Storyline

Successful and driven single mom Jenna Thompson writes teen novels, and she has only five weeks to deliver the next one to her publisher. So, this year's annual beach vacation with her kids Nick (Luke Loveless) and Ally (Reagan Shumate), will be a working vacation for Jenna. Upon arrival, the family soon meets their new next-door neighbor, confident, devil-may-care surfer Lucas McKinnon, with whom they will be sharing walls and a patio for the next month. Lucas cranks up his music at night, sleeps late, and allows Tank to run around at will. Jenna bangs away at her novel with little success, often blaming Lucas' loud volleyball matches and irregular hours for her inability to progress. However, after Lucas finds himself bonding with Nick and Ally, Jenna begins to see a different side of Lucas, and when the two find themselves alone together one evening for dinner, each begins to see the other in a whole new - and attractive - light. Starring Amanda Righetti and Peter Porte.

So bad I had to change the channel

Disclaimer: I tend to like Hallmark movies. Sure, they're silly, but they are clean and end happily.

This movie was beyond my capacity to even finish it. I'm in the writing business. Who goes to the beach during the summer to write? When I'm at the beach, I bring ear plugs and my noise-canceling headphones so I can work.

And what the others said: The mother was far too controlling. The dog isn't allowed to roam where it wants (I get that), but her children can bother the owner whenever they want? How is it possible for a person to shut down volleyball games during the summer--the busiest season? IRL kids make far more noise at the beach than the adults. The mother was way too negative and uptight. This movie was a contradiction of typical Hallmark fare. Very disappointing. And yes--it's called the beach and not the shore, Hallmark.
