I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Enjoyable, romantic, emotional, story which I very much enjoyed. Jennifer, an independent, unmarried, woman steps in to help her sister and brother-in-law take care of their children while they go on a three-week honeymoon to Europe that they never had. The grandparents were supposed to be with the children, but their grandfather injured his hip and cannot fly. The three children range in age from elementary school to high school. As Jennifer deals with trying to take care of the children, she forms a bond with her unattached neighbor next door and occasionally asks for his help. Jennifer soon realizes that she can't be the children's best friends after several emotional setbacks and realizes she needs to act like a parent.Meanwhile, her sister Mandy has lost her romantic side, and she and her husband struggle to get that back while on their honeymoon. Mandy is overly concerned about leaving the children with Jennifer, who she feels is incompetent. The neighbor, played by Warren Christie, was so kind and caring and I loved his character. Anna Chlumpsky played Jennifer, and unfortunately, she annoyed me. Her facial expressions were over the top. Eyes bulging, mouth twisting, etc. If you love Hallmark movies as I do, I don't think you'll be disappointed in this.

Jennifer Mills (Anna Chlumsky) is a 25 year old freewheeling single with commitment issues and an aloof boyfriend. Her older sister Mandy and husband are going on a European vacation for 3 weeks. At the last minute, their mother can't babysit the 3 kids due to an injury to their father. Not everything goes smoothly with the cool aunt. The eldest daughter Alice Norton (Tiera Skovbye) has boy troubles. The younger girl has mean girls troubles, and the boy is a neurotic mess being bullied. Will Johnson (Warren Christie) is the handsome new next door neighbor who lends a hand. It turns out that her mother isn't really truthful.It's a Hallmark movie with nothing special. It's shot like every other second rate TV movie. There isn't much to recommend other than that there isn't anything objectionable going on. The acting is unimpressively reasonable. The dialog is pedestrian. The movie could do with some hijinx. The kids' problems are good drama. The little kids almost save this movie. The parents in Europe is not so good drama because there is no real danger of a breakup. The romantic chemistry between Jennifer and Will could do with a bit more heat but it's sweet anyways.

Anna Chlumsky showed so much promise when she was a kid. Yet now she's resorted to made for TV drivel. This movie is about Jenny, a 20 something girl who can't commit to anything. She ends up looking after her sister's three kids for three weeks while their parents go on a second honeymoon. Cool Aunt Jenny learns that she can be responsible. Each of the kids learns how to deal with some kind of issue they are dealing with. Mom and Dad learn to put the romance back in their relationship. It all unfolds very predictably. There is also a love interest neighbour to come to the rescue when needed. This Hallmark movie is a safe bet if you're looking for something inoffensive to watch with your family. Other than that, don't bother.

The picture is a good one as it deals with interpersonal relations and that everyone has needs and improvements to make in life.A couple, going on a honeymoon after 15 years of marriage, leaves their 3 children with the wife's youngest sister when grandpa and grandma kept come to babysit.This becomes a learning experience for the aunt, the children and the husband and wife, even when the latter are in Europe, they realize that they've come to a crisis in their marriage.The film is a good one because it deals with the coming of age and the maturity and responsibilities which come along.
