Wow! We watch Hallmark movies because they are wholesome and have happy endings. But this movie was definitely the worst Hallmark movie I've ever seen! And I've seen quite a few that weren't very good.Poor plot, poor script, poor acting. Not one surprise in the movie. Absolutely hokey! Deleted immediately.Is Hallmark hiring rookie writers that can't get a job?

Oh, Hallmark. As much as I love you, you are disappointing me. Again. I was excited to see Jen Lilly and Ryan Peavey "peared"(sorry!!) for this movie, as as they two very attractive leads (especially Ryan). However, attractiveness does not equal chemistry and there is none between "Luna" (maybe a reference to the ever present full moon?) and Will. The plot line of course is girl meets boy, they dislike each other, meet again and fall in love. Totally Hallmark formula, not to mention big career city girl (sometimes a widow, as in this one) with a child(red). You know the rest. Something things that bothered me:The school-age son (who was adorable and very sweet) gets a fall break. Now, the majority of schools go back in the fall and there is no week-long break right after school starts. Luna is young enough to be barely out of residency, never mind all the fellowships that surgeons need to complete before being able to perform on their own. But Luna is up for a huge promotion, something that in the real world comes to those who are probably in their 40s and/or 50s; not someone just out of residency. She also performed 7 surgeries in one day--that's extreme--I work in a major medical center and that is highly unusual. Ms. Lilley's character smiled and giggled way too much as well.Maybe I am being over critical with the above, but c'mon, Hallmark. Make an effort to be even the tiniest bit realistic. In all honesty, I watched the whole thing because I find Mr. Peavey very attractive and even watched most of it again on Sunday, hoping that I missed something redeemable the night before. Sadly I did not. I know we have to suspend reality while watching these movies; however, an added dose of reality will make these movies much more enjoyable and the implausible endings a bit more believable.

When you watch a Hallmark movie you have to accept the fact that it's going to be a wholesome, feel good movie and not much else. There is nothing wrong with that and being a big Jen Lilley fan I tuned in with some anticipation.Luna(Jen Lilley)..."Luna"? What kind of name is that for a human being outside of Star Trek?...plays the role of an up and coming Seattle surgeon who has been recently widowed. She returns home to help with her family's burgeoning pear orchard. Only intending to stay briefly, she falls in love with small town life style and the pear ranch's handy man and decides to stay permanently.(Realistic?) Not much of a plot here and very few, if any, unexpected twists and turns. Even the engaging and charming personality of Jen Lilley couldn't save this one.

I've seen about 80 Hallmark movies in the last year. I'm a sucker for romance and these types of movies. I love their typical romance and their themes. Out of the 80, I disliked around 10, 15 probably. And this movie? It's definitely in the top five of the worst.These movies lasts one hour and a half and it took two hours and 45 to finish it. I've seen Jen Lilley before and I loved both movies I saw her in and her characters. However, her character in here is boring and she spends the whole movie smiling. And I spent most of it wondering whether her jaw was hurting or not.The main male lead? I didn't connect with him either. Honestly, I don't even know his last name. The only character I sympathized with was Andy, that child was adorable and he did a great job. Chemistry? Didn't feel it either. And I felt there was not plot in here. No exciting things happened. It was really disappointing. I've always given these movies more than 6 stars because I enjoy the characters, the story and the theme. But i'm giving this a 4 only because the child was adorable.
