Every actor in this movie is bad. None of the characters is likeable. The only positive is the cute dog.
The lead is yet another one of the "sullen beauties" who are taking over TV. It looks like smiling or, God forbid, laughing is unfashionable and takes too much energy for them. Various idiotic "reasons" are put in place so the heroine can be as frustrated and upset as she can be. (Not angry, just upset, because she lacks range for strong emotions) Somehow, somebody thought "sullen" makes characters interesting and has started a trend.
The idea behind the story could work but the writing is atrocious. She loves dogs but, for a weird reason, won't get one, only foster them? That is stupid. (And I only mean that it's stupid in this context, not that there aren't people out there who can't adopt dogs, for valid reasons.) What's up with the stupid Muscovado sugar theme? Just go to the store and buy a pound of sugar, if it's that important. Or stop mentioning it... Marketing a person, really???!? Is that where we are, right now, with people who are so artificial that someone needs to tell them what their life is supposed to be about?

I liked . It is the simple conclusion after the final credits.
I liked for idea, for performances, for development of story, for drawings, for relation mother - daughter, for Patches not last.
Indeed, the presence of pets in Hallmark films represents, always, a good point, but in this case , Patches is real a virtue .
Christine. L. Nguyen proposes a charming portrait of vulnerable Daisy in her way to self definition and Jamie Spilchuk works very well with a sort of innocence to naivety , the love being a sort of fine embroidery of curiosity, gratitude and return to simplicity of a lifestyle pure old fashion.
So, Patches and its people.
