At one time, Hallmark celebrated commitment to marriage, and working thru the tough times. Not in this movie.
Rachel Boston plays Helen, a wife of almost 20 years. After dropping their daughter at college, Paul, the husband, played by Patrick Gilmore, drops a bombshell. He wants a separation. Helen barely reacts. No tears, no yelling, no discussion. She does lay on the couch a bit and eats ice cream.
A stray dog shows up, a chance meeting of Ben, played by Warren Christie, who is also a Veterinarian in training. They keep running into each other, and soon realize they like each other. (This after maybe 2 weeks after husband Paul has walked out.)
At the meeting for the legal aspect of the divorce, hubby wants to work it out. But wifey, after just a few weeks, has decided she likes who she is now, and she has this new guy as well.
The only emotion we see is when the stray dog eats chocolate, and then later goes missing. Not when hubby leaves. Wifey is smiley and chipper, especially after meeting another 40something grunge rocker played by a 50something Lynda ugh Boyd.
Terrible movie, making a 20 year marriage seem like a simple car lease, able to be traded in on a new color.
There is a side story about the new college student, which is unnecessary to the movie. What a stinker.
