A cute film with the usual Hallmark touches and flow - the denouement commencing at about the 90-minute mark. Overall, I enjoyed the film. Who doesn't enjoy Hallmark actors and filming locations? However, as both a retired U. S. Marine Corps fighter pilot and healthcare executive, I must take issue with whatever technical counsel film producers and director were given in the making of the film. Every USAF, Navy and USMC fighter pilot I've known and flown with has had that well-earned - some might even say - notorious characteristic of being bold and confident, perhaps even cocky. So, to those of us with a well-trained eye, Heather Hemmens came off entirely too much like a wet noodle. Finally, a doctors office and staff would never talk openly about another patient's health condition. A cute movie that might have been even better, more believable.

A single mom and a single dad find each other, with some help from their respective daughters. Stated as this, the movie could very well be one more light fare, uninspired romantic com, as I have come to expect from Hallmark in recent years. Happily, this one numbers in the shrinking tier of their better productions. The sentimental story is enriched by judicious doses of other interesting themes that are interwoven with the main plot, with proper balance. The mom, Emma, is a Thunderbird pilot, convincingly played by Heather Hemmens, which justifies the inclusions of spectacular acrobatic aerial stunts. The dad, predictably well done by Niall Matter, is a tender father, devoted to his daughter who is afflicted by a congenital heart malformation. Young Georgia Acken is adorable in this role and her immediate friendship with Emma's daughter, enjoyably portrayed by the other young actress, Pietra Castro, adds warmth to the action. There are necessary elements of drama, that should not be revealed to avoid spoilers, none overplayed and all quite appropriate. All of the main characters have endearing qualities and honest emotions, which contributes to render the film a wholesome show, one with more than sufficient elements of attraction for entire family viewing.

This was a decent and traditional Hallmark romance between two single parents, one of whom is the newest member of the elite U. S. Air Force's Thunderbirds who fly F-16 falcons for airshows and exhibitions.

Emma recently relocated from overseas with her daughter Lucy, to her new Air Force assignment in Las Vegas as the newest member of the Thunderbird flying team. She is busy, studying and preparing for her role in the flight pattern for the upcoming air show. Which is why Lucy takes it upon herself to join forces with fellow classmate, friend and pilot want-to-be Alice to fix her mom up with Alice's widower father Paul.

Paul's wife died in childbirth, but managed to pass her heart condition on to their daughter Alice. Alice has already had one open heart surgery, but is quickly approaching needing a transplant...but this does not slow her down from her dream of wanting to be a pilot.

Lots of flight time and good plane visuals as well as some outdoor camping as Paul is the owner of an outdoor and sporting equipment store.

I loved seeing how Paul was such a good girl dad, letting them put makeup on him and do his hair...as well as getting them to experience some of the great outdoors. Great healthy lessons.

The dialogue and connection was a little awkward at the beginning, but warmed as the romance built. I would recommend this to any fans of the Air Force, fighter planes and romance...especially those who like hallmark films. I really like the actor Niall Matter who played Paul and this was my first time to see the actress Heather Hemmens who played Emma, but she was lovely...and I liked her wedding dress it was beautiful but different.
