    Dogs are the glue

    7.7 stars.

    I was not quite sure what to expect with this one, considering it's about dogs, and usually when pets are the showcase of a movie, the romance and the rest of the story tends to be neglected. But I was pleasantly surprised by the well-rounded romance and so many endearing characters.

    This film will surprise you and I highly recommend it. The two dogs are so lovable and cute. The leading female is somewhat of an acquired taste, but she grows on you after a while. The lead male is a Hallmark staple, not as much these days, but he was a regular in 2017 when this was released.

    The storyline has been done 100 times but the characters are really interesting people. Everyone is so likable, this movie is good just for the personalities alone. Add some tension and a little bit of court room drama, and even more drama between the leads, and you've got yourself an almost great film. This is a dark horse for me and an unexpected treat.

    Loved the ending

    When you have two dogs that are best friends you can't fight that. Yes I recommend it. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 11-18-2020

    Very cute, very smart.

    Still watching, don't want it to end. Beaches, dogs, smart attractive people. Fun movie.

    Just your generic hallmark movie

    Overall this is not the best hallmark movie I've seen but the dog stole the show

    Adore

    This is absolutely one of my favorite Hallmark movies. I wish they would play it on the Hallmark Channel more, but I don't think I've seen it in a couple of years; thankfully, Hallmark movies now have it, and I can watch it whenever I want. The two dogs, Gidget and Simon, are so sweet and cute. Christy and Keith, the main leads, have incredible chemistry, and I enjoy their banter. I also enjoy all the other characters within the story. Her mom, the secret admirer, her friend and assistant, and of course, the boyfriend and then ex-boyfriend veterinarian. I always get a kick out of the scene when Christy runs into her ex Jeff at the dance.

    I could watch this movie daily.
