While it won't win any major award it was your typical hallmark romantic movie. With a little twist. It was nice to see Erik Strada perform again. He should have been a bigger star.

I put the blame squarely on the director for ridiculous acting, especially at the beginning. As the movie develops, you can actually see some of it improving, but there's not onw actor in this film that comes off well and the movie did have potential to be a fair rom/com, though never a great one.

First, rating this for what it is. If you don't like made for TV movies, or you're not one to say "let's not take ourselves so seriously and let's just have some fun moments in life", this isn't for you. We have some talent gathered on this film that seems to have some fun with a light-hearted script about a young, creatively bold woman that wants to choose her own path but has been ruled by the mighty dollar most of her life. With the passing of her mother, she is left with a big decision. Does she move forward down the path she was raised on and expected to follow or does she take control of her own life? At the start of the movie, everyone seems to be doing it for the money (characters and actors). While introducing the characters, some characters were a little over zealous and overplayed. But once the story is in motion, everyone starts to settle in. The actors disappeared into their characters and I got swept away in the transitions. The storyline has a nice build, creating an urgency that requires an all or nothing mentality. It's moments like this, when one's back is against the wall, that one decides who they really are. There are two clear camps here. A team driven by money that agrees in advance, on their roles in this crazy scheme to deceive the family. Another team, working individually to hold onto what they've always known, driven by money, control and greed. Stress is often an opportunity for growth and most of these characters face some challenges that force some self-reflection, but In the end, most allow that process to take place and they are the better for it. At the peak, each of the character's true characteristics break through the facade and reveal themselves. The veils fall off and you see who these characters really are. I enjoyed the ending, although, I felt there was a small miss in the bar scene. I would have liked a more inspirational scene for a man that finally chooses to follow his dream, after years of hiding it. Overall, I was pleasantly entertained which is the whole reason I love movies. Great for a bit of Saturday afternoon R&R.

...well that explains everything. Just awful. The acting is poor, and I'm sad that the 3 main male actors had to stoop to get THIS work. Thank God Hollywood is shut down for now!!!

What a waste. Nadine Velasquez can be funny, but the script gives her nothing, bottom of the barrel.

The story has her dad wanting her married to inherit his fortune. Why did the script have the father winning the lottery? Why couldn't it have him be a successful businessman? There's some not subtle prejudice there.

Any humor or whimsy is lost by bad direction as well. You can almost hear the performers waiting after each line for the laugh track to be inserted. Without it, it's painfully unfunny.

If you want to watch just to look at Velsaquez, there are better choices. My Name Is Earl reruns, or her nude scene in Flight.

Ignore the TV movie haters. Look at the ratings chart- more "10"s than any other rating.

I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. It was cute, charming, intelligent, not clearly derivative of other "marriage gimmick" movies.

It has a Latino cast - all of whom are top extremely pleasant Latino TV talent. I thought the leads Velasquez, Consuelos, and Estrada all did fine acting jobs.

Yes. You kinda knew where this was headed - like all such similar plot movies, but it was an enjoyable ride, and I was engaged throughout.

For a charming light hearted romantic comedy, it's just what you're looking for.

Highly recommend!
