Trivia
The back story for the male lead in this movie is that he was once a popular recording star who more or less retired from music and has lived a very different life as a B&B owner and widower with his now 20 yr old daughter. Of course he is still recognized by fans and still dabbles in singing, such that he sings several songs in each of the movies in this series (now up to #4). The interesting thing is that much of that describes Jack Wagner, himself. Older fans will remember that Jack toured and recorded in the 80's hitting the charts with "All I need", #2 on the US hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1985. His authentic guitar playing and singing are a far cry from the usual dubbed and faked musicianship for these movies.

Seriously, I couldn't take my eyes off it.

This one was actually not bad at all. The chemistry between Jack Wagner and Josie Bissett was good. They were both age appropriate despite numerous comments about Jack Wagner being 11 years older than Ms Bissett. They looked fine together. At least, at 45, she was playing a woman with a college age daughter instead of a toddler. Same for him. I liked that they did not try to follow the usual Hallmark formula and manufacture a secondary romance between their 2 kids. Instead, casting two talented young actresses who became instant buddies. Jack's daughter looked like a tall and thin Scarlett Johanssen. The one wrong note was Josie's god-awful wig. Why? Surely, if she needed a wig, Hallmark could have afforded one that looked natural. This one was so ugly, I am surprised Miss Bissett herself didn't speak up. I have seen more flattering wigs in a Halloween Costume shop. It was all very strange, especially since her make-up looked quite pretty instead of being laid on with a trowel like many of the Hallmark makeup artists do.
