This is about a woman writer of poems and her current life struggles with being published. She is helping grandpa find his old love from ages ago. She runs into an old boyfriend who eventually becomes the love interest again. He is also her main competition on getting her book released. They are now collaborating on a romance project, interviewing various people in the search. He is being nice, he wants her to excel, she is suspicious and dodgy because she doesn't trust the process. They gallivant around town to town on this project, argue, discuss, disagree come to some form of agreement...eventually things fall into place.
The lead female is a good actress, seen her in various Hallmark. This film is nothing special, in fact she is standoffish for the most part throughout. Not very flattering.
Grandpa has a secondary fluff part and is just a nice elderly man that smiles a lot and sincerely cares for everyone, but doesn't want to rock the boat or cause any stress for anyone.
The lead male is quirky and interesting, unfortunately this film does not help his career.
A young girl in her early teens is also in the picture. I think she's the lead male's daughter, but they have a strange relationship. Maybe he's her uncle, I forget. I saw this weeks ago, just getting to this review. She is endearing and grows on you and has been in several Hallmark films. I suspect this will be near the end of her run since she's now a teenager, and we know filmmakers don't cast kids once they lose the mystique. I digress.
This was just a so-so adventure, nothing stands out as special or interesting, it's just a bunch of people conversing about boring struggles with family and love. I won't visit this film again.
