Of course there were flaws in this movie, but I didn't notice. Such a sweet story.
It has an unusual premise for the fake marriage, but the religious background was handled with respect. Most of the characters had real faith in God. I was slightly uncomfortable with the presumption in the plot that new ways are acceptable even when they mean rejecting the rules that have previously been followed or that are followed by more conservative people of the same faith, like shorter skirts (but also more subtle things).
Lauren Ambrose played this perfectly. I fell totally in love with Leah. Not Ambrose, but Leah. Another reviewer said she was homely, but Leah's beauty was truly from a depth inside and she was truly beautiful. Adam Kaufman and Ambrose had chemistry. Their love was believable despite the crazy situation.
There were little things done so well by the actors. Leah seeing things in Jake's room, seeing Carol's picture, later meeting Carol.
I didn't see the cause of the inevitable conflict coming, but I knew there would have to be something. I don't know if that was crazy or not, but I believed that too.
This is sappy, sugary, sentimental Hallmark at its best.
