I saw this film for the presence in cast of Dolores Drake. And, indeed, she offers a great job. But , in same measure, it is unfair to not appreciate the effort, with nice results, of the rest of cast. Sure, predictable, defined by cliches, the Hollywood star and the trainer, two romance stories and the ex present in clue moment, a project as hommage to personal past and for prosperity of comunity and the expression of gratitude of the hero for his helper. But a decent work, not remarkable - difficult to be for a Hallmark movie - but honest and correct and, in few scenes, charming. I admitt, for me is just enough.

Like many, I was disturbed by the thought of Chris Russell in a fat suit and the potential for body shaming. But despite my initial misgivings, this movie turned out better than expected. The fat suit was an epic fail and totally unnecessary (just have him wear baggy clothes), but the story was engaging enough, and they snuck through a couple of lines that I never thought I'd hear in a Hallmark movie (a female character whose last name is Netherregions and a reference to someone dropping a deuce after you hear a toilet flush in the background?). Overall an enjoyable watch.
