This movie had a great start.... The executive who pretend to be a secretary to date someone who likes her for her and not her money... But then it's all downhill. Jack, our leading man, is a nurse - and he's ashamed to admit it. He takes abuse for being a "male nurse" for the first 20 minutes of the movie from every person he meets - including his patients - really?!? Did we somehow get transported back to the 1950's where nursing is considered "women's work"?!? Who wrote this drivel? Did any of the writers ever MEET a nurse? Nurses work harder than any man working in an office ever will. And a nurse may not make what a doctor makes, but it certainly isn't minimum wage... But everyone's attitude in this movie is a male nurse just isn't good enough. This is the dumbest thing I've seen from Hallmark yet. Then to make matters worse - Jack is afraid to tell the "secretary" he's dating that he's a nurse and not a doctor, worried she'll break things off. Her father - when he's in the hospital later in the movie - doesn't believe Jack is a male nurse, says it's a practical joke, then later asks him if his girlfriend "minds" that he's a nurse?! The ex-boyfriend tells Jack she'd be mortified to find out he's a nurse and not a doctor?! She finds out he's a nurse and she IS mortified?! Way to belittle an entire profession in the span of a single movie. She tells him she was just disappointed he lied to her - but with her reaction, the implication is even SHE thinks a nurse isn't good enough for a CEO. The movie tries to recover at the end with her epiphany that she is a snob and she tells her dad that "even if it doesn't look good on paper", she loves Jack. What?!? That doesn't even make sense. Because Jack's a nurse, he doesn't "look good on paper?!" I didn't expect this type of prejudice from Hallmark.
