It's ok

It's probably the best Hallmark film that Lacey Chabert has done. It was obviously cheesy, but it did lack that typical Hallmark feel at parts. I will agree, the chemistry between the leads is lacking, but there's nothing misogynistic about this movie. He was hesitant, but agreed that he would support her and move to the city if that's what she really wanted. She made her own choice to pursue family over a career. It's not a generalization.
