Ellen, a New York lawyer, and her pre-engagement boyfriend Hayden, a politician, are perfect together on paper, but she still has not given him an answer to his proposal of marriage. Ellen and her maternal grandmother Ruth have always had a special bond, they going on unusual adventures together, something that Ellen's more conservative mother, Cynthia, has never understood. The last words Ruth said to Ellen before she passed away was for Ellen to hand deliver a letter for her, it addressed to a Chet Cumberfield in Beacon, Maine, where, as Ellen just learns, Ruth was born and grew up, Chet of who Ellen and Cynthia had never heard. Ellen has no hesitation in obliging her grandmother's last request, it a task which she believes will take two days at the most, her return to New York when she will give Hayden an answer. Ellen makes a literal and figurative big splash upon her arrival in Beacon, that event which will forever tie her to a local contractor named Roy in the minds of Beacon ... Written by

This made for movie television may have many flaws, like one imdb reviewer said, but when I checked the other reviews by the said reviewers, that particular reviewer is hard to please.
I agree with those things mentioned, but unlike that reviewer, I love this movie. The chemistry between MARC BLUCAS and ALLISON SWEENEY is undeniable. So what if she's older? I did question the lack of mention of the camera(just like the forgotten snowmobile in another movie that I liked)sinking to the bottom of the...She was taking pictures of the gigantic Blueberry lady, for lack of a better term, and she did say it, but she didn't even try to salvage the poor "thing".
Oh well. That kiss must have been something for her to forget her SLR/DSLR.
SHIRLEY JONES was very believable as the grandmother with a mysterious past.
SAMANTHA FERRIS was definitely Paula.
REBECCA STAAB was good as always.
I could go on and on, but I'll just be blabbering.
It would be better if you saw the movie yourselves.
