. I'm impressed with her acting, the smile it's amazing and songs it just wow!!! Awesome Movie. Way to go Lauren! What a debut!

I wasn't expecting to like this movie but Tyler Hynes was so good and Lauren Alaina was sweet in her role. Lauren has a great voice. The story was cute and funny.

As usual Tyler Hynes was spectacular, I'm a big fan. I saw great chemistry between him and Lauren Alaina. I will buy anything with Tyler Hynes in it, he is an incredible actor. So far Tyler has done 3 movie with country singers, "It's Christmas Eve" with LeAnn Rimes was great, chemistry wise and plot wise. I have watched this numerous times. "The Mistletoe Secret " with Kellie Pickler was terrible, the girl can't act and can barely sing. Tyler Hynes and Christopher Russell both tried but even their combined talent could not save this movie. It is the only Tyler Hynes movie that I have not been able to re-watch. Sorry, I strayed off topic. The plot was fresh and interesting. In spite of several small military glitches, for instance, not removing your cover when you go inside, ponytail hanging down her back, both big no no's. But I loved her line "I'm combat trained, I don't need to poison you with barbecue sauce to kill you." And Grandpa Tucker's country witticisms were classic. Tyler Hynes always turns in a stellar performance and Lauren Alaina was a nice surprise, beautiful singing voice and great acting job for a first time actress, she is definitely a talent to watch. The acting on the part of the supporting cast was really great. Loved the budding romance between Aunt Willa and Dan the agent. Also, Rowdy in particular turned in a spot on performance in his interpretation of George Jones, the dog. Good family film. My advice: Watch this movie.

When Callie gets off the bus, I'm surprised that Hallmark wouldn't get a military consultant to check the authenticity of her uniform. No rank on hat or uniform, American flag wrong orientation, questionable patches, etc. Otherwise, I appreciated the emphasis on the VA.

This was typical Hallmark fare. Callie comes home, finds out her boyfriend has moved on while she was gone. She is broken up for about 5 minutes, then meets Luke and forgets she's depressed. There were a few unlikeable moments, like when she leaves Luke stranded on the side of the road because he asks her to stop and take a phone call. She stops and waits maybe 90 seconds and abandons him. So much for country hospitality. Made her very unlikeable at first and took a bit of time to feel sympathetic toward her again. There was no reason for her to take off and leave - she just shouldn't have stopped in the first place...was poor writing.... She spends the entire movie spouting her grandfather's wisdoms, but doesn't quite live up to them all the time - also poor writing. There was good relationship development between Callie and Luke, didn't push too fast or any stupid professions of love. The story could have done without all the side plots, though, there were quite a few that distracted at times. There was some decent chemistry between the leads, but some of Callie's "sass" just came off as snarky and rude. Lauren Alaina was mediocre for her first Hallmark attempt, hopefully she'll improve with time if they plan to cast her again. They chose Tyler Hynes to star opposite the singer-turned-actress because he's a strong actor and can make anyone look good. She has a great voice, but I'm weary of all the singing in the Hallmark movies lately - do they all have a "must sing a song" in their contracts? Better writing and original story lines would do a more effective job of attracting audiences and retaining them than all the singing....

We liked this movie and were impressed with the job Lauren Alaina did. She seemed very natural. We hope Hallmark finds other parts for her. Tyler Hynes is one of our favorite Hallmark guys! We watch Hallmark movies because of the feel good stories and this was no exception. I will admit, the story line is a bit weak but, overall we enjoyed the movie.

One of the worst Hallmark movies. The actress who played Callie can't act her way out of a paper bag. Tyler was the best he could be with a really terrible script. Felt sorry for him having to try to act with someone so obviously poorly prepared. Poor research into military.

The story had a different new fresh story line which I appreciated but the actress lacked experience. She returns home from the military (2 years) then expects everything to be the same. Searches for her grandfathers recipe through the 1st half. Cheesy flirting with between the costars while he has a girlfriend and they are planning to make a movie together. The end was beyond boring as we see Tyler Hayes try to be with his girlfriend but secretly love Lauren. The car scenes were beyond hard to watch. When did it become SO FAKE???? I almost turned it off so many times but thought it might get better. Won't watch again.
