      That’s the level of inane all Hallmark movies are. Zero character development, no conflict plot devices, just a bunch of “awww that’s sweet” without making the audience use any kind of critical thinking. Eating cards is a step up.

    Don’t forget she has to cheat on her husband to be with the card eater, but it’s ok because we don’t actually see the husband in the movie.

      Part of what ticks me off is it trying to say that successful women can’t have love unless they give up their career and life to be subservient to another and follow their dreams and live a “simple life”. You never see any where they go back to the “big city” and she continues with her career.

        “Small-town loser lands sugar mama and moves to swanky midtown apartment” is a plot that would presumably appeal to a different audience than the one Hallmark Channel is targeting, though.
