The climax and ending are sappy and predictable in general terms. Together they had very good chemistry, but not quite sizzling. I love Luke Macfarlane and he fits the hockey player role very well.
TAKING A SHOT OF LOVE HALLMARK MOVIE
But in this movie I found her character very appealing and her acting decent, if a bit restrained. I had mixed reactions to Alexa Penavega's Hallmark performances in the past, some very negative.
You can see how this character would be an inspiration. What I liked about Jenna is that she was always even tempered, even cheerful. Jenna's backstory is revealed a little at a time and it is a sympathetic one. One minor twist in the story is that there's another potential pro hockey player that comes into play. There are different possibilities as to what that might be, however. The teacher's studio is in trouble and you just know the celebrity athlete is going to do something to help. But after the set up, things go pretty much as you'd expect. Despite the first blush impression of ballet, those people are every bit as athletic as any pro athlete in a major sport and it is especially torturous for the dancer's feet. It's also a nice touch to make it a pro from a tough guy sport being put with children to learn ballet. The professional athlete getting help with rehab from a romantic opposite is not the most common trope.
