I don't blame Tricia Helfer or Marc Blucas. They did the best they could with the script they were given. But, Blucas definitely had more chemistry with Brook D'orsay's character in the following year's MISS CHRISTMAS. While Tricia Helfer was more believable as Caleb's divorced mom in 2013's FINDING CHRISTMAS!
I also objected to the scene where the actress playing Olivia's younger sister calls Olivia a coward. As far as I'm permanently concerned, that was an overly harsh term that the writers had no legitimate need to include in the dialogue for that scene. Because, while it might be cowardice for a bride or groom to desert their intended spouse, quite literally, at the altar, it is most definitely _not_ cowardice for any real-life woman, in the same situation as Olivia, to have doubts about taking an active-duty career soldier as a second husband. It is, in fact, an all-too justifiable concern!
Don't get me wrong. My inner hopeless romantic is glad there was a happy ending for both parties! But, I still regard Olivia's sister using the word "cowardice," in reference to Olivia's not-unreasonable hesitancy, as the sign of a holier-than-thou hypocrite.
Which, as far as I'm permanently concerned, makes her worse than a coward.
