As for the movie itself, it's not as well done (or poorly, according to your tastes) as the typical Hallmark movie, but not remarkably bad. What is remarkable is the viciously bad acting performance by Anna Chlumsky. She doesn't really act -- she just makes faces toward the camera. Katherine Hepburn said, "Acting is the perfect idiot's profession." After watching Anna Chlumsky mug and clown her way through this film, I would like to nominate her for the award of Perfect Idiot Actress. The blatant attempt to sex up her character (at work in an office, no less!) in a Hallmark movie with a very tight T-shirt and a very short skirt is laughable, also.
