I am a fan of George Eads on CSI, so I loved getting to see him as a romantic lead in this ABC Family movie. It's one of the better ones that Family Channel has made. If you love dogs and handsome men, you will like this movie. Unfortunately, it is not included on the Family Channel website any more. I'm not sure why, since their other films are there, but I'm hoping that eventually they will offer this on DVD. Otherwise, wait for it to rerun on ABC Family. It's worth watching. George plays an endearing character, and his co-star, Jane, is funny in her role. I also enjoyed seeing the dogs interact, and the way all the little story lines of minor characters were wrapped up as well as the main characters'.

Nice little fluff of "made for TV" movie.

This movie wasn't even listed on the IMDb when it was first shown on network TV. Cute story, man is an under-achiever, walks dogs in the park as a living. One day, an owner has to go out of town suddenly, asks dog-walker to house-sit for him. Cute girl (Jane Krakowski) mistakenly thinks he is the rich owner, she calls him by that name, he doesn't have the guts to tell her right away. I mean, here's a real catch, he is mesmerized by her, spilling the beans will only mean he'll lose her, he thinks.
Eventually he does tell her, she knew anyway, just wanted to see how long it would take for him to admit it. She had found out by talking to the door man. They eventually live happily ever after, we assume. Just fluff, a rating of about 5/10 is about right. Jane Krakowski is one of my favorite actresses that no one knows. A marvelous singer and dancer, she is also a fine actor. However she and the director put it on a bit too sweet in this movie. Fun to watch, but quickly forgettable.

I thought this was a terrific movie because the storyline was played by the PERFECT actors/actresses! George Eads was great and did very well with the sweet parts (like in the elevator, after they are soaking wet from the fountain! AWWWW!) And Jane Krakowski can really pull off the emotional parts! Overall this was such a sweet movie and really touching and if u liked it i suggest u see the movie: "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" (also on ABCFamily [watch the ABCFamily version, the only 1 ive seen]) cuz the ending when she says she'll marry him is sweet and also like a scene before that when he's hugging her and Robins in the middle and she looks up and smiles like she's going "Yessssss!" Well those two movies are really cute and I'd suggest them to anyone!
nice

Not memorable, not good, not bad. Maybe, nice. It is the film of George Eads and Jane Krakowski , the firs enough cute for role - the shirtless scene after shower as bonus in this sense - the second , good actress , perfect to save a role little chaotic and unrealistic. Brenda Vaccaro is just inspired Selma and Preston apartment is the real star of film. I do not ignore the dogs or the misterious package. So, comfortable film, easy recipe, reasonable acting.
