This is yet another Hallmark movie set in Virginia that is nothing like Virginia. Really, I wish they would consult me in the future as a Virginian for all things Virginian.... The story line is very well written, however, and the acting is solid. It has more Christian values in the movie. It's sweet without being overly sappy. But back to my major issue with the film:
I'm not sure where in Virginia they are supposed to be, but I assume some fictional town near Norfolk, Virginia , since it deals with Tidewater and Military. Virginia is not very snowy at all in December, in fact it can be quite mild with only slight chill in the air. The fact that she took the train all the way from Boston (which could be 11or more hours ) , they make it look as if she's in some New England town. No one in Virginia has a strong Southern accent anymore, but they could make an effort to make the characters a bit more Southern. At least the mother reminded me somewhat of people I know in Virginia. But wasn't this directed by Blake Shelton?He should know better. I guess to him Virginia is "Up North". Oh well.
