I admit I was skeptical of the several glowing reviews, some saying this is the best Hallmark movie they have seen. That is, until my wife and I watched it tonight. We are regular Hallmark fans and yes, this one is a definite cut above most of them. Thanks in part to casting two leads who are veteran actors and also are accomplished singers, having performed on Broadway and even as guest singers with orchestras.
Set in New York City, Krysta Rodriguez is literature professor Mia Rivera. She is just going through a painful marriage breakup and has a young daughter. Santino Fontana is lounge singer and vocal coach Tony Romano. As fate (and script) would have it, when Mia and her daughter move into a new apartment they are on the same floor as Tony. Plus Tony is caring for his niece when his sister travels on business. Having two girls of similar age help with the story arc.
Being a Hallmark movie it is about these two single adults finding each other and seeing if there is a fit. For me, a big fan of musicals, some of the best moments are when Tony is singing in his nighttime job, or for his uncle's surprise birthday, and also near the end when Tony and Mia sing a duet.
Yes, this is overall a very nice and very entertaining movie. At home streaming on Peacock.
