a prominent neuroscientist tries to decide whether to leave the big city for her hometown and the grieving, widowed, blandly inoffensive single dad she just met. It’s fine, and in a rarity for a mid-tier Hallmark movie the male lead isn’t at all creepy. Worth watching just for the total lack of research that went into writing it, epitomised in the immortal line: “I read about your latest study in Psychology Now, it sounds like it has great peer reviews!” Also the Christmas tree ornament at the heart of the plot it so hideous its very appearance might shatter your television.
