What a lame ending. Spoilers

She suddenly quits her job just when she's about to be promoted to president and says she never wanted the corporate life anyway when that's practically all she's thought about through the entire movie? Sheesh. There is no explanation of what she's going to do next.

Before that, she allows the new boyfriend to walk unhappily out of her seemingly chaotic house when a few words of explanation would have cleared things up, but she just stands there with her mouth open. The next time she sees him, she says , "I guess I should have explained things." That seemed to be added by the writers because of potential viewer outrage over the previous lamebrain scene.

Before that, the new boyfriend is able to instantly scribble in a couple of magical adjustments to her carefully written presentation without even reading it.

It all ends with the Hallmarkian answer to everything-a wedding.

It was actually a moderately cute movie before these ridiculous scenes made it fall apart.

I have to agree. It was a rather poorly crafted story that suffered from a weak script among other things. Too bad, it could have been so much better. The lead character you descrided became increasingly unlikable as the story progressed. I guess we are to believe that she is of such a character that she would agree to fly off to Boston for the weekend on a date with a guy she hardly knows. She only met him a couple of days earlier. Then comes the usual hallmark trait. Out of the blue, she suddenly experiences an epiphany and then happily ever after.

I got suckered into watching this with a family member, and it was moderately okay.

But I have to say, that scene where the investor looked at the proposal to make it "more profitable", looked through the first 3 pages, and wrote what looked to be 7 letters on it, then said, "That will do it", was hilarious.

I understand it could have been boring to just have him there reading it, but come on, do some kind of time transition or something to show that it took more than 30 seconds and four pen strokes.

Argh, how did I get suckered into watching a Hallmark movie?

And does Wishy-whiskers the dog get his dreams to come true next?
