For me, this film has everything - quirky humour, laugh-out-loud moments, truly unexpected events and a group of people it's very easy to feel part of.
It's rare to find something these days in the romcom genre which doesn't follow a set pattern, but this truly doesn't; and it kept me guessing - and entertained - right up to the end. This is unusual as my attention span is pretty short!
The best thing about it? It feels real. Nothing is 'held back' for the sake of how it looks, yet all the boxes one has to tick today are there naturally. The worst thing about it? It had to end and there isn't a sequel!

Now, I know one is supposed to suspend logic and reality when one watches this type of film, but there are limits, and this crosses them totally.
Firstly, every pilot seems to be a Captain. Not sure why. Secondly, if you get to be a pilot, let alone Captain, you have considerable knowledge and experience, and you know ATC is responsible for everyone's safety, so you wouldn't joke around like a child in a bus!
Her colleague also is rude and ignorant, with no idea of the importance of teamwork, and she is apparently also employed to serve hot chocolate in take-away cups to private jet clients!
I despair! Not for me - and not for anyone else who has any knowledge of flying! Truly one of the worst films I've ever had the misfortune to see.

I am extremely surprised by the positive ratings for this absolutely abysmal film.
The only reason I gave it 2 stars is the grandmothers were mildly endearing, but for the rest of it, no, just NO.
The actor playing the leading man is clearly, shall we say, not a ladies' man. This made the whole 'romance' far-fetched in the extreme, and neither could, for me, convince anyone their feelings were genuine. They even managed to look uncomfortable together; not ideal in a romance.
Unfortunately, Hallmark is becoming formulaic in the extreme, and while the premise of this film differs slightly from that formula, which is why I watched it, it still disappointed.
