Movie #1718 ........................."When Sparks Fly"

Movie #1718 "When Sparks Fly" ---- so with the royal baby coming into the world the other day, I decided I should get more acquainted with his mum, so I picked up one of those hallmark two-packs and this was the first movie I saw her in ---- she's impressive , for a hallmark film --- ie, I would actually seek her out in more films if she were making them --- which I don't think she will ever do again.  Anyway, this would be a fun movie to show at 4th of July because it deals with her family owning the only fireworks company in this small town, but she leaves it to go to Chicago to follow her dream of being a big deal journalist, but she's unhappy with that job.  When she goes back to be in her best friend's wedding, she finds out her bf is marrying her old boyfriend, whom she still carries a torch for (but she hasn't seen since moving to Chicago).  Ooh!  another kind of fireworks start up --- I really didn't think the film could ever come to a happily ever after ending with that conflict, but Hallmark does amazing things in that department.  Seriously, she's a good actress, very wholesome, truthful, natural --- she'll be GREAT dealing with all her royal ness and that queen!  I'd give this 3.8 -- it was pretty predictable, but honest.
