I enjoyed watching this movie because of its sweetness and general feel-good vibes. If you are looking for an epic movie that will be remembered throughout all time... this is not for you. But if you are looking for an easy to watch, romantic and slightly cheesy movie for a girls night-in... this is just right!

It's a light play, and a reasonably predictable story arc. Think "It's A Wonderful Life ... Light" The actors are attractive and likable.Better than Hallmark. Way better than Lifetime. Filmed in Alabama, but with no accents.Have a cup of tea, watch it while you're folding laundry or something.

Makes the writing of Nicholas Sparks read like Shakespeare compared to the screenwriter (I use the term loosely) of this fiasco. Everything about this script is adolescent, trite and predicable. Religious overtones only make the story worse, not better. The fact that this film got made certainly does prove the line in the movie "that God works in mysterious ways."

nothing extraordinary about the plot- it's a rom com. some nice moments from other actors but the main one she tries way too hard/ OK and the one issue I have is i've seen a handful of movies centered around characters who can sing. Some stories better than others but at least the actors did their own singing which makes the role real. Lip syncing is so cheesy and throws the whole scene if not movie off kilter. OK there was no lead-in explanation to this supposed perfect woman having a musical background. one 10 second bit of her playing piano in the beginning and then all of a sudden at some do-gooder fundraiser she is putting on a concert- and lip syncing, a beautiful song but not her piano and not her singing. And then boring holes in the guy's face. Because lets face it if it were really her with a passion for music and singing that song she would have been feeling it and not glaring stonily at this Ben person. Would have been more real to get someone who can actually sing. Anyway, always love Jon Lovitz for some alternate energy in the movie to make it otherwise just a story about a sad and lonely girl with friends whose only mission for 90 minutes is to hook her up. I admit I've seen my share of rom coms, just that some writers try harder to add more depth to the story and not just make it about boy meets girl, girl bats eyelashes at boy, and the only 'conflict' is whether she runs back to boy A or falls for boy B. not riveting as far as plots go. Sub plots are allowed in rom coms too ;)
