i only watched this bc Bryan cranston was in it. I guess it’s good if you’re into hallmark movies and small town happy endings, but it’s a yawner 🥱

Definition of a great movie, has a plot that gives you just enough to be entertained and keep you going. With some nice characters and humour throughout. I only watched it because I saw it on tiktok and I'm not disappointed.
