Not a terrible way to spend a rainy Sunday night, folding laundry.
It's not anything we've never seen before: boy meets girl, boy falls
in love with girl, girl is already engaged to very successful Mr.
Perfect pro-hockey player. But anymore now, it's not the stories that
drive these kinds of predictible romantic potboilers; you have to
have likeable actors who can pull off likeable "cute" without looking
like annoying Olsen Twins "cute". In this case, they hired some
very cute actors to play easygoing, made-for-TV quirky characters,
especially Richard Ruccolo, whose characterization of a goofy, but
sincere caterer, keeps the schmaltzy moments grounded and you
can't help but root for him -- he reminds you of a best friend who
was always the nice guy who deserved a good relationship or just
someone your mother would want you to bring home. Watching it
makes you have to admit to yourself that for even the most devout
cynic, there is still that miniscule part that still wants to give true
love a chance.
