Amy Acker gets another opportunity to present herself with her consistently busy career in television and movies. She stars in this typical romance drama as an aspiring writer reviewing books for a local newspaper. This predictable romance movie involves her character falling for the dashing, famous but anonymous writer that forms the basis of this movie like similar ones with the same plot outline. Both Amy and her co-star Dylan Bruce handle their performances competently with a smoothly written and edited script. Somehow this fun movie performs as expected even as it avoids becoming loaded down with redundant or repeatedly dull or boring scenes the audience has seen hundreds of times before. While not a breakout romance drama, the actors, director, and writers are able to carry this movie off as a worthwhile effort to be seen on Hallmark Movies Now.
