This movie was about what you would expect from a romance of the Hallmark channel variety (Pixl/UP TV, in this case). Not bad, but nothing special or out of the ordinary.
To be fair, the visuals were very good. The B&B and its surroundings were beautiful, and it looked just like someplace you'd love to stay. The characters were warm, genuine an likable, with the exception, of course, of the evil, slimy reality host Jared. I love how he left the show in a huff, allowing the much nicer Gina to host the show. The only thing better would have been for him to get some kind of comeuppance for being such a jerk. Maybe being forced to take a humiliating job on a bad show, playing a clown or a guy dressed up as a dinosaur.
The plot about the struggling B&B was somewhat engaging, and you really didn't know how they were going to save that B&B, especially since it seemed certain that slimeball Jared was going to trash the place on his show. The main romance between Andy and Diane seemed a bit underdeveloped. There needed to be more chemistry between them. The other romances with the sub-characters were okay, but not super engaging. I'm not sure how the starving artist was able to stay long-term in the B&B, unless kind-hearted owner Helen was letting him stay there for free. Anyway, I wasn't really feeling sparks between any of the three couples.
So, this wasn't a bad movie. It was a sweet, feel-good movie, which is exactly what we would expect. But there wasn't enough drama, passion, or anything overly interesting to make it a really compelling movie to watch. It was more like something you'd watch late at night to relax and fall asleep to .
