7/10
Formulaic, yes, but I enjoyed it

Warning: Spoilers
First things first, I love the cast. From PATRICIA RICHARDSON, ERIN KRAKOW, JEAN LOUISA KELLY, ABRAHAM BENRUBI, ALBERT MALAFRONTE, and yes, even KAITLIN DOUBLEDAY(Celeste)

As for RYAN MCPARTLIN, well, he's handsome, but is it just me, or is he trying to sound like Ryan Paevey. Well, maybe I'm imagining things, or it's just a coincidence.

IAN ANDREW, who plays Donny, although a good actor, is not so adorable here. His character is actually very annoying. Donny wasted petrol/gasoline so that his dad and Samantha would have more time together. Who wastes gas?

As for the story, it's sort of predictable, but the DOBROFSKY couple is very creative. I know some of the viewers might not agree with me, because they think they made Samantha stupid by believing Celeste, but she did come back because she doubted her. Unfortunately, she had to see that kiss between them. Hmm...Yes, it's kind of an overused "conflict" scene, and between the two leads, they had lots of chances, especially when they were alone overnight, to kiss. When they do get the chance one morning, not even caring about morning breath and all(maybe they both use SCOPE---or breath tabs), there were some disruptions...the kids(Donny and friends). I hate that about most hallmark G rated flicks.

Enough of the spoilers, and I better cut this "short". :-p I've said enough already, but I must reiterate that I did enjoy this movie, flaws and all.
