Goofs
2 minutes into the movie Darcy leaves the table right after she announced to her colleagues she will be back in a minute. She is holding her phone in her right hand at that time. In the next scene she's is walking away without holding her phone. The very next shot she's holding her phone in her right hand again.

Quotes
Riley: I knew this was a bad idea.
Darcy: No. No, no. Riley. You know the old show business saying. A bad rehearsal makes for a great performance.
Riley: That's true. That's true. That's true.

Interesting effort.

There sure are a lot of mean reviews for this movie. Sounds like some are trying to knock the ubiquitous Candace off of her Hallmark throne. I am not a huge Candace fan, but she's harmless and she has never looked lovelier than in this tribute to The Wizard of Oz. I thought it was very cleverly done with the names, the characters, and the situations. There wasn't much of a plot, but at least it wasn't a stale rehash of the same old Hallmark set-pieces. I watched it to the end with not fast-forwarding, and that's worth at least a 6 or a 7. I'm not sure why she got so mad at "Glen Goodman" (Glenda the Good witch,Ha Ha) at the end, but that's just standard procedure to set up the happy ending.
