"I don't know what I'm doing." True words for the characters in this movie. I suspect different things tie together in a rather clever way, but maybe not. I saw hints of that but I wasn't able to fit all the pieces.
The story is jumbled and messy. And maybe given the situation Erica was in that's totally appropriate. Can you even imagine what she's been through? I think the script and Courtney Ford show all that to some degree, at least enough to make me pause and wonder.
As we progress through the early parts of the movie, we are introduced to an icon - Seth. The writers intentionally build him up bigger than life. Perfect. But the viewer has to wonder if it's true. Later, I think this subject could have been explored better, but there was a hint of something. Actually two somethings. One about Erica and Seth. One about Erika and Nate. Put the two together with Seth's death and anyone who can straighten out Erica's feelings has it more together than anyone I know.
Meanwhile there is April and her fiancée. April is showing her jumbled emotions in an even messier way than Erica. I thought this was a nice parallel thread.
This isn't an upbeat story. There is some humor here and there but it doesn't really lift the tone a lot.
The acting is good. Or maybe it is totally bad because the actors don't understand their emotions, but I think more likely it is good, especially Courtney Ford. I did have a little trouble figuring out David Stanbra's Mark, especially his las scene.
For quality, assuming some of the messier things were played exactly how it was intended, I give 8 stars. For enjoyability 4. Net 6 stars.
BTW, I don't remember too many Hallmark movies (at least it was on Hallmark streaming) where two unmarried people share a bed, and more than once.
